YORK, February 28, 2013 – Chiang Rai, Thailand's northernmost
province that is renowned for its pristine natural beauty and the rich
indigenous culture of its various hill tribe communities, will offer a
dramatic setting for the upcoming season finale of The Bachelor,
scheduled to air Monday, March 11, 2013 (8:00–10:01 p.m. ET/PT) on ABC.
This
season on The Bachelor, Sean Lowe, 29, the successful Dallas
businessman and entrepreneur who charmed fans while wooing Bachelorette
Emily Maynard, met 26 potential soul mates and began his journey in
search of the right woman. Sean was blindsided in the Caribbean island of
Curaçao when Emily rejected him, and the audience watched as he wrestled
to make sense of her decision. On March 11, viewers will find out if Sean
has finally found love.
Viewers
will accompany Sean and his final two bachelorettes as they explore the
Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa. Located in the famed Golden
Triangle, this natural jungle retreat covers 160 acresand offers
panoramic views of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos, as well as the Mekong
River. The Anantara Golden Triangle is also home to an onsite Elephant
Camp, which acts as the Northern extension of the Royal Thai Government’s
Thai Elephant Conservation Centre (TECC). Here, Sean and his final
contestants were afforded the rare opportunity to get up close and
personal with the country’s beloved gentle giants.
While
in Chiang Rai, Sean and the remaining bachelorettes also released
floating lanterns, referred to locally as khom loi, which is a ritual
that originated in northern Thailand and traditionally symbolizes the
floating away of problems and worries. The season’s final rose ceremony,
in which Sean selects his winner and ultimately decides whether or not to
propose, took place at Anantara’s private hilltop sala with a view of the
Mekong River at sunset.
The
Anantara Golden Triangle invites guests to share the same amazing
adventures as those seen on with a new package offered exclusively by the
resort. Couples can trek through a bamboo forest atop an elephant, dine
in the middle of an exotic rice paddy field while being tended to by a
private chef and butler, or recreate the famous rose ceremony at
Anantara’s hilltop sala. package includes accommodations in the same
suite featured on the show along with all-inclusive benefits including
meals at the resort’s authentic Thai and Italian restaurants, Internet
access and luxury transfers to and from Chiang Rai Airport. Finally, the
package grants couples access to the Opium Museum and one daily
experience from a choice of Anantara Spa treatments, activities at the
onsite Elephant Camp, a private class at Anantara Cooking School and a
Golden Triangle private excursion. Prices for this one-of-a-kind trip
start at USD $1,173 (BHT 35,000++).
Previously,
Sean and his bachelorettes visited Thailand’s southern province of Trang,
located along the Andaman Coast. During their time there, Sean and his
guests experienced several of the destination’s highlights, including a
visit to the “Emerald Cave” – a remote lagoon known for its
emerald-colored waters and limestone cliffs – and a picnic on the remote
Yong Ling Beach. Other notable activities experienced during their time
in Trang included a visit to Si Kao Market and a ride on a traditional
“junk boat” to Koh Kai and surrounding islands for snorkeling.
