5 Amazing glamping adventures in Golden Triangle, Thailand

An almost untouched region in northern Thailand, Golden Triangle is an extraordinary place where you will have a rare chance to visit three countries—Thailand, Myanmar and Laos—in one place. From exploring the local villages on a bicycle to fishing with the locals and enjoying local cuisine by the river, unforgettable glamping adventures await in northern Thailand.

Renowned for its lush bamboo jungles, adventurous trails and an away-from-it-all experience, the Golden Triangle brings together cultures and showcases the diversity of not just Thailand, but also its neighbors—Myanmar and Laos. With just a gurgling Ruak River separating the borders, guests who glamp at the exclusive hillside accommodation at Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle have the ideal vantage point to explore the fascinating glamping adventures put together by the Camp’s team of experts.

“With our all-inclusive two, three and four-night adventure packages, we give guests an opportunity to truly immerse in the local culture,” shares Tobias Emmer, Camp Manager.

These new experiences are a mix of adventure, cultural exploration and relaxation, tailormade for your style of travel. Stay a little longer and experience more.

1. Fishing with the locals

Fishing techniques along the Mekong River have developed over thousands of years. This excursion allows you to try firsthand fish trapping and bamboo fishing with local fishermen from the region, while skimming over Ruak River in a longtail boat.

This adventure offers a unique insight into the local way of life.

2. Hillside bicycle tour 

“The serenity of the local villages in the Golden Triangle is second to none, especially Chiang Saen where the Camp is located,” shares Tobias.

Ideal for cycling enthusiasts, this guided tour follows a paved but hilly trail that includes a few challenging slopes. The route takes you through lush green paddy fields, pineapple and rubber plantations, and a teak forest.

“Look for the local farmers as they go about their daily routines, and for some stunning views of the mountains beyond. Take a breather at Bua Luang Lake before heading back to the Camp,” he adds. 

3. Picnic by the river

Enjoy a picnic-style feast deep in the bamboo jungle, by the river, or even in the wooded gardens.

“Our Camp Chef Pisan Torphet can pack a delicious selection of Thai or Western snacks to enjoy as you soak in the calm along Ruak River,” he recommends.

4. Jungle cocktails and riverside dinner

In a discreet setting by the river, you can savor camp-style cocktails and a BBQ dinner for a stunning evening outdoors with your loved ones.

Riding out to the “Jungle Peninsula” in the Camp’s fully restored Land Rover, the setting sun makes a spectacular retreat across the Ruak River and into Myanmar, adding the perfect mood for the evening.
