Welcome To Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, Thailand

Amid exotic bamboo jungles, where three countries meet, enjoy hours interacting with elephants – training and trekking – in this once-in-a-lifetime experience for active adults and teens. Just 15 tented accommodations – unique in luxury, complete with hand-hammered copper bathtubs – echo the romantic spirit of 19th-century explorers. All-inclusive Four Seasons adventures cover every detail, from drinks and dining to river boat excursions to meet local hill tribes.

"... the Four Seasons Tented Camp deserves praise for creating an inspired travel experience that joins timeless elegance together with the unforgettable creatures that are Thailand’s national symbols – and even more importantly, for helping them to thrive." Asian Geographic Passport, June 2009"

Guest rooms and suites

Overview

15 free-standing tented accommodations spaced at a comfortable distance from each other allow total privacy. Built on elevated ground along a one-kilometre (0.6-mile) hillside trail overlooking the Ruak River, Burma, the mountains of Laos or the jungle and Golden Triangle, each tent is designed as an open space with a large outdoor deck. Furnishings are handcrafted and custom-made, in styles reminiscent of 19th-century adventure expeditions. Each tent features one king or two twin beds.

Set in the seclusion of a Thai jungle, your luxury Tented Camp accommodation is part of an all-inclusive package designed for active adults which includes:

• Private round-trip airport transfer
• Luxury tented accommodation
• Full board including house wines and spirits
• Mahout training and elephant trekking
• Golden Triangle excursion
• Spa treatment

Tent

A quaint walkway leads to each tent, where elephant-tusk-styled door handles open into a living area measuring 54 square metres (581 square feet). The 15 tents are named after local hill tribes, fauna and flora. Each shares a common layout, but is uniquely decorated and furnished in an individual colour scheme with coordinated furnishings.

• The outdoor deck measures 37 square metres (398 square feet) and features a daybed and two massage beds built on a wooden platform, covered by the extended roof.
• The living area features hardwood flooring, a large hardwood desk with leather-and-hardwood bush chairs, paddle fans, a free-standing mirror and binoculars for bird watching.
• A luxurious sleeping area features a bed with mosquito net. Nearby is a shelf displaying books and magazines about the culture, history and natural environment of the region.
• An open-plan bathroom is incorporated into the living area, featuring a custom-made, two-person, hand-hammered copper bathtub with hand shower in the centre of the tent. An outdoor rain shower and separate WC are adjacent to the living area.
• Additional amenities include air conditioning and heating, coffee- and tea-making facilities, a multi-line cordless telephone with voice mail, wireless high-speed Internet access and data port, an in-tent safe and a refrigerated private bar.
• Due to the Camp's remote location, only Internet newspapers are available.
• In an effort to protect the sounds of nature and the forest environment, televisions, DVD players and radios are not provided.

Spa

At the spa at Four Seasons Tented Camp, wonder-working treatments rejuvenate your body and bathe your spirit in perfect serenity. Amidst the bamboo forests of the Golden Triangle are two open-air salas featuring double treatment rooms, spa beds and a bathtub/shower area. With their rustic design and use of natural materials, the salas blend in with the environment.

In this environment of simple luxury, traditional Thai massages and innovative rituals assisted by the healing power of mountain botanicals and warming spices guide you on a restorative journey. Private yoga classes are available on request, fee applies.

The Dining Experience

Dining at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle is an integral part of the Camp's activities. It promises to be an experience you will remember long after your adventure with us.

As a small, close-knit community, guests share their dining experiences in locations that may vary from day to day. Breakfast is served at Nong Yao, our main restaurant. Lunch may be a picnic in the jungle. After late-afternoon activities, catch a sundowner – 30 minutes of snacks and refreshments while you watch the sky turn golden. Dinner may be an event at the Camp, too. It may be a private barbecue under the stars, a five-course formal meal or a dinner by campfire at Elephant Camp.

For your excursions, picnic baskets can be prepared from a choice of items and served in Four Seasons style complete with folding camp table, stools and linen napkins. (Fees apply to dinner and picnic baskets.)

Services and activities

Pool

The free-form pool and connected whirlpool provide guests with a relaxing break between other activities. Located on a higher level and landscaped with local granite boulders and teak logs, the pools overlook the Ruak River. Snacks and beverages are served poolside from sunrise to sunset.

The Camp experience

You've yearned for adventure, and have wanted to discover the mysteries of the Golden Triangle. In an all-inclusive three-or four-night adventure designed for active adults at the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, unique activities await you from the moment you arrive in a traditional long tail boat.

Here, you will be trained to drive and trek an elephant through Thailand's tropical jungles, hike on mysterious mountain trails, venture on a river excursion down the mighty Mekong or discover local cultures. On the Camp grounds, pathways along the hillside lead you to secluded accommodations nestled in the midst of a magical natural forest environment. A suspension bridge 18 metres (60 feet) above the San Valley connects two ridges, offering an alternative to the winding trail in the verdant valley below.
