A naturalist’s playground surrounded by Northern Thailand’s lush jungle, Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort proudly unveils Canopy, A Tree Top Dining Experience, an innovative dining concept that speaks to the resort’s eco-conscious ethos and its commitment to promoting authentic regional flavours.
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 to provide a tranquil haven where the only interruption is the symphony of the forest, and where one’s eye can rest upon the serene tapestry of nature.
With the first morning light, epicurious travellers equipped with binoculars can observe the stirring of life below, including the majestic elephants from the nearby camp. Lunch hours invite a culinary exploration of regional tastes as the jungle thrives in full daylight. Dusk transforms the capsule into an enchanting sundowner spot, aglow with the soft light of the setting sun.
Canopy’s all-day tasting menus, served in traditional, nature-inspired Pinto containers, balance savoury and sweet flavours with finesse. The Mekong Discovery menu pays homage to the region’s culinary heritage, featuring dishes like Laotian riverweed paired with zesty yellowfin tuna larb and Chiang Rai’s own 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 luxurious 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.
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.
