Reverie Siam: "One of my favourite hotels of all time"

Review by: s4172249 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Stayed three nights in a villa and absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautifully manicured and the entire resort is just so peaceful. The riverside bar is stunning and serene, and the cocktails and wine list are excellent and well priced. The villa was lovely, done in a colonial style with a private outdoor patio, bathroom with glass ceiling and walls and a large jacuzzi, comfortable beds with high quality linen, to and DVD player, and basically anything else you could need. Staff were friendly and efficient. The included breakfast was of a very high standard and you could choose two meals cooked to order each morning. There is a free tuk tuk into town on demand which was useful for going in for the night markets etc. Despite being the most expensive place in town, it is not expensive by western standards and represents very good value. My only suggestions for improvement would be to allow food by the pool, and perhaps to even develop a poolside snack menu, so that people can enjoy some fries or another snack by the pool with their beers and cocktails! Also the food at the restaurant, whilst delicious, often came at different times to my dining partner whilst it should have been served together. These are minor points however and I would recommend this place to anyone, and will undoubtedly return next time I am in Thailand, as I have never found a resort as relaxing and peaceful as this before. Stayed February 2017"

SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "A sanctuary of Yangon"

Review by: Pedro3584 | Source: Trip Advisor
If you seek a retreat from the hustles of busy Yangon, Seeds is definitely the place you have to go to. Not only the unique ambience and very friendly & professional staff convinces every visitor, it's the heart that Luzia and Felix invest into every single detail. The chef's creations are beyond wonderful in taste and decoration, Felix's truffle ravioli another heart melting surprise. Don't miss it and enjoy your meal :-)

The Governor’s House: "An oasis in Phnom Penh"

Review by: Ming T | Source: tripadvisor.com
"Went to Phnom Penh for 3 nights on a business trip. This was my second trip to the city and checked into The Governor's House. Initially somewhat difficult to locate which caused some distress. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Tucked away just off a main thoroughfare, it is an oasis from the mad traffic of Phnom Penh. The establishment has only 12 rooms. After all it was a residence. And it certainly retained that warm homely feel. Once inside gate, one would enter into an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity - save for the play school next door. One may be deceived to think that this is an isolated location. There is a local market within a few minutes walk which offers a very interesting insight into the local life. I would recommend a morning visit. The establishment staff are warm and friendly adding to the homely atmosphere. While The Governor's House lacks the upscale look of other establishments near the tourist area closer to the river and palace, the warmth and tranquillity of this establishment more than make up for it. I will be coming back to The Governor's House again, soon."

Discover Muang La | Visit Laos | Luxury & Boutique Hotel: "Most attractive place in Laos"

Review by: Stefan S | Source: Trip Advisor
We have visited Muang La Lodge several times over the last four years (twice this year) and find it to be the most exciting place to visit in Southeast Asia. A day trip (several on this trip) to the Hmong village coupled with the most pleasant service, local entertainment at Christmas, spa treatment, hit mineral natural hot spring makes it an exceptional experience. The management and the entire staff is an absolute joy to be with while the food is TOP quality. Comes highly recommended!

David’s Kitchen: "Outstanding restaurant — must visit"

Review by: tmas1987 | Source: Trip Advisor
My wife and I visited on our honeymoon and we had an absolutely wonderful time. The venue itself is beautiful, and the service and food were terrific -- the best meal we had in Thailand. Add to that very good cocktails and an excellent wine selection. The staff even arranged for private car service back to our hotel. David's Kitchen is an absolute must visit when in Chiang Mai.

Sukoon Houseboat: "paradise"

Review by: Orbitaleee | Source: Trip Advisor
We had a lovely time at Sukoon. High end houseboat with heating, fancy bathroom with a bath - it is a five star experience. It has a lovely sun deck - perfect to lounge in the evening sun, read a book, just watch life go by and sundowners. It is in one corner of the Dal lake so pretty private. Highly recommended!
