Hey! There is an elephant on your pillow!
We do not assure you that you will sleep soundly. The footsteps and trumpets of the elephants are felt close, very close, and the sharpness with which the cosmos is perceived gives something of vertigo. What we do guarantee is that the night you spend in one of the two new bubble rooms , jungle bubbles they call them, from the ** Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort ,** you will not forget it in your life.
Since the hotel opened 17 years ago, where the Ruak River meets the Mekong, on the triple border between Thailand , Laos and Burma , its 65 hectares of land have been the headquarters of the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF), a non-profit organization run by Dr. Nissa Mututanont, an eminence in pachyderms, which it gives refuge (and a good life) to more than twenty elephants rescued from the streets, forced labor and illegal trafficking.
Elephants at the exit of your room-bubble
Also to their mahouts, their caretakers (and owners) and their families , to whom –and here lies the success of the foundation– are offered a living wage and they are reeducated so that their dealing with the animal is kinder.
Perched on wooden platforms, The original bubbles are made of fully transparent high-tech polyester fabric. And seeing everything that surrounds us, who will want to close their eyes? _(From 505 euros: includes dinner for two and room service) _.
