My family of four is listening to these night sounds from Anantara Golden Triangles three-year-old Jungle Bubble Lodge.

Connected to these bedrooms are opaque bathroom bubbles with sleek vanities and walk-in showers.

Needless to say, we are hardly roughing it.

(Though surrounded by wilderness, the bubbles are just a short jeep ride from the central hotel.)

There are also two one-bedroom bubbles for couples.

The results are delicious.

It is semi-prepared at the resort kitchen, then transported and finished in a kitchen adjacent to the lodge.

The food at this property is some of the best weve had on our trip to Thailand.

Another highlight is our cooking class through the on-site Spice Spoons cooking school.

All treatments begin with an herbal footbath ritual, which is an incredibly thoughtful and relaxing touch.
