Four Seasons Tented Camp

On your deck in the early light, you open the spout on a rainwater shower. Monks chant at a nearby monastery, geckos trill in the trees, and the sun rises over Burma. It's morning at Four Seasons Tented Camp, in the far north of Thailand, where the Ruak and Mekong rivers meet. The mysteries of the Golden Triangle beckon.

Four Seasons Tented Camp contains just 15 tents, spaced for maximum privacy and each with handcrafted furniture, mosquito nets, and a hand-hammered copper bathtub. All-inclusive three- or four-night adventures cover every detail, from elephant training to excursions into the steamy rainforest.

The Burma Bar is the place to swap travel stories over a pre-dinner drink. For quieter recreations, the open-air spa rests a short distance up the Ruak valley. But be forewarned: they play no music there. You'll have to make do with birdsong, geckos, and the waft of jungle air.

Four Seasons Tented Camp is part of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts and Minor Hotels Resorts Spas
