There is more than a hint of adventure in the air at Anantara Golden Triangle Resort and Spa where trekking through tropical jungles astride an elephant is an everyday occurrence. Overlooking the winding Mekong River surrounded by 160 acres of bamboo forest, this elegant resort provides a relaxing spa, glorious views and an elephant camp. From the sofa on your balcony, the view of the Laos and Myanmar hills is truly breathtaking. Inside, you are cocooned in a swathe of silks and complete comfort, while regional works of art, beautiful teak and terrazzo floors add a rustic, distinctly Thai style. Go elephant trekking and on your return watch them bathe and cool down in the water. Visit three countries in one day; take a morning stroll through a bustling border market in Myanmar, lunch in the historic Lanna Kingdom, followed by afternoon shopping in Laos. Yoga classes, Thai cookery lessons and long tail boat trips are also available.
