CABOCHON: "Excellent. A must stay while in Bangkok"

"This hotel is small yet feels luxurious. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need. The staff were a delight - helpful, informative and friendly. The food at breakfast and at dinner was excellent - delicious, adventurous and beautifully presented. The restaurant and breakfast room are a treasure trove of artefacts. The roof top pool is a wonderful touch with views that give you a very good feel for Bangkok. "

Maison Polanka: "Spoil yourself"

"This place was top notch. It was beautiful and quiet and the rooms were perfect. But what makes it top notch was all of the detail and the way the staff anticipate your needs. For example, we mentioned we might take their free bicycles into town so when we later left our room we noticed they had set out two bikes but also put cold water and a map in the baskets for us. You can book drivers/tuk tuks/guides through the hotel for temple visits and they always sent water and cold towels with the drivers- much appreciated in that heat! The hotel food was the best we had in the city. There are only five rooms so it feels personal but still offers plenty of privacy. The pool is the perfect place to hang out in the hot afternoons (or any time) and the entire compound makes you feel like you are in an oasis. The staff could not have been friendlier or more thorough. This place was worth every penny. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Villa Song Saigon: "Calm oasis"

"This hotel is a calm oasis away from the bustle of the busy city with its thousands of motor cyclists. Friendly helpful staff, a stunning building and a refreshing clean swimming pool, with delicious food (local and international) served in the garden by the river. We liked the tablet computer photos (brought to the table) of the food so we could see before we ordered - a nice touch. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Rachamankha: "Beautiful Boutique Hotel"

"Location is within the square but a little bit out of the main shopping and food areas in the old town of Chiang Mai. However it is only a 10-12 minute walk into the main central food areas and this slight isolation gives the hotel a sense of pure tranquility that is difficult to find in this bustling little city. Another bonus is the hotel is right next to one of our favourite temples (Phra Singh Temple) The property itself is pure class; the courtyard is stunning and there is plenty of places on the property to relax and read a book or take in the amazing architecture, art and culture that is oozing from this gorgeous hotel. The pool is beautiful and again another great place to relax and unwind. The staff are friendly but not over bearing which we found perfect. Sometimes staff can get a little too familiar but not in this case. The restaurant was fabulous and the breakfasts although not large were perfect to set up the day. There were a few things that were not 100% but over all we were very happy with our stay and would certainly go back. The WiFi on the property was not strong and would often drop but luckily we bought a pocket WiFi so wasn't a big issue. Although the staff did spray often there were many mosquito's around but we bought some bug spray at the local 7/11 and used it in the room before we left each evening. Also the rooms were appointed with mosquito nets which was great. There was also a real lack of power points in the room. I would take a power bar with you if you are expecting to charge anything more than a phone...but I guess this place is for relaxing and not for electronics ;)"

Cuisine Wat Damnak: "6 course vegetarian menu for $26 — reserve way in advance"

What a treat for vegetarians to enjoy a set menu at a fine dining establishment. We reserved way in advance and even then could not get the date we wanted (my birthday). Plan ahead. Food and service were excellent.

David’s Kitchen: "Best dining in Thailand! One of a kind"

This was by far one of the best meals we ate in Thailand! The cocktails were exceptional, and the food was delicious! More importantly, David was such an interesting man, and it was an absolute pleasure to meet him and hear his story! You will feel special from the moment you step in the place. THIS IS A MUST!

Mathis Retreat: "A disconnected enclave, perfect for unwinding"

"This is a great place to just relax, slow down and unwind. It is secluded property with a stunning rice field view and an infinity pool. The property can be hard to find, as the resort has undergone a brand change and the boards for the new MATHIS are not updated. So best to have your driver call the hotel for directions. The rooms are clean, extremely spacious and we used 3 persons in a room (with an extra bed charge) and it was still very comfortable for us. All amenities are provided as best, and the quality is excellent. The breakfast is very fresh and dinner options are quite good. The menu can be expensive for the style of resort it is - and there are few options immediately outside. But its not far from the bustling marketplace & the resort runs a ferry pickup and drop every hour during the day, which is very helpful. The wifi is very good. The TV has few channels and is very bad reception. The staff are very helpful, but sometimes find it hard to communicate easily. The property manager is very kind and does well to mingle with guests where possible. I would definitely visit again."

Satri House: "Outstanding hotel"

"Everything was impeccably done, from the service to the decor to the food. The hotel itself is stunning, and every nook and cranny is perfectly curated- it must be an interior designer's dream. Everyone who worked at the hotel, from the front desk staff to the manager, were incredibly gracious and welcoming. Truly one of the most incredible places I've seen, or could even imagine seeing. Stayed March 2017, traveled as a couple"

Tugu Malang: "AMAZING place"

Can't say enough.. this place is heaven on earth... The staff, the food, the rooms, the beds, the mysterious interiour. The restaurant is even open for 24/7. I would recomend everyone to go here. Fantastic

David’s Kitchen: "Exceptional from start to finish."

"I can say without a doubt that Davids Kitchen has been the best dining experience of my life. I had not read the reviews, I only heard of DK from a friends email when Trip advisor nominated his restaurant in the top 10 of the world, therefore I was intrigued as I live in Chiang Mai. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled around the world and eaten in many fine dining restaurants and there has been nothing that comes close to the quality and professional service that we enjoyed at David's Kitchen. The ambience, staff and food was exceptional from booking online until we finished and left very impressed and satisfied. The food was really exquisite and I sadly did not have enough room for Sticky Toffy Pudding which I will avenge with my next visit. The Staff were so friendly and helpful in every way. Professional. David was not there, which I did not know the significance of until I received an email from him the following morning apologizing for his absence taking a well deserved holiday with his family. Incredible and well received. That personal care and attention to detail exemplifies the quality of his restaurant, food and staff even in his absence. DK is something I will be talking about for a very long time. I look forward to my next visit and meet the man who makes his restaurant what it is. An unforgettable and magic dining experience which I would like to say from us, Thanks so much and see you next time. Please do go. you will not regret it."
