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.

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 is an event at the Camp, too. It may be a barbecue under the stars, a five-course formal meal or a dinner by campfire at Elephant Camp.

For your excursions, picnic baskets are prepared from a choice of items and served in Four Seasons style complete with folding camp table, stools and linen napkins.

Nong Yao Restaurant
An open-air thatched-roof pavilion by the riverbank, with rustic hardwood floors, Nong Yao Restaurant offers Thai, Laotian, Burmese and western cuisine. In keeping with the Camp's atmosphere, guests have the option to dine together at a long family-style table, seated in suede chairs, or privately, at separate tables. A bar area, complete with a double-sided fireplace in the middle, is perfect for pre-dinner drinks.

Around an open firepit adjacent to the restaurant, guests can enjoy a drink and relax. Hurricane lamps dot the public areas, lending a rustic effect.

At breakfast and lunch, tables are decorated with local hill-tribe artefacts. Local stoneware and silver cutlery are used for serving. Dinner is served in Four Seasons style: white linen and simple but elegant porcelain and glassware make it an event. Seats 36, plus 15 in the bar area.

Specialties
Thai, Laotian, Burmese and western delights

Burma Bar
An open-air thatched-roof lounge within sight of Elephant Camp and overlooking the Ruak River and Burma, Burma Bar enjoys perfect views of the sunset. The Bar is decorated with trekking and navigation equipment – maps, books, tribal antiques and tripod-mounted binoculars, where guests can read a book while curled up in one of the overstuffed leather couches. Its home-like, informal atmosphere makes it the spot for a quiet, contemplative moment in which to enjoy the tranquility of the environment.

Specialties
Local delicacies and drinks are available from lunch onwards. Barbecue buffet lunches and dinners as well as afternoon tea may be served here, depending on the schedule of activities.

Wine Cellar
Four Seasons Tented Camp's interpretation of a wine cellar is a local-style thatched-roof building. It goes beyond storing an impressive collection of international and Thai wines. The rustic-looking structure serves as a wine-tasting room as well as a venue for romantic dinners or private parties (seats a maximum of six). In true Four Seasons style, guests are waited on by a server wearing white gloves.

Specialties
Wine tastings; fees may apply. Private functions can be specially arranged; fees apply.

Elephant Camp
With torches for lighting and glimpses of elephant silhouettes nearby, guests are served a five-course formal dinner at tables arranged in a semi-circle around the campfire. Traditional Lao, Burmese and Thai dancers entertain while guests dine. After-dinner drinks and stargazing follow.

Specialties
Formal dinner of regional Thai, Laotian and Burmese cuisines. Private parties or romantic dinners can also be specially arranged; fees apply.

Sundowners
In true camp tradition, all activities recess to savour the magnificent sunset of another day in the Golden Triangle. Guests gather at the Wine Cellar or Burma Bar to spend the next 30 minutes sipping a casual drink and relaxing, while the sky turn golden. Beverages of choice are served, accompanied by local and western snacks.

Specialties
Beverages, accompanied by local and western snacks. Specially ordered canapés and pre-selected beverages are available; fees apply.

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 the cultures of hill tribes. 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.

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 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.
