Supanniga Eating Room: "1 of the best Thai food"

"I have been living in Thailand for the past 12 years. And this place is really 1 of the best place to have traditional Thai food. The food portions are just nice. EVERYTHING is delicious! Do not hesitate to go try this place. No regrets! 1 thing though: it is not cheap. But in my opinion it is really worth a try! Thank me later."

The River Resort: "Fabulous location – charming hotel"

Great location, right on the side of the Mekong with two inifnity pools. Charming staff, lovely well-appointed rooms, not really much more to say. REstaurant probably a little pricey, but not unreasonably so for a western class resort..

Nimmu House: "Nimmu the hidden gem of Leh"

"I arrived in Leh with family travelling from Delhi, Nimmu house is a charming heritage boutique hotel approx 45mins from town and airport, surrounded with apricot & apple trees in a picturesque setting. On arrival the reception greeted us as family, very friendly and caring of our well being in acclimatising to the mountains.The air was fresh, water clean the beds very comfortable. Wifi is free, as to be expected in Ladakh it does not always work. I found it to be a great escape after being in Delhi, the first thing i noticed apart from the great beauty of the mountains was the fresh air and friendliness of the locals. I have also to mention the chef who is outstanding the waiter attentive and caring, the courtyard relaxing with comfortable seating and hammocks I really can not fault Nimmu and hope to return."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "residing in a museum"

Perfect place to stay for a few nights, very central to the downtown heritage streets and close to the beach front as well. Service is very attentive and the rooms have all the comfort you need on top of the stylish ambiance and grandeur of a historical mansion.

Muang La Lodge: "Improbable et parfait"

"Trouver un endroit aussi beau et avec une restauration aussi étonnante, dans cette ville, c'était assez improbable. Et pourtant.... L'accueil du manager Raphaël est très chaleureux, le staff est là pour vous donner plus que ce que pouviez espérer. On est très vite bien, même très bien dans ce petit coin de paradis. Mais rien est dit tant qu'on est pas passé à table. Là aussi, on peut se lâcher sur le superlatifs. OK, on le sait, au Laos on mange très bien. Mais là, c'est encore un ton au dessus. On ne peut dire que Bravo, au site, au staff, au restaurant, et à Raphaël qui font que, grâce à eux, au moment du départ on espère très vite y revenir. Une dernière pensée pour Raphaël et le village de Beaufort (France) qui fait partie de nos plus beaux souvenirs d'enfance."

Villa Song Saigon: "Elegance and class in a beautiful setting "

What a gorgeous hotel, dark wood floors, marble, elegant art work and that view....all make for one very chic launch pad from which to see Ho Chi Minh. We only had one night here but we will be back. The breakfast was lovely, the transfer was super luxurious and the bed was heavenly. Come here, chill out and watch the saigon river roll past with a cocktail... You won't regret it

The Village House: "Relaxing romantic retreat"

"My boyfriend and I drove down to this getaway after an afternoons walk around Bako park. We found this place through agoda and thought we should give it a shot. Fair warning, the place is very hidden and it does not look like much from the outside. There is no sign at the gate, but since it was google-able, we called the hotel straightaway to get clarifications on the place. Sure enough we found the place! When we arrived, we thought maybe we would be the only ones there, because of how isolated it was... but come dinner time, a few other couples came out of their rooms.. dinner was delicious The staff was polite and kind. However I must commend the service and kindness they gave. We checked out and left for kuching city and had forgotten my shoes behind. One of the staff offered to bring them to town as he was going to the main office. I was sooo thankful for that! Was pretty bummed in the car thinking we had to drive 50mins up to Santubong again and back down to town again. So, thank you very much for bringing my shoes to me! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"

INLE PRINCESS RESORT: "Amazing Inle Lake"

"This hotel was pretty special, we had a chalet style room with a verandah overlooking the lake with sun loungers, chairs and table. The room was excellent and the bathroom had ""his & her"" wash basins, a bath and an outside shower. There was a good restaurant, bar and swimming pool and we arrived by boat being rowed by the distinctive local leg rowing method. Wifi only obtainable in reception and restaurant/bar areas "

The Cabochon Hotel: "A Special Spot in Bangkok"

"I hope as my first post that a rather gushing review does not come off as unauthentic. I'd be happy for anyone to message me with questions as I really do think the Cabochon is a special place with kind and attentive staff. My wife and I arranged a 50th birthday weekend for a friend and chose the Cabochon as both our hotel and the restaurant for the birthday dinner. We had 9 rooms at the hotel, with 18 adults and 4 children joining. We first discovered the hotel a few years back when some friends living close by in Bangkok took us to dinner at the hotel restaurant, Thai Lao Yeh. Late last year (2015) we went back for dinner on our own and were so impressed we asked to tour some rooms with the intention of possibly selecting this as the venue for the 50th birthday weekend trip. Once the staff showed us a selection of rooms we were hooked. In hindsight I made many mistakes in coordinating such a large group. Rin, who had coincidentally been our waiter on our second Thai Lao Yeh dinner, wound up being our primary contact. Honestly I did not make it easy for Rin, yet he was able to handle request after request and never once let us down. In the end the weekend went perfectly, and everyone in our party commented how much they loved the hotel and restaurant. Let me give some targeted commentary that I hope others will find useful. Restaurant - See my (future) Thai Lao Yeh review. Atmosphere - Historic luxury, so you would think... You absolutely won't believe the hotel was relatively recently built from the ground up. The owner, architect, and builders have done an amazing job not only decorating the entire hotel with vintage pieces, but the actual structure itself (walls, door frames, etc) has been made to look aged. Multiple people in our party commented on this. It has to be seen to be believed. Staff - I have stayed at multiple top tier properties in Sukhumvit and wider Bangkok. The service was 5 star quality, with boutique friendliness. Rin was really a standout for us, but all staff were great. Rooms - The vintage look and feel does not result in any compromises on practicality. The bed was comfortable, as was the lounge furniture in our large balcony suite. The bathroom was spacious, well equipped, and worked as expected. Ground Floor Lounges - Do yourself a favor and have a drink in the lounge. Calling it a ""lounge"" may give the wrong impression. There are actually multiple sitting rooms. Choose your spot, sit back, relax, and soak in the vibe. Breakfast - If you're used to a large hotel's buffet your first impression might be negative, but the selection of fruits, breads, and a main never became boring over the 4 meals we enjoyed on this visit. Pool - It does not compare to the resort luxury of the SGS, but let's be honest the Cabochon just doesn't have the space or army of staff to compete in this area. The pool was practical, well maintained, and proved to be a nice place to hang out with friends and cool down. I can imagine during the hotter summer months it could be a bit too hot to spend extended hours poolside, so if this is your thing then look for another hotel. Location - This is the only area I have not given them 5 points. They are a little further away from both shopping and transportation than some of the hotels centered around Asok or Nana on the Sky Train. You will need to walk 7 minutes to get to Phrom Phong for the closest mall and concentration of shops and restaurants. That said, the peace and quiet of being setback about 200 meters from the street noise of Sukhumvit should be appealing to some. Without a doubt the Cabochon is now my go to Bangkok hotel. The cost performance is top class, the hotel restaurant is honestly one of the best restaurants (if not the best) in all of Bangkok, and the staff are extremely helpful. You can't go wrong if all of my commentary above resonates with you -- really. "
