Chakrabongse Villas: "Wonderful hotel"
"We stayed one night in this hotel. This hotel is really beautiful. It is authentic and well located in the city. I would definitely recommend it. The room is huge and you have a large terrace. The breakfast is really good and can be served on the terrace as well. The staff speaks a very good English and are very helpful. This hotel would be a bit more expensive than other hotels that we did in Bangkok but it is definitely worth it. We hope to come back in Bangkok and stayed there. Thank you again for the Thailand flag :)"muang la: "Most charming Xmas Eve ever"
We stayed in this absolutely beautiful small resort for two nights. We were fortunate that we had a short journey, having flown to the nearest town and been picked up by the resort's car and our guide. We thought the location absolutely stunning and the staff even more fabulous. Our trek into the hills on Christmas Eve could not have been better (even down to the picnic lunch we carried with us from the resort) and the Christmas Eve entertainment which ended with us lighting Chinese lanterns was just magic. Thanks to everyone at the resort who made our stay so very special.VILLA SONG SAIGON: "Superb and enchanting"
"You have to go to believe how unique it is . The speed boat to downtown Saigon was the icing on the gateau. We arrived mid morning and were offered complimentary breakfast . Our rooms were most exciting . I shall never forget Villa Song . "Pindaya Farm House: "Such a peaceful place – a true bliss"
"Pindaya Farm House was our final stay on our little tour around Myanmar. We stayed 3 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! I have previously stayed at the Farm House when it just opened and was a new promising place; a lot has changed since then, hence a new review. The staff and of course the owner and manager Aye Aye are all amazing and super helpful, the place is a true bliss, the food is divine, and the garden is slowly showing its lush character. We had great drinks, great wine, peace and quietness. We warmed up in front of the fire place, we had long walks in the area, cycled around on the house’s well maintained bicycles, and we visited the beautiful caves of Pindaya, which are highly recommendable. We received helpful advice for what to do and how. The only suggestion I would like to make is for the Farm House to sort out the hot water – we didn’t have any hot water while there and given we came from Samkar where hot water was also scarce then we were getting rather eager for a hot shower…. All in all Pindaya remains one of my favourite places to visit and we could easily have chilled another day there with our books, coffee and on the terrace…. A highly recommendable place to visit."Manda De Laos: "Great food fabulous setting"
The Manda de Laos is set among several lotus ponds. Our hotel had made a reservation for us and we had a table positioned to enjoy the sunset. That was our only disappointment of the night as the clouds rolled in at the wrong time. Everything else was perfect. My buffalo was tender as and my wife's duck fabulous. This is not a cheap eat but worth every cent.Jing’s Residence: "Not to be missed"
"If you wish to visit Ping Yao while in China, this hotel is THE place to stay. It is, in fact, worth the trip, all by itself. The classic beauty of the old town and a stay at Jing's Residence combines for an unforgettable experience. Aline Wilson "David’s Kitchen: "棒棒的餐厅,令人放松、舒适的用餐体验"
从猫途鹰搜到DK是清迈排名第一的餐厅后,就抱着一定要来打卡的念头。餐厅食物还不错,环境优雅,最最重要的是老板和服务员都很礼貌、友善。正如很多评论中说的一样,老板David会跟每一位顾客聊天,当然不是简单粗暴的打断顾客的用餐,而是会观察顾客的用餐情况,找合适的时机与顾客聊聊。大概是因为当天中国游客很少,很开心被邀请进入厨房,与主厨O及员工们合影,很棒的用餐体验哦!Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Back to the past"

"Firstly, my apologies, as my review comes in very late. We travelled as a family of 5 and had planned a one-night stay at Tiger Mountain in late March. The moment we stepped into the lodge, its location took our breath away. Looking down at the valley below and the clouds in the distance, my family was instantly taken with the property. I, of course, had ulterior motives, Tiger Mountain is renowned to be one of the best birding destinations in Nepal. We were welcomed very warmly by Jhalak, the property's customer service manager who gave us a complete overview of the property. We had arrived at lunchtime, so after taking our lunch (all freshly made, the highlight of which was the tomato chutney), we retired to our rooms where the view was equally marvelous if not more. (...)As my family had some specific food requirements, the hotel stage were kind enough us to whip us something when the regular meal choices didn't make sense. At night once the weather had settled, Hari brought me out to listen to the haunting call of the Mountain Scops Owl, and since I had a flashlight, he said I could try my luck to catch the eye shine of a wandering yellow-throated marten (no luck there!). Next morning, I was up again to go with Hari, and after a quick clouded view of the Himalayas, we were off. We saw many more species, including the Khaleej pheasant scurrying away from the owner's bungalow into the forest. Truly a birder's paradise this. Jhalak and all the other staff ensured throughout our stay that we were well looked after (Jhalak, I did mention you to Jitudai at Chitwan, he beamed brightly when he heard yours and Hari's name). All in all, a wonderful stay, cozy, relaxing and for an amateur birder, downright enjoyable :) "
