| Meet Anantara Golden Triangle’s Director of Elephants When it comes to elephants, John Roberts is more than just an expert. As Anantara Golden Triangle’s resident Director of Elephants since 2003, John has become legendary – as an avid conservationist, committed activist, and, to the cast of jumbos at our world-famous Elephant Camp, a friend and father figure. No one has done more to address the plight of Thailand’s working elephants, and our visitors and guests, as well as conservationists from all over the world can’t get enough of him.
