Meandering through pineapple plantations, expansive rice fields and traditional villages, the limousine parks at the confluence of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand after a 60-minute drive from the Chiang Rai International Airport. The driver chaperones guests to a beautifully-decorated longtail boat, waiting to whisk them away for an adventure of a lifetime. Skimming along the Ruak River, the sights and sounds are truly a world away from the humdrum of city life, leading to an inimitable glamping experience at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. "Our Camp defines privacy, adventure, a connection with nature and wellbeing all at once," smiles the Camp Manager, Paweena Waraha.
Living the Golden Triangle Dream
For Paweena and the team, it is the unique blend of cultural immersion, relaxation, and exploration in a secluded tropical setting that appeals to discerning travellers looking for transformative experiences to begin the year. "The trend of guests seeking secluded, nature-focused getaways and an increased demand for privacy and meaningful travel is satiated at our location," she remarks. The uniqueness of the multi-day adventure packages that includes tailored adventure activities and wellness programs not only provides a hassle-free itinerary, but also a memorable connection with the bamboo-clad campsite. Highlighting this getaway into northern Thailand's wilderness, the safari-style tents with stunning views of the jungle, river and mountains, creates a serene environment for relaxation and exploration. "With just 15 thematic tents and a Two Bedroom Explorer's Lodge, the connection to oneself and nature is more than meaningful," she smiles.
Connection with Nature
Cocooned into a lush tropical jungle alongside the gushing River Ruak, the Camp offers an immediate connection to the tranquillity of the region. The range of culturally-immersive activities gives guests an opportunity to connect with not just the natural surroundings, but also the unique traditions of the Golden Triangle. "Guests can spend time learning traditional crafts that provide a meaningful interaction with local communities." She alludes to collaborative local experiences such as learning to fish or weave with the local community, Bamboo and Rattan Making, and learning the art of preparing Khao Tum Mud - a traditional recipe. "Delight in the Camp's exclusive dining experiences, featuring locally sourced ingredients and unique settings that enhance each meal," she adds. Whether it is sundowner cocktails atop a fully-restored Land Rover or a traditional Kanthok style dinner, there is plenty to pack in a three-night adventure.
Wellness in the Wilderness
The feeling of calm is all pervasive at the Camp, exemplified by the open-air spa that provides the perfect balance of wellbeing and mindfulness. Here, rejuvenating treatments that incorporate the natural elements such as the Ruak bamboo enhance the experience, while the setting itself allows guests to tune back into the rhythm of nature. "We encourage guests to discover hidden trails and breathtaking viewpoints with guided treks through the diverse landscape of the Golden Triangle," explains Paweena, highlighting the range of immersive destination experiences on offer.
"Thailand offers a kaleidoscope of experiences," observes Paweena. "Whether it is the jungle-cloaked intimate Camp in the heart of the Golden Triangle, the lush tropical rice fields of Chiang Mai, or the stunning shores of Koh Samui, there's a transformative journey waiting to be discovered when you choose to explore Thailand by Four Seasons this New Year!"
