Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle – a one-of-a-kind adventure for the spirit

Your kids – they want Disney Land, and hey maybe you do as well. Something incredible about reliving your childhood.
Tented Camps at Four Seasons Golden Triangle are kinda like re-living your childhood mixed in with a bit of Indiana Jones. Basically the child, the adventurer, the romantic, the philosopher, the boss in you gets to GET OUT and play here. And guys, before I continue I will say that this experience is 100% beyond and above- and it is only possible because of the incredible details, structures and itineraries Four Seasons provides for guests lucky enough to nook this in advance.
KEY DETAILS
We must note that this particular hotel is arranged as a ‘resort’ style experience. You pay for nothing and never see a bill during your stay. The five star ala’carte everything is is absolutely free. When I say five star; dinner is fully arranged, so is breakfast, and you can order off a vast menu and have your food (as many portions and courses as you would like) prepared by a top chef and delivered to our room or eaten at the restaurant.
Liquor is also top shelf, and there is a special wine cellar where you can go and taste wines and whiskeys and enjoy cheese anytime you ask. Other bars are scattered throughout the property and as you browse the paths along the trees you will discover small bars with full service five star drinks and snacks and ambiance.

Look no further for romance and adventure,
You can look out and see Myanmar across the river,
you can hear elephants below bathing in the river, birds singing above. You can smell incense burning in the distance from the Wats in the nearby towns.
Wake up with Elephants,
When I made it clear to the staff that elephants were a gigantic part of this trip for me (more then massages and villages – although we got that too), they told us that we could wake up extra early and help the staff wash them – needless to say it was the best experience.
The staff is that accommodating. Plus there is a small amount of people that stay at these camps at once, so you are fully taken care of.
ACCOMODATIONS
done the way it should be,
The rooms are spacious, luxurious and adventurous. Yes, you feel like you are sleeping in a tent – a luxury tent with the highest level of service and amenities.
Situated in the trees, it is as romantic as it is inspiring.
ADVENTURE
You can (and should) pack a ton of Indiana Jones type of adventure in just the four days you will stay here.
We came here for the elephants, and we spent a ton of incredible time with them, but I didn’t even realize how much more ether was to do!
We took an incredible, fast speed boat along the Golden Triangle with a knowledgable guide. We had an opportunity to cross the boarder into Myanmar (which was a unique and amazing experience), We also toured local ruins, temples and markets.
