By far the most glorious suite I have ever stayed in. The Penthouse Suite at Anantara Koh Yao Yai Resort & Villas is beyond magnificent. It has two stories with a rooftop pool, a kitchen, massive living room, bedroom and walk-through closet. However the crown jewel is the double whirlpool bath tub with that view.

At Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort guests have an opportunity to make snacks for the elephants and then hand-feed them. Truly an amazing experience to have an elephant reach out with their trunk and grab a rice, banana, sweet potato ball from my hand. They are very gentle.
