Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle

We have stayed in many adventure lodges in the past and so were very excited to try out this spot. We loved it. The interactions with the elephants in the sanctuary are truly unique and such a highlight. Also, the staff is superb. I love that the Four Seasons higher mostly locals. Their warmth and hospitality shine through! Everyone on staff makes you feel right at home! a few highlights, Poy, the GM, was such a sweet joy. I had read many positive comments about her and they are spot on. Filipo is a new addition to the tea,-he runs food and beverage and it shows! Every morsel we put in our mouth was delicious!! We also love a good cocktail and found in Asia many restaurants don't offer cocktails, so their creativity was a great surprise! Our guide, Norman, was such a delight, we miss his giggle. Ralph was so attentive and cheerful! And the CHEF!!! she is amazing!!! Everyone was great, sorry, I don't remember everyone's names! We were lucky enough to get to experience both one of the luxurious tents and also the lodge. I was so torn about which to book, we had booked the tents (we are a family of 5) and so upon arrival, I asked the manager if the lodge was available at all during our 4 night stay-it was for two nights, so we got to experience both. They were kind enough to move our things. While the tents are amazing, the private pool and hang space of the lodge were perfect for our family. The chef came one night and grilled us dinner and they set up a movie projector and we watched a movie under the stars! We stayed 4 nights so we took advantage of all the resort had to offer. Spa, elephant dinner, bathing the elephants, breakfast with the elephants, hike, in-town excursion, fishing, Burma Bar, cooking class, wine tasting, the common pool, many wonderful meals, etc. All were great. The only thing I may skip would be the fishing. The highlights were elephant bathing, cooking class and the elephant dinner. We also really enjoyed learning about the elephants and how they got to the sanctuary and how the Mohuts spend their lives caring for them. The quality of everything here is beyond 5 stars. If you love an adventure and love elephants, this place is a DO NOT MISS!!

So we recently just experienced a trip of a lifetime in late November 2024, and a part of our amazing trip was at the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle. If you are looking for a completely different experience. Get off the Grid a bit. Then head to the Four Seasons Tented Camp in Thailand. I cannot speak any higher of this place! It was exception! It blew away our expectations. The staff was amazing! They really have created a culture here that truly is 'customer focused'. And they are all just really nice people. And it really starts at the top with their management. I do apologize. But I will probably be forgetting some names. But the people that really made it special for us were 'Poy' (Paweena...and we did connect up with Marie in the Maldives...and OMG...she's amazing) and we so enjoyed our conversations about diving with you, 'One' also knows as Ajit, the the associate manager. We saw him daily. Checking in with us to see how we were doing. It was so great to have you connecting with us to find out how our trip was going. Filippo (director of restaurant and bar...and btw...we still need to try your drink recipes...and these are amazing cocktails you will want to take home with you.) 'Rain'...your elephant and I leader. He knows so much about the elephants and their care. We found it very educational. Tom. He lead our excursions to Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle experience. We felt so comfortable asking him questions. Very approachable. And we cannot forget Nee. She lead our wine/cheese night and just amazing person...smile that is non stop. She also serves during lunch and dinner (she will not let your wine glass go unfilled. lol) Food: The food was exceptional!! Kudos to the chef...Sirintip! I wished we had a few more opportunities to experience your food. Every meal was incredible! And if you go to dinner 'not that hungry'. Feel free to ask for a 1/2 portion. All the food we had was amazing....and of course the Northern Thai food. OMG. Massage: I have to say. This was the first ever professional massage I have experienced. I thought it was amazing. I'm glad that they asked ahead of time if you would like a mild/moderate/hard Thai massage. My husband and I chose the moderate massage. And it was exceptional! People/Customer focus: Well. I think the beginning of my review states it all. Accommodations: Exceptional. For sleeping in a Tent. It was an amazingly comfortable bed. Great shower. I wished we could have enjoyed our room a bit more. But we arrived late the first night, and left early our last day, so our activities were compressed to 2 full days. But we are good with that. Breakfast/Elephants: Every morning. The elephants came to have breakfast with us. And you get an opportunity to feed the elephants bananas/cucumbers/coconuts. It's AWESOME! It's an unbelievable experience. And of course the food is incredible.

We could not have enjoyed our time at the Camp more! Going into the trip, we had an idea of what it might be like but the stay far exceeded our expectations. The location is bar none, the elephants are magnificent, and the entire team is outstanding! The attention to detail that we witnessed at the Camp was extraordinary; everything ran so smoothly! We were in complete and utter awe of the impeccable communication within the entire team... somehow all of the staff members knew exactly what our schedule looked like for the day and not just that, even when we made spontaneous decisions, somehow someone was already waiting for us! The food was absolutely delectable during all meals! As far as the tents go, it was like going back in time, it all made you feel like an early explorer, the only difference being that these tents were in the lap of luxury and impeccably clean! I cannot recommend this resort enough, it is an absolutely unique experience unlike any other that you will never forget! The Camp Manager Paweena is by far the best hotel manager we have ever encountered… when you are in her care you will feel like you are truly in paradise!

The experience is really unique from the start to end. You arrive with boat and have breakfast/dinner with elephants and learn about the local culture. The hotel itself is designed differently for all room and each room represents local culture of Chiang Rai. The staffs are very attentive and food is best I have had in any hotels! Highly highly recommend.

This is truly a tremendous place. The service was absolutely outstanding. literally every person working there did an excellent job taking care of every possible need. The nature experience, the location, the views, the time with the elephants was really special and unique. The "tents" are so comfortable, large, well maintained and terrific views. The Burma Bar is really a must for sunsets. We did a couple of experiences and both were perfect. Really, can't say enough good things.....

We had the most wonderful experience. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff seemed to genuinely care. Interacting with the elephants has been a highlight of our trip, particularly the level of bond between them and their mahouts. Thanks to the team for their special dinner that they arranged for our anniversary. We cannot recommend the resort highly enough.
