Villa Song Saigon: "Beautiful colonial boutique hotel"

Review by: Nancy C | Source: Trip Advisor
Stayed here for business and then my husband joined. In district 2 away from the hub bub but still close to everything. Walking distance to great food and a short ride to the center. The hotel is on the river and you will start your day with a lovely made to order breakfast outside with a view. The hotel anticipates your every need and is beautiful inside and out. Would definitely stay again.

i loved the place. i can remember thinking while we were out touring that i could not wait to get back to the resort and take one of their outdoor showers. Southern lao is beautiful but a bit dusty. i would definitely go back.

Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "A master at work"

Review by: Nick_Chill | Source: Trip Advisor
Chef Black is a true culinary master. His passion for food - from making his own soy sauces and spirits, to hand crafting seperate meals for all customers, is astonishing. Come visit this young virtuoso before the world comes knocking. Make sure to book in advance, and remember this is a small venue which would fit a max of 12 guests

Slow Villas and Spa: "Absolutely wonderful stay"

Review by: Lizzie H | Source: Trip Advisor
The minute I walked in, I felt relaxed. It was quiet and peaceful. The villa was well equipped - I did like the outside bathroom too! Room was very comfortable and it was good that water was provided for drinking. Breakfast was good, and a great start to the day sat by our pool. We enjoyed our massage in the new spa too. It was easy to get around the island with the bikes provided. Staff were super helpful over booking our transfer back to Bali too. Loved the private pool and sun loungers - felt so relaxed by the end of our stay! I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you!

Villa Song: "A very special place!"

Review by: DublinGommer | Source: Trip Advisor
"As many have said, Villa Song is a bubble of peace and tranquility in a chaotic and noisy city. I would thoroughly recommend it. The boat is a great way to get to the city. The room (Art Suite) was beautiful, with river views. If I was to be critical about one thing, it would be the restaurant menu. The kids menu was excellent, however the regular menu we found a bit strange. It was fusion-ish! Strange combinations. It all tasted pretty good mind you, but I would prefer to see more true Vietnamese on there. Personal taste perhaps. A real gem. We will be back for sure! Gareth."

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

Review by: AnthonyKang | Source: Trip Advisor
"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."

Rachamankha: "Wonderful honeymoon"

Review by: catling88 | Source: Trip Advisor
"My husband and I spent a wonderful four days at the Rachamankha hotel during our time in Chiang Mai. The hotel feels like a quiet oasis and is beautifully decorated. The staff is incredible responsive and helped us get tuktuks and navigate the city. The breakfast was amazing (crepe and French toast) and we also had dinner there which was very good. The rooms are kept well air conditioned which was much appreciated during the heat we experienced."

Chakrabongse Villas: "A gourmet REAL THAI meal"

Review by: Ken D | Source: tripadvisor.com
This traditional Thai décor restaurant near Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) on the Chao Phraya River has both indoor, air-conditioned, tables and, if the weather cooperates, outdoor tables. Reservations are a must, online if you like, as this pricey, high-end traditional Thai food service only serves 30 diners a night ! The menu is fixed, it's pricey by Thai standards but not foreign standards and it is well worth a special visit, romantic or best friends. Not suitable for young kids: no place to romp, lengthy multiple course service. The menu changes daily depending on what the chef can find, and you'll only be able to modestly substitute for allergies or strong dislikes. For those looking for exquisitely prepared Thai cuisine in a set menu, multiple course, fixed price dining experience you should not miss this wonderful food!
