Set in the mysterious north of Thailand, near the border with Laos and Burma, is Anantara, Thailand’s premier elephant camp. Set on a ridge overlooking the hills of the three countries and the convergence of the Roak and Mekong Rivers, it's a real opportunity to see another side of Thailand. With luxurious surroundings and delectable food, the resort also has a renowned on-site elephant camp enabling you to learn more about these magnificent animals and ensuring there is plenty to keep you busy. However, it's well worth taking the opportunity to explore the fascinating neighbouring countries.
