Pure escapism

“This is a very special place…I felt a bit like Leo DiCaprio discovering his Beach when I arrived here! (In fact its a bay and a beach creating a bit more variety than normal with the shallow bay ideal for any of the younger guests….) Its a 1.5 hour long tail boat trip from Khuraburi […]

Paradise does exist! And it is golden.

“Your jet lag and tiredness begin to melt away the moment you board the boat at Kuraburi (about a couple of hours by road from Phuket) but as you glide into the palm-fringed bay beach of the resort itself you really do have to pinch yourself that you have not just fallen asleep and are […]

Great stay – wonderful atmosphere

“Stayed for four nights. Pai has changed a lot (compared with 2004), so we really like the quite location of this relaxing resort. Very helpful staff, good breakfast with a wonderful view and definitely enjoyed the music in the restaurant in the evening. And if you want to visit the center of Pai, don’t worry, […]

Met all my expectations.

We stayed at the Tugu for one night (two were planned but the volcano didn’t allow us to fly into Denpasar) and we wished we could have stayed longer. After our adventures(broken leg, volcano eruptions, etc..) the Tugu was the perfect place to relax and just enjoy. We booked the Tugu so our son could […]

Exquisite and serene

This hotel is an oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle that is Chiang Mai. Only two blocks from the Sunday walking street, it is a world apart. A small boutique hotel, the architecture and antiquities are exquisite. Service is quietly attentive, the breakfasts are fabulous, the pool serene. Usually when I travel […]

Beautiful hotel with real character

This is the best hotel in Pai. It’s a little way out of the centre but they do have a cute little shuttle which is more like a glorified golf buggy. The whole place is designed beautifully with a theme of 1920’s jazz era, and this is executed really well. It’s got real soul. It’s […]

Fantastic meal

Highly recommend this newly opened restaurant in an old colonial building – service, views, food – everything was great. A bit more expensive than other places in Luang Prabang but absolutely worth it.

Delicious casual restaurant

All of the dishes were delicious. The fried beef jerky with kaffir leaves was very interesting and addictive. The masaman curry and another red curry also both excellent. It’s a casual place but very tasty food. Would return and recommend if in the Thonglor area.

Honeymoon heaven

“What can I say this place was absolute heaven for the five days we stayed as part of our honeymoon travelling around Thailand. The cottages are beautiful with extreme care and attention to detail from the giant beds with high thread count sheets to two types of blinds, one to offer privacy and one to […]

Unforgettable experience

“My partner & I stayed with Tugu for a weekend and had the most unforgettable time. We were greeted by the PR of the hotel who gave us a detailed and wonderful tour of the place. Annisa showed us Tugu’s very own museums and temples located at the front of the hotel, which is also […]
