Up in Chiang Rai’s hill country, just on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, Tantawan Tented Camp offers a unique approach to luxury tourism, one rooted in a love for nature and a deep sense of compassion for others. This unique luxury property takes the concept of glamping and gives it a refined sensibility punctuated with cultural and aesthetic nuances that are distinctively Thai. At the same time, the camp prides itself on being a part of Dusit International’s Tree of Life programme, which highlights sustainability as one of the pillars of Dusit Graciousness.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this amazing tent camp, this amazing hotel in such a beautiful, natural, and serene environment. For us, this is an opportunity to be a part of a hotel that will be offering high-end eco-friendly accommodations with great service that will pamper you while you’re here. We want to make your vacations really wonderful; we at Dusit are very good at doing that.”

The Art of Rustic Luxury

Accommodations at Tantawan Tented Camp come in the form of ten safari-style tents ranging from two-bedroom spaces for families or groups of friends to a romantic suite perfect for couples seeking adventure.

Each tent is characterized by Dusit Graciousness incorporating Thai-inspired decor, exceptional comfort rivaling luxurious hotels, and amenities of the highest quality.

The camp’s facilities include a scenic pool area framed by tall palms and splendid mountain views, alongside an open-air amphitheatre for movie nights under the stars or communal fireside gatherings.

For cultural immersion, the camp offers private “Forest and Field” picnics with artisanal treats, visits to local hill tribes, and excursions to a nearby elephant sanctuary to meet conservation specialists.

“There are lots you can do here. I think two, even three days would just go by without you knowing it; hopefully, you stay a bit longer and see more of the charms of Northern Thailand.”

Where Compassion Matters

The magic of Tantawan Tented Camp lies not only in its stunning surroundings but also in its commitment to giving back to the community and environment. Designed as a living showcase of the Dusit Tree of Life, the camp actively promotes responsible tourism benefiting the local community, especially girls from tribes exposed to the risks of human trafficking.

Through its partnership with the Sunflower Organic Farm, run by Friends of Thai Daughters, the camp provides education, shelter, and emotional support to these girls, while also offering training programs and internships at Tantawan Tented Camp and other Dusit properties.

“We want to be actively against human trafficking, so we are supporting and offering equal employment to the people in the community. We provide opportunities for development and learning.”

Luxury Gets Organic

Tantawan Tented Camp’s ethos also emphasizes eco-dynamic principles by ensuring sustainable farming practices and conserving local wildlife.

“We are very committed to what Dusit is doing under the Tree of Life programme at Tantawan.”
