Good to know

How to get there

Guests typically arrive via Chiang Rai Airport, which is approximately a 75-minute drive from the Four Seasons welcome lounge. From there, a short boat ride along the Ruak River takes you directly to the camp. Private transfers are included, and helicopter transfers can be arranged on request for those seeking a faster, more scenic arrival.

Are children welcome?

Children aged 10 and over are welcome, though the camp is best suited to older children due to its terrain and style of activities. The intimate and adventurous nature of the experience is ideal for families with teenagers.

Giving back

Four Seasons Tented Camp works closely with the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, supporting the care of rescued elephants and promoting ethical wildlife tourism. The camp also focuses on sustainability, including water conservation, plastic reduction and community outreach in surrounding hill tribe villages. Local ingredients and handmade crafts are used throughout, reinforcing a low-impact, community-based approach to luxury travel.

What is nearby?

Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle offers a rare opportunity to explore one of Southeast Asia’s most intriguing border regions. Guests can embark on a longtail boat journey along the Mekong River, passing the point where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar converge—an area rich in history and local folklore. The Hall of Opium, a museum funded by the royal Doi Tung Foundation, is just a few minutes away and offers a powerful, thought-provoking look at the region’s opium trade and its social impact.

A short drive brings you to traditional hill tribe villages, where local communities still practise age-old customs and crafts. Visits can be arranged to nearby elephant sanctuaries, including those with close ties to the Camp’s own rescued herd. For those seeking a deeper cultural encounter, Chiang Rai’s White Temple (Wat Rong Khun)—an extraordinary modern work of Thai art and devotion—is reachable in just under two hours and makes for an unforgettable day trip.

Activities can be booked with us in advance or upon arrival. To secure the best possible guide for your experience we recommend booking these in advance.

Why we love Four Seasons Tented Camp

It’s the hands-off elephant experiences that stay with you. Watching these gentle giants roam in their natural habitat from your tent’s deck, with only the sounds of the jungle around, is something truly rare.
