Getting out into nature is one of the best ways to lift the spirits and restore energy levels. Sleeping in a tent in the forest may sound too exciting for some — what with the animals, insects, and the weather to contend with — but these transparent bubbles might be the perfect solution.

Situated inside the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort in Chiang Rai, the northernmost city in Thailand, these two transparent Jungle Bubbles offer holiday goers a unique opportunity to spend the night with elephants in their natural habitat while having the familiarity of staying in a hotel room.

The Jungle Bubbles were custom designed by Eye In The Sky and specially built with high-tech polyester fabric on raised wooden decks for better viewing of the elephants. In addition to the 4.5m diameter bedroom and living space with king-sized bed and seating for the close-to-nature experience, there’s also an indoor living area and enclosed and private bathroom. All the areas are fully conditioned and full amenities including minibar are provided.

Guests can also join activities such as having a romantic walk at sunset accompanied by elephants, a fully prepared picnic in the jungle, and the most meaningful one — the Elephant Learning Experience, which includes learning about elephant biology, behaviour, and conservation with an expert, as you take the giant creatures for a walk to their shower.
