Four Seasons Resorts Thailand - Transformational Journeys

May, 2023

The tropical allure and gracious hospitality of Thailand and its people are both evocative and entrancing in the "Land of Smiles."

Thailand has reemerged as a global tourism leader in 2023, brimming with renewed zeal and a daring new focus.

"Four Seasons Resorts Thailand provide an unrivalled panorama of Thailand's finest offerings, including cuisine, wellness, and destination exploration," says Sean Mosher, general manager of Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle.

General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, Jasjit Assi, adds, "From a seaside extravagance in Samui to a wellness haven in Chiang Mai to edge-of-the-jungle adventures in the Golden Triangle, the Resorts offer a variety of experiences for families and couples seeking the extraordinary."

Oceanic Scenery and White Sand Beaches

With magnificent cliff-side views overlooking the azure blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui is the ideal island retreat. The Private Retreats collection, with two to five suites, exudes tropical allure. With intuitive service, including a dedicated personal attendant to cater to guests' specific needs, complimentary spa and dining experiences, and a private barbeque at the residence, "The Private Retreats" – Reunite and Reconnect package is ideal for multigenerational travel, providing the finest Resort experiences," says Resort Manager Alessandro Baccarelli. Convenient inclusions such as round-trip airport transfers, daily breakfast, and evening sundowners contribute to an ideal family vacation.

"Couples seeking island romance will find an intimate dining experience on their private deck, as well as a rose petal and candle-lit bath for two," he reveals. On Koh Samui, sunsets are always special, and visitors can pursue the ideal sunset aboard a private vessel, or simply cruise the turquoise waters surrounding Ang Thong Marine National Park.

Assi adds, "a private cinema or beach picnic can be arranged to maximise quality time together."

Wellbeing at a Countryside Idyll

The Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai is located in an enchanting landscape at the foot of Thailand's mountainous Northern region. It is cloaked in luxuriant foliage and adorned with a few Bill Bensley touches. Designed as a tribute to Northern Thailand's illustrious Lanna past, embroidered gardens encircle around terraced rice terraces to highlight Mae Rim valley's inherent natural beauty. Here, opulent Private Residences are nestled within the rice paddies and tropical gardens, with expansive social spaces and private pools. "Guest privileges include a private banquet dinner and spa experiences," says Resort Manager Anthony Tschudin, highlighting the Private Retreats – Reunite and Reconnect offer.Thai cuisine has acquired a reputation as one of the most celebrated cuisines in the world due to its cacophony of textures and distinctive umami flavours. Here in the "cultural capital of Thailand," the chefs at Khao by Four Seasons have mastered traditional techniques to recreate heirloom pan-Thai dishes (recommended by the Michelin Guide 2023). At North by Four Seasons, the emphasis is on farm-to-table fare and the highest quality meats, so visitors can anticipate a superior grill and barbecue experience. Inspired by traditional Lanna teak-houses of the nobility, the Rim Tai Kitchen features a Chef's Table and/or a culinary class where visitors can learn the mysteries of Thai cuisine firsthand. Tschudin adds, "For couples seeking something more intimate, we recommend a moonlit dinner for two at the outdoor sala or a meal at the sensational Orchid Nursery - both unforgettable experiences that have been specially curated for you."

Informed by the spiritual aspects of Eastern medicine and wellness, Wara Cheewa Spa provides intuitive therapies that can be customised to meet particular requirements. "Guests can experience the art of mindful living with special dietary recommendations, healing, and spa programmes for lasting health benefits," says Tschudin.
The old town and Nimmanhaemin Road in Chiang Mai are a shopper's utopia for those seeking to purchase hand-crafted art, textiles, and other items. Tschudin beams as he says, "When you stay with us, our concierge will be happy to organise personal shopping excursions and recommend must-see local attractions."
Chaan Baan is a cultural facility that offers a variety of local arts and crafts experiences, such as clay modelling and tie-dyeing, for those who wish to gain first-hand knowledge of them.

Glamping in Jungle-Cloaked Tented Luxury

Further North and nestled in lush bamboo jungles, Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle presents the perfect off the grid experience for both families and couples. The Explorer’s Lodge can be turned into a private jungle hideout for families who choose to occupy all the accommodation.

“The Explorer’s Lodge is the ultimate expression of glamping with two bedrooms, a private deck, and an infinity pool overlooking the jungle,” shares Macall Newman, Camp Manager. Couples can enjoy a three-night adventure in a Deluxe Tent, highlighted by maximum privacy and an outdoor hot tub.

“In harmony with nature, this is a unique and sensory spa experience with special signature therapies using traditional massage techniques together with the healing properties of mountain herbs and local spices sourced from within the camp,” shares Newman.“With a wealth of natural beauty and creative vision, Thailand by Four Seasons is an easy choice for travellers seeking transformational experiences,” she affirms.
