From the Harper Collection: "Stylish hill country retreat amid 160 acres of tranquil gardens in the Golden Triangle overlooking Burma (Myanmar), Laos and the Mekong River, an hour north of Chiang Rai (4 hours by car from Chiang Mai). Regional fabrics and artifacts accent the 77 imaginatively designed guest quarters equipped with satellite TVs/DVDs and modern baths with striking terrazzo tubs for two. Reflecting pools and a phalanx of burnished elephant heads guide guests into the exotic temple-like main building containing two fine restaurants (Thai and Italian cuisine), plus a Thai cooking school. The resort offers a spectacular free-form infinity-edge pool, squash courts, a fitness center and a small but beautifully appointed spa. Activities include speedboat cruises along the Mekong, cultural excursions to hill tribe villages and instruction at the hotel’s own elephant training camp." A three-night stay in a suite (retail value $2,600) is currently available on Harper Auctions for an opening bid of $1,300.
