Cuisine Wat Damnak: "Value for Money"

"One of the most important thing for us when traveling is to have a nice dinner that feature the local cuisine and fresh produce. This restaurant did just that. Local cuisine done right with modern techniques. I believe some reviewers gave a lower rating because they did not take the full 6-course menu, of which the missing course is one of the best. USD31 for 6-course degustation menu that is executed to perfection, is definitely value for money. Thumbs up and we will definitely come again. Remember to make reservation."

Supanniga Eating Room: "Best Authentic Thai Food – new Fav place in Bangkok!"

Visited the Sathorn branch which is just a 7 mins walk away from Chong Nansi BTS station. Important note to book in advance for a place as it got packed pretty quickly, even had a table of ladies celebrating hen's night there. You can easily make a booking through their website. The food there is exceptional!! The ambience is nice with music and soft lighting. Portions are good for 2 pax and we were able to order a variety of dishes to share. They had the deep fried siakap fish with yummy garlic soy sauce and the pork in yellow curry was super yummy. For dessert, you must try the thai tea-flavoured panna cotta, which is literally melt in your mouth concentrated thai tea with smooth texture! Will definitely come back again!

RACHAMANKHA: "Zen oasis in the old town: fine Asian antiques, great service, sublime food!"

"We stayed for six nights. What a treat. This hotel is a ""Secret Retreat"" property, one of three that we stayed at in Thailand and Laos. They are owner occupied properties, with amazing attention to decor and service. The architect and designer of this property live here and use the hotel as their home and office, and as a display space for their fine collection of Asian antiquities, a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Southeast Asian. Just walking in the gate caused a feeling of calm. I asked for a yoga mat, no problem, and found that the second floor balcony of the spa, situated over the swimming pool, was a perfect place for doing my yoga routine, with several Buddhas looking on. The setting, the pool, the room, the service, the food were all wonderful. Paul, the manager, sat with us to plan out our day to day itinerary, and all of his suggestions were spot on, for temples and outings, and especially his recommendation for a tailor, from whom we got five shirts and a sport coat. The location is ideal with Wat Prah Singh just around the corner (we called it ""our"" temple), making it easy to drop in for monk chats, or to hear the chanting at 5 PM. The hotel is within the walls of old Chiang Mai and very close to the Sunday walking market. There is a discount for persons staying 3 nights or longer, not something we realized, but were happily surprised when they gave it to us without our asking. Having modified our original reservation at the last minute, we were scheduled to move rooms over our 6 night stay, but the management spent some time juggling the room schedule, so that we could stay in the same room, which we very much appreciated. We were in Room 19, in one of the main courtyards, and these courtyard rooms are quite lovely. One assumes these were equally as nice. The whole hotel is quiet and quiet. "

The Hue House: "So glad i found here"

"This place is a must . Quality food at exceptional prices . Servive top notch . Im cautious when trying viet food even though its spectacular and unique with so much goodness some places tend to use too much oil as i have encountered on a few occasions with mi quang and bo kho when you see the ""yellowish"" oil sticking to the side or floating on the top of the broth but the vietnamese like it this way. The food here is unique to the central of vietnam and omg absolutely minimal use of oil in the broth and dishes and incredibly cooked to perfection. Not only that but so tasty with lots of goodness . The price of the food for the quality made it that more special . This will be my go to place for traditional healthy ""Hue"" food! Be sure to check this place out and make sure you have a big appetite before going as there are so many different unique wonderful healthy dishes"

Inle Princess Resort: "Unique Location, Fantastic Accommodation and Service"

My wife and I spent two most enjoyable nights at this resort. Starting from the arrival by boat, and the gorgeous location, we were thoroughly impressed with what they had to offer. Accommodation is in individual chalet/cottage type units, that are very luxurious. Ours faced the Lotus Pond and the Lake. No motorized vehicles, by road or by water, are allowed in the area of the property where the guests are accommodated. The dining room faces the lake, and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy our meals on the patio. This is a resort not to be missed if one is visiting Inle Lake. Thank you all for making our stay in Myanmar most memorable. Wish our stay was longer!

4 Rivers Floating Lodge: "Paradise!"

A bit of a trek to get there, but well worth it. We would certainly like to go back. Luxurious tents, everything was beautifuly clean. People so welcoming, very friendly and good fun. Food was excellent and served in a lovely restaurant. Woke up every morning to see the river, the forest behind and know we were in for a great day. Trips daily if you want to go. Really recomment the waterfall and kayaking around the mangroves.

4 rivers: "Absolutely beautiful place, such an unusual but wonderful stay"

"The setting is spectacular. It feels so remote. Although the accommodation is canvas, it is so well equipped inside it was better than some hotel rooms we'd had. Proper flushing loo and double hand basins with a lovely shower. There was no kettle in the room but the staff would bring some hot drinks over if requested. The staff were generally very friendly and helpful, it was a homely, welcoming feel. The food was excellent, and the day trips are really worthwhile. There is no wi if but its sometimes nice just to read and relax, the hotel provide DVDs as there is no cable for TV programmes, very much a get away from it all place. Over a 3 week Cambodia / Laos holiday in such a selection of hotels, this one really stands out. It is very close to the jungle so there needs to be some common sense re mosquitos etc but it really is worth a visit. We had 2 nights there, I think 4 would have been ideal."

REVERIE SIAM: "Quality hotel in Pai"

"Beautiful hotel just outside the village of Pai. It felt like a true oasis in Northern Thailand. Every morning we were served the most amazing a la carte breakfast, delicious. There are two beautiful swimming pools where we relaxed the first day after the long scooter ride from Chiang Mai. Very low prices for food and cocktails, you would expect to pay a lot more in a 5 star hotel ike this. Only a short scooter ride to the village with many restaurants and bars. Here we discovered Northern Thailands, in our opinion most delicious dish: Khao Soi Gai. It can found in the main street where the night market is: two people are cooking on the street and they have a 'restaurant' behind them. They only prepair Pad Thai & Khao Soi Gai. Only 50B! Amazing. Please note that in the hotel only Western style food is served, no Thai food. If you want to relax a little also this is the perfect hotel to stay at in Pai. "

Manda De Laos: "best place, best food, best service"

The food is extraordinary, fusion style for those who dont want to eat every day rice or noodle dishes

Slow Villas and Spa: "7 days of paradise"

Gili Air is itself already a special place, however, if you stay at Slow Villa this will give you the last notch to perfection. The villa itself is very well organized with private pool, massive private garden, lovely villa and beautifully designed interior. The stuff was great even at peak breakfast hours and also for special arrangements like bbq of the fish we caught in the morning. The staff is more than helpful in giving you tips in terms of restaurants, bars, activities, organizing travel arrangements, etc. In a pretty short time you get a good impression about the island itself and the other accommodation and I can without any doubt say that Slow Villa is definitely the best place to stay on Gili Air. And on top of the aforementioned I love the fact that the people behind Slow Villa also care about environmental and social responsibility. Chapeau and keep going!!!
