With views of the fabled Golden Triangle, Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa features a wealth of colour, culture, and character. Located in the charming northern Thai town of Chiang Rai, the resort offers a uniquely ideal setting for a wedding, with picture-perfect vistas of lush mountains, rice paddies, and the majestic Mekong River valley. In addition, enjoy superlative hospitality, wonderful cuisine, and a sunset ride on the back of an elephant, a resident of the resort’s own elephant camp.

While you can elect to exchange your vows and rings in the traditions of your home country, augment the experience with quintessentially northern Thai touches. For example, begin your ceremony with the ancient rhythm of a traditional drum in a choreographed elephant procession. Make your way to the resort’s Mae Khong Terrace, where you say your “I dos” overlooking the verdant, breezy hills of Thailand, Burma, and Laos. Seal your union enveloped by nature, and add the meaningful Thai traditions of a monks’ ceremony and holy water pouring ritual for a truly unforgettable moment in this chapter of your lives.

Anantara Golden Triangle Resort can also host equally enchanting indoor ceremonies, with sprays of tropical lilies in every corner and vibrant Thai silks draped from every window. Here, you can still enjoy the gorgeous natural views, with the serpentine sliver of the Mekong in the distance, as you celebrate with close friends and family. The resort provides several wedding packages to suit your needs, including garlands and a bouquet, religious ceremony set-up, candlelit dinner, spa treatment, live Thai Lanna classical music, and more. Creative Events Asia can work with the resort to facilitate any extra requests, or help you navigate the legal marriage registration process.

When all is said and done, stay on for the honeymoon of a lifetime. In Chiang Rai, jungle adventures await — explore Anantara’s 160 acres of bamboo forest, rice paddies, and indigenous gardens; visit the historic town of Chiang Saen; or enjoy a longtail boat journey on the Mekong River. Also, discover the resort’s elephant camp, which houses over 25 gentle giants. Choose from the Mahout Experience, Elephant Learning Experience, and Elephant Trek adventures; and learn about Anantara’s Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation for elephant care and conservation, as well as its broader community benefits.

While this Thai wedding destination doesn’t involve the beach, it is just as magical. With many unique cultural charms, luxurious facilities, and abundance of tropical splendour, celebrate your nuptials in legendary style at the Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa.
