Anantara Hotels & Resorts Showcases Thailand’s Shoulder Season Experiences
As the northern summer crowds recede and the landscapes regain their vibrancy after the monsoon, September and October, Thailand’s shoulder season, offer a quieter way to discover the country’s diverse destinations. From the misty mountains of the north to the southern islands, Anantara Hotels & Resorts invites travellers to explore Thailand’s natural beauty, cultural traditions, and warm hospitality. Experiences range from jungle escapes in Chiang Rai and riverside stays in Chiang Mai to coastal getaways in Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, as well as culinary journeys in Bangkok.
Northern Adventures: Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai
With the rains easing, the northern countryside becomes green and inviting, setting the stage for outdoor activities. At Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, guests can join the ‘Shades of Chiang Rai: Verdant Jungle’ package, which includes a full board stay, indigenous spa treatments, and daily activities such as elephant encounters, cooking classes, Muay Thai lessons, and local excursions. Options such as the Mekong Explorer Tents or the Canopy Treetop Dining Experience allow travellers to view the meeting point of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, while observing the surrounding landscapes that are also home to rescued elephants.
In Chiang Mai, September and October bring fewer visitors and comfortable temperatures. Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, designed by Kerry Hill and set along the Mae Ping River, offers access to the city’s cultural landmarks, artisan villages, and tea plantations. Within the resort, travellers can dine at the 1921 House, formerly the British consulate, or take a river journey aboard the Dibba Yana Chitta.
