A secret place in Southeast Asia hidden in the rainforest, a perfect choice for a family vacation! The most surprising discovery of this trip to Banna was Anantara! The hotel is located next to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When you open the window, you will see the lush tropical rainforest, as if you have lived in the documentary "Animal World"🌿 Every morning, I was awakened by the birdsong, and I also encountered a little squirrel on the balcony who came to steal bananas. The children were so excited that they jumped up and down! The basic room type we booked is also super spacious, with full Dai-style design details. I love the huge round bathtub the most. The children played with it as a small swimming pool. At night, they can watch the stars through the floor-to-ceiling windows when taking a bath. ✨Service: From the smiling welcome upon arrival to the small gifts of the turndown service every day (there are handmade Dai paper bookmarks!), the delicacy of Thai service is reflected everywhere. Special thanks to the lady at the front desk. When she saw the child was bitten by mosquitoes, she took the initiative to send mosquito repellent cream and antipruritic medicine.
Food: The rice noodle stall for breakfast must be checked in! The fresh and fragrant broth is served with more than a dozen ingredients, and you won’t get tired of it even if you eat it for three days. We tried Dai barbecue for dinner. The lemongrass grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was perfect with the hotel's homemade fruit wine🍹
Activities:
