BANGKOK, THAILAND -
Media OutReach Newswire
- 21 August 2025 - Dusit International, one of Thailand's leading hotel
and property development companies, has expanded its sustainable
hospitality vision by taking on the management of
Tantawan Tented Camp,
a refined tented retreat where northern Thai traditions meet a strong
commitment to sustainability, set amidst the scenic mountains of Chiang
Rai.
Located just 40 minutes from Chiang Rai International Airport, this
serene, boutique hideaway features 10 spacious safari-style tents – from
two-bedroom family options to a romantic one-bedroom suite – each with
private bathrooms, handcrafted teak furniture, modern comforts, and
sweeping valley views. Guests can enjoy a curated programme of
meaningful experiences, from trekking and cooking classes to
tree-planting programmes and meditation sessions, all designed to
connect them deeply with the local culture and environment.
Set to become a living showcase of Dusit's group-wide
Tree of Life
programme, which integrates environmental stewardship, community
engagement, and social impact across 31 criteria linked to selected UN
Sustainable Development Goals, Tantawan Tented Camp is uniquely
positioned to promote responsible tourism with measurable benefits for
both local communities and the environment.
A cornerstone of this commitment is the resort's close affiliation with
Sunflower Organic Farm, a residential home for girls run by
Friends of Thai Daughters, a non-profit that provides education, safe
shelter, and emotional support to ethnic minority hill tribe girls at
risk of trafficking. Dusit plans to further support the girls with
training programmes and workshops conducted by institutions under
Dusit Hospitality Education, namely
Dusit Thani College and
The Food School, as well as structured work experience at
Tantawan Tented Camp and other Dusit properties, creating clear pathways
for future careers in hospitality.
Guests are also invited to tour the farm, which supplies the camp with
fresh produce, fragrant herbs, and free-range eggs. At the camp's al
fresco
Reu Doo Gaan restaurant, northern Thai dishes and international
favourites are prepared with these and other locally sourced
ingredients, giving visitors a true taste of the region while supporting
environmentally responsible practices.
"Managing Tantawan Tented Camp gives us a fantastic opportunity to bring
the Tree of Life vision to life beyond our branded properties and
showcase our commitment to having a positive impact wherever we
operate," said
Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International.
"From sourcing food directly from the farm to providing education and
training for girls and young women, this property shows how
sustainability and hospitality can work hand in hand. With work
experience opportunities through our educational arm, we can create
transformative pathways for the next generation while offering guests an
unforgettable and meaningful experience."
Tantawan Tented Camp also offers a variety of facilities to enhance each
stay, including a central swimming pool framed by tall palms and
wildflowers with stunning mountain views, and an outdoor amphitheatre
for movie nights under the stars, complete with a cosy bonfire. Guests
seeking adventure can try archery, visit nearby hill tribes and an
elephant sanctuary, or book a private 'forest and field picnic'
featuring artisanal breads, seasonal salads, gourmet cheeses, and
house-made delicacies. Guests are also welcome to play pickleball at
Sunflower Farm's two covered and lighted courts.
Families will appreciate a variety of creative activities, from pottery and glass painting to '
Tung' making – the creation of colourful banners once used by
Lanna villagers to bless homes, temples, and festivals.
Participants can learn the spiritual meanings behind each design,
symbolising values such as good fortune, protection, and prosperity.
