Anantara Golden invites guests to celebrate World Elephant Day on August 12

To celebrate World Elephant Day on August 12th, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp and Resort in Thailand’s north is inviting guests to a day of fun showcasing the unique local indigenous culture while celebrating the rescued residents living in the resorts surrounding lush jungle.
 
The elephants’ special day kicks off with a traditional blessing ceremony followed by a massive buffet of all their favourite fruit and vegetables. Local hilltribe students and artists dressed in traditional northern attire will also join in on the festivities making it a truly indigenous experience.
 
Set up in 2003 as a traditional mahout village, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp and Resort works alongside the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) to provide care not only for the 20 elephants that it has rescued from Thailand’s city streets and illegal logging camps, but also their mahouts and their families.
 
As part of the celebrations, Anantara Golden Triangle has also launched a limited-time ‘Touched by Gentle Giants’ discovery package that includes daily interactions with the resident rescue elephants at the hotel’s elephant camp and insights into its scientific research and elephant conservation programme – an opportunity to form a deeper connection to these spectacular creatures in their natural habitat.
