<p><strong>The Dining Experience</strong></p>
<p>Dining at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle is an integral part of the Camp&#8217;s activities. It promises to be an experience you will remember long after your adventure with us.</p>
<p>As a small, close-knit community, guests share their dining experiences in locations that may vary from day to day. Breakfast is served at Nong Yao, our main restaurant. Lunch may be a picnic in the jungle. After late-afternoon activities, catch a sundowner ? 30 minutes of snacks and refreshments while you watch the sky turn golden. Dinner may be an event at the Camp, too. It may be a private barbecue under the stars, a five-course formal meal or a dinner by campfire at Elephant Camp.</p>
<p>For your excursions, picnic baskets can be prepared from a choice of items and served in Four Seasons style complete with folding camp table, stools and linen napkins. (Fees apply to dinner and picnic baskets.)</p>
<p><strong>Pool</strong></p>
<p>The free-form pool and connected whirlpool provide guests with a relaxing break between other activities. Located on a higher level and landscaped with local granite boulders and teak logs, the pools overlook the Ruak River. Snacks and beverages are served poolside from sunrise to sunset.</p>
<p><strong>The Camp experience</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve yearned for adventure, and have wanted to discover the mysteries of the Golden Triangle. In an all-inclusive three-or four-night adventure designed for active adults at the Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, unique activities await you from the moment you arrive in a traditional long tail boat.</p>
<p>Here, you will be trained to drive and trek an elephant through Thailand&#8217;s tropical jungles, hike on mysterious mountain trails, venture on a river excursion down the mighty Mekong or discover local cultures. On the Camp grounds, pathways along the hillside lead you to secluded accommodations nestled in the midst of a magical natural forest environment. A suspension bridge 18 metres (60 feet) above the San Valley connects two ridges, offering an alternative to the winding trail in the verdant valley below.</p>
<p><strong>Directions<br />
Transportation</strong></p>
<p><strong>By air</strong><br />
Chiang Rai a 75-minute flight from Bangkok. Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI) is located 8 kilometres (5 miles) from downtown Chiang Rai, about 65 kilometres (40 miles) south of the Tented Camp. The airport is serviced by Thai Airways, Orient Thai Airlines, AirAsia and Siam General Aviation (SGA).</p>
<p><strong>By road from Chiang Mai</strong><br />
The four-hour journey between Chiang Mai and the Tented Camp is one of the most scenic drives in Thailand, passing dozens of hill-tribe villages. Some villages are small and far from the main road, others have paved streets and electricity, but all are unique and well worth the visit. Your Camp Host will be pleased to arrange transportation on request.</p>
