The tented camp delivers adventure without sacrificing Four Seasons service standards. Morning elephant walks and afternoon spa treatments make this a bucket-list property.

Getting here requires a flight to Chiang Rai followed by a 90-minute boat transfer along the Ruak River — part of the experience, not a drawback. The camp sits where Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos meet, with 15 tented pavilions spaced along the hillside for genuine privacy.

Each tent is a proper room under canvas: king bed, indoor/outdoor shower, and a deck overlooking the river. There is no air conditioning, but ceiling fans and the riverside breeze keep temperatures comfortable November through February. The design blends luxury with the jungle setting without feeling forced.

Twice-daily elephant encounters are included — not riding, but walking alongside rescued elephants through the forest with mahouts who know each animal by name. The spa offers treatments that rival Four Seasons city properties, and the dinner menu rotates between Thai and Western with local ingredients.

Book through Four Seasons Preferred Partner for breakfast inclusion and a property credit, or use points via the Four Seasons loyalty programme if you hold status. Multi-night stays are essential — one night barely covers the transfer time. This is adventure travel with a five-star safety net.
