Elevated Gastronomy Experience Arrives at Anantara Golden Triangle

A naturalist’s playground surrounded by Northern Thailand’s jungle, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort has unveiled Canopy, A Tree Top Dining Experience, a dining concept that speaks to the resort’s eco-conscious ethos and its commitment to promoting regional flavours.

Canopy – A Tree Top Dining Experience

Perched 52 metres above the grassland, Canopy is an open-sided capsule that offers guests 360-degree vistas of the Golden Triangle. The design, reminiscent of local beehives, uses natural materials and muted, earthy tones. With the first morning light, epicurious travellers equipped with binoculars can observe the life below, including the elephants from the nearby camp. Lunch hours invite a culinary exploration of regional tastes. Dusk transforms the capsule into a sundowner spot.

Canopy has an all-day tasting menu that is served in traditional, nature-inspired Pinto containers. The Mekong Discovery menu pays homage to the region’s culinary heritage, featuring dishes like Laotian riverweed paired with yellowfin tuna larb and Chiang Rai’s curried pork on roasted rice toast. Culinary Adventure is a fusion of Eastern tradition and Western innovation, presenting dishes such as tender wagyu short ribs on artisanal bread rolls, Phuket lobster wrap with local avocados, baked Royal Projects figs in crème brûlée, and native strawberry with mint in choux pastry. Finally, the Gourmet Odyssey menu elevates local cuisine with ingredients like wagyu M5 beef, king scallops, and Royal Projects caviar, with desserts ranging from kaffir lime financier to rose and pumpkin mousse, and burnt coconut crème brûlée.

Chef Says

Executive chef Pisit ‘Jino’ Jinopong explains, “At the heart of the Anantara Golden Triangle experience is a profound connection with the environment, whether through daily interactions with our rescue elephants, jungle trekking, or dining. Canopy is a testament to our care for ecological mindfulness, providing guests a space to engage with the natural world in an intimate and nourishing manner.”

With tasting menu prices starting at THB 14,000 per couple, Canopy welcomes guests from 7.00 am to 11.30 am for breakfast, 12.30 pm to 4.30 pm for lunch, and 5.30 pm to 7.00 pm for sundowners.
