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!!

The closeness to the elephants, the immersion in wildlife, the excellent food, the amazing attention of the staff, it's an unforgettable experience.

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 hotel / camp is very good indeed. The staff are excellent, especially the guides who really make it. Everyone knows you by name. The “tents” are very well appointed with great views. Not nearly as much wildlife (eg birds) as I would hope or you would experience in eg Africa but nonetheless quite stunning. Elephants come to breakfast and are fed next to the restaurant. The Elephant and I experience is incredible as you get right next to the elephants and was the highlight. A real privilege. The camp is actually quite spread out, taking eg 10 minutes to walk between the reception / restaurant to the bar at the other end. There are quite a few steps along the way. But if you are fit and able, no issues. The bar at the end is very well positioned over the river. Great cocktails. The food is excellent; generally I find Four Seasons does not hit the mark but here they do. Dinner is a choice between a Thai or Western menu and you can mix and match courses. Great service. And all inclusive. It is super expensive, especially relative to what you would get for a top African safari lodge. I really struggle to justify how much I paid. However, they are supporting a foundation looking after elephants that had previously tough lives and they employ a lot of people at the camp supporting the local community. If you can get your mind around the expense, definitely go. A great experience.

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.

This was the highlight of our trip to Thailand. The camp is amazing and the opportunity to interact with the elephants was incredible. The staff could not have been better or more thoughtful, especially Poy, who went out of her way to make our stay special and attended to details before we even knew that we needed or wanted them addressed. Also, the food was excellent!
