# Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle Chiang Rai, Thailand · Mapped: on the map. It has not cleared the selection standard yet, so read it as coverage, not a recommendation. - Page: https://mindreachgetaways.com/th/chiang-rai/wellness-retreat/four-seasons-tented-camp - Book direct: https://www.fourseasons.com/goldentriangle/ - Map pin: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=20.353,100.082 ## Our read The camp is built on the confluence, not pointed at it. Fifteen tents, peak breakfast, and Nong Yao are how the two rivers become the stay. Bill Bensley's thatch is the shelter. ## Come here for - Fifteen tents where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet - Breakfast on the peak, then dinner at Nong Yao - A day with the elephants through the foundation they name ## Skip it if - You want several restaurants and a night scene - Close time with elephants is not how you want to spend the day ## The place Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle stands where the Ruak River meets the Mekong, at the point where Thailand, Myanmar and Laos come together. The camp opened in January 2006. The address they publish is P.O. Box 18, Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai 57150. Ivan Giles is general manager. There are 15 tents and one two-bedroom Explorer's Lodge. Bill Bensley Design did the architecture and the interiors. They describe the tents as a 19th-century expedition: handcrafted furniture, hardwood floors, traditional thatched roofs.
