The luxury Tented Camp is located on a jungle covered hill side facing the Mekong River Valley in the northern-most Golden Triangle region of Thailand, bordering Burma (Myanmar) and Laos.
The location provides an excellent opportunity to interact with the camp’s resident elephants, visit local villages, and take boat trips on the Mekong River which separates Thailand from Burma and Laos.
The camp is conceived around a 19th-century safari-adventure theme, with handcrafted leather furnishings, hardwood floors, mosquito nettings and hurricane lamps.
The 15 air-conditioned tents are generously spread along a half-mile (1km) stretch of land, each with a charming walkway that leads off the main path.
Each tent features an outdoor deck and offers views of the lush valley and the river. Deluxe Tents are the same size as the Superior Tents (54 sq.m) though they are also equipped with wooden hot-tubs on their decks.

Let the 19th-century explorer’s spirit in you come to life in these natural surroundings of northern Thailand, bordering Burma and Laos. Interact with rescued elephants, explore spectacular mountain trails or bamboo jungles and unwind in luxury tents.
Interaction with the resident elephants is the main highlight of the stay at the Tented Camp. Guests wear mahout outfits and learn about elephant bathing and feeding. There are plenty of opportunities to ride the elephants through the jungle. The camp offers helicopter tours of the Golden Triangle region.
The camp has one restaurant where guests can chose to eat together 'safari style' or dine separately and sundowners over a chat about people's adventures of the day are a great tradition here. Dining experiences can change from day to day, there may be a picnic lunch set up on one day or a barbecue under the stars for dinner.
There are numerous excursions on offer that include mahout training with the camp’s own elephants, river trips, hill tribe visits, jungle trekking, nature walks, talks on local history and culture, bird watching, fishing, cooking classes and craft classes.
