SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Beautiful views over cocktails"
"My party and I decided to stop by Seeds to watch the sun set over the lake. It was a completely gorgeous view, and we enjoyed several cocktails and appetizers during. I was not able to try the dining menu food as we were going to a different spot for dinner. I will say, this spot is very Euro-centric, so if you are looking for a ""local haunt"" this isn't it. However, it you want to enjoy a sit-down, white table-clothed restaurant, then this is your spot. The menu was moderately-to-expensively priced, but the views and ambiance are well worth it. I'd recommend going before the sunsets in order to watch the sky change. We stayed a little afterwards out on the deck, and I was eaten alive by mosquitoes (bring your spray!). While we were there, they had just opened their little cocoon tree house for small dinner parties. Next time I take a group, I will definitely be booking that!"Maison Polanka: "Heaven"
After trekking around Asia we were ready to unwind and relax while visiting Angkor Wat. Came across Polanka online, and it was highly praised so we thought it was worth a try. Well after weeks of dodgy rooms and supposed 5 star hotels we finally found heaven. The rooms are stellar and the location exactly what we wanted, away from the crowds. The garden and the grounds are amazing. Kalimantan the dog and tin tin the rabbit are playing around at breakfast time and hundreds of colorful butterflies surround you. The hotel was the highlight of our tripSukoon Houseboat: "Lovely experience!"
I've spent 3 nights on Sukoon Houseboat together with my father to start our trip through India and it was a fantastic experience! The houseboat has 5 comfortable rooms, authentic but with all modern comfort and well-equipped bathrooms. We wer lucky to meet the owner, mr Chapri, a very friendly man with whom we had interesting conversations. All stafmembers are very friendly and their service is impecable and of a high level. For diner, let the chef surprise you and you will be overwhelmed! Definetely the best choice for your stay on Dal Lake!Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful historic hotel"
The hotel has been impressively restored with great attention to detail filled with character. Our room (The Mandarin) was spacious, very clean and airy with a large luxurious bathroom. We enjoyed having breakfast in the open courtyard surrounded by green plants and antiques. The children loved the pool. This place was perfect for our young family. We would definitely love to return!Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Elegant food and service"
"My wife and I enjoyed a dinner here as part of our honeymoon this week. I had the 6 course vegetarian menu, and my wife had one of the six course omnivorous options (including a frogs legs option!). All courses were simply superb. Beautiful balanced flavours were supported by technical flair. Service was perfect, warm yet unobtrusive. The decor was subtle and the atmosphere calm. Truly, this was one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. Thank you!"Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Best cuisine"
I have not enough words to thank the most exciting chef in cambodia. Never been disappointex after all these years. Thank you Johannest ! amazing evening !Blackitch Artisan Kitchen: "Kreativ, authentische gehobene Küche"
"Sehr köstliche, kreative und authentische gehobene Küche. Die Atmosphäre ist trotzdem familiär und ungezwungen. Die verwendeten Zutaten ideal aneinander abgestimmt. Es war unheimlich köstlich. Gerne wieder!"The Cabochon Hotel: "The Friendliest place in BKK"
I do not have enough words for how much I liked this hotel. I was traveling alone with a 10 month old baby (something that can be a bit hard from time to time as you have noone to share the work with). At Cabochon we had a great shelter to return to from the busy streets. Even though I love the whole style of this hotel I still think that the team is what makes it really really special. They are genuine friendly and independent and cared so much for us. Everyone is child friendly. I was able to arrange babysitting with them to go to a spa one evening. On top of this they have a great restaurant attached to the hotel which I can highly recommend. Since everyone wanted to play with my son I was also able to enjoy a peaceful dinner on my own which was quite nice. Breakfast is a treat and you can choose from a selection of breakfast types. We enjoyed an asian breakfast and it was my favourite on this journey. Apart from this the hotel is just beautiful and has a calm and cool colonial flair in the middle of the hot and dirty city. We enjoyed our stay at Cabochon so much that I can not praise this hotel enough!Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Honey Moon Couples"
Rice and Zen Boutique Resort is one very very very beautiful resort. Resort it have over 5 star standard ! The resort owner Mr. Micheal and all the staff so friendly, the staff Maya, she is best kitchner, we are miss your food.Muang La Lodge: "Relax here"
"This is luxury and the perfect place to relax, with great rooms, good food and a peaceful atmosphere just sitting in the gardens or by the pool. We stayed a few nights in upper floor riverside rooms. The rooms were a good size with comfortable beds and great balcony overlooking the river and the hot springs bathing area. Its well worth doing the 4x4 drive into the hills, as well as a guided walk around the local area which includes a pole raft across the river. The staff are friendly and helpful."
