Canvas roof? Check. And that's where the similarities between this tent and its traditional counterparts end. There's a king-sized bed, a hand-hammered copper bathtub and an outdoor shower.

One of the world's most beautiful open-air spas. Most packages include a 90-minute treatment. We recommend waiting till after your mahout training -- straddling elephants is hard on the muscles.

The camp has three 1970s Land Rover Defenders that bump along the road beneath the tents. They're a welcome sight after you've enjoyed one too many tum yum martinis in the Burma Bar and need to get to the restaurant -- at the other end of the camp.
