Chiang Rai , Thailand
Reached by river boat through exotic bamboo jungles, the Golden Triangle Resort offers its own take on inimitable Four Seasons luxury. With just 15 luxurious tents, it is the height of intimate style and a sense of adventure hangs on the tropical air. Each tent is designed as an open space with a large outdoor deck. Furnishings are handcrafted in styles reminiscent of 19th century expecditions, right down to the hand-hammered copper bathtubs. The resort is perfect for active adults seeking once-in-a-lifetime adventure - from elephant mahout training to Golden Triangle excursions. Don't miss the stilt top bar to enjoy a sundowner by the river.
November to March. April is often the hottest month of the year, and also the month of the celebratory 'Songkran' festivals. May to October is the rainy season, with short bursts of rainstorms refreshing the green paddy fields once more.
