Anantara Golden Triangle Resort Spa has received three awards including the Condé Nast Traveler's 2012 World Savers Award, which celebrates support of local communities and the protection of the planet.
The Chiang Rai resort also won the top Wildlife Award and was runner up in the Preservation Section. At the 2012 HICAP Sustainable Hotel Awards, which recognise Asia Pacific hotels that demonstrate exemplary environmental and cultural best practices, the hilltop resort won the Sustainable Destinations category, and Travel Weekly presented Anantara with the Hospitality Eco Friendly Green Resort/Hotel 2012 Silver Magellan Award.
Anantara Golden Triangle Resort Spa's eco achievements include recycled wood and locally sourced materials to refurbish pre-existing buildings, tree planting and wastewater treatment initiatives, as well as enforcement of non-hunting and fishing regulations to create a haven for native species.
The resort's Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) was set up in 2005 to rescue Thailand's street elephants. The onsite Elephant Camp is now run as a unique scheme whereby the elephant and mahout are rented at a steady income in return for participating in Camp activities.
