safari tents on raised wooden platforms. Each tent has
a private game-viewing deck and ensuite bathroom.
The heart of Nxabega consists of sophisticated
living and dining areas made from local timber and
thatch overlooking the flood plain. You can indulge
in bush picnics in surprise settings, breakfast in bed,
lamplit cocktails on a river island, or a walking safari
with delectable picnic.

Tented Camp, Golden Triangle,
Thailand
Your experience at the Four Seasons Tented Camp,
located near Chang Rai in Thailand, begins on your
trip to the campsite ­ as it is accessible only by
riverboat. Every detail in the 15 luxury tents has
been attended to, right down to the hand-hammered
oversized copper bathtub. Each tent has two massage
beds on its private sundeck, a reminder that you are
well and truly in the midst of Thai luxury. Spend your
days learning to care for the elephants, in cooking
classes, taking riverbank picnics or simply enjoying
the spa treatments on offer. This meticulous planning
and attention to detail extends to mealtimes. During
breakfast and lunch, tables are decorated with local
hill tribe artefacts, with indigenous stoneware used
for serving. Dinner is an elegant affair, with white
linen, silver cutlery and beautifully simple porcelain
and glassware.
