Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle

Print
Chiang Rai , Thailand
(800) 332-3442

COST: $$$$$

“They provide an experience that you could miss in an ordinary concrete box,” says designer Bill Bensley of the tents at the Four Seasons Tented Camp, in Thailand's Golden Triangle. “Guests can hear the sound of elephants munching their way through the jungle. It's escapism to the nth degree.” That sentiment is evident in Bensley's design for the resort. He drew inspiration from northern Thailand's hill-tribe villages as well as camps he visited in Botswana, and he filled the 15 tents with metal craftwork from local artisans, along with explorer-themed antiques (an old compass, rifles, primitive fishing tools).
