Anantara Golden Triangles Elephant Camp in Thailand

Elephants are administrated by the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation and located at Anantara Resort and Spa, and Four seasons, close to Golden Triangle, Chiang Rai.

2003: Director: John Roberts.

Set up in 2003 as a traditional mahout village, Anantara Golden Triangle’s Elephant Camp works alongside Anantara’s Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) to perform street rescues, provide ongoing employment and a comfortable lifestyle for each elephant and its entire mahout family, as well as to participate in bigger picture projects. Fully self sufficient, the Camp now supports more than 25 elephants and 60 people.
