Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle

Visitors who want to ensure that the least amount of their money goes to the government can stick with budget family-run guesthouses and minihotels. Those who want their stay to benefit the most people may prefer midrange and top-end hotels, which can employ staff of 100 or more and often fund community projects. If you want to stay at a particular hotel or guesthouse, advance bookings are advised for the busiest holiday season in December and January.
