| A Warning Must start this post with a caveat that I am far from the usual guest of the Four Seasons Tented Camp in The Golden Triangle. It is really aimed at treking/ outdoor people with a large budget. It is, therefore, even more astonishing that I had a dream stay. A Dramatic Arrival You arrive by fast boat and I was thrilled to be feeding elephants before I knew what was happening. My Blessing Bracelet There was a blessings ceremony with Four Seasons staff when I first arrived and I arranged for a second ceremony, with a Buddhist monk, later in my stay. I am still wearing the threads from all this and it is a memento that makes me feel very proud. Breakfast With Rescued Elephants It was enchanting to feed elephants at breakfast each morning. Watching the calfs scratch themselves again trees is an image I will never forget. Sunset Cocktails With Camp Manager Poy There were sunset cocktails with Camp Manager Poy in a private area with views of Myanmar & Laos. Loved talking to her about Tokyo etc Restaurant & Bar Director Filippo & Sticky Rice With Black Truffles I had high expectations of the food & drink at The Tented Camp and the food on the second & third evening was legendary. Wonder if I will ever eat sticky rice with black truffles again. Restaurant & Bar Director Filippo, like Camp Manager Poy, helped to make my stay a true dream. Mr Sharp's 'Golden Rule' is very much alive and well at The Tented Camp. A Royal Tree Planted In My Honour Still find it unbelievable we planted a tree, associated with the Thai Royal Family, in my honour that I will be emailed updates about, The Four Seasons Tented Camp in The Golden Triangle rates a '7 teddies' (🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻) score. A Four Seasons Resort where food, drink, massages etc are included might have rated '8 teddies' but the cumbersome double zips in my 'tent' mean '8 teddies' score cannot be awarded. Tip: if you have difficulties with anything, say something (eg I did not want to leave by boat & so a car was arranged). |     |
