Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle
Chiang Mai
OVERVIEW
Hidden away in the Golden Triangle region where Thailand borders Burma and Laos you’ll find the ancient Chiang Rai province and the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. Tucked amid the bamboo jungle, this luxurious camp is perched on the land of some of Thailand’s oldest civilizations.
A stay at the Tented Camp makes you feel as if you are living in times gone by as you trek through lush jungle, explore mountain trails and interact with majestic elephants before retiring to your tented accommodation for a well-deserved rest.
Today’s tents are a touch more comfortable, however, and come complete with a hot tub, outdoor showers and hand-hammered copper bathtubs. If there’s any place to unleash your inner explorer, it’s here at the Tented Camp.
