The Cabochon Hotel: "Calm at the end of a quiet Soi"
With restaurants and bars in the same Soi you can easily not travel far from base if you want! Styled on an old English colonial theme but built in last 10 years, it combines interest, comfort, a great Thai restaurant and a 22m rooftop pool. We stayed in a corner suite that had its own sitting room which was lovely for relaxing. There are many services apartment hotels in the area but this allows you to treat yourself a little with space and a balcony/garden.Jing’s Residence: "Old World Charm and Service"
Jing's Residence is a place where you can relax and recharge while travelling through China. You are staying in the centre of Pinyao and it is a busy place but once you are through the discreet entrance everything is all calm.Sukoon Houseboat: "Pure Bliss"
"The best way to recover from stressful trekking in Ladahk. SUKOON is pure understated luxury .From your beautifully appointed stateroom with dream beds to the attached bathroom with both full sized tub & separate rain shower every comfort is assured. The amazing food is individually prepared by a top class chef. All staff are helpful, attentive & polite. I fully recommend SUKOON Houseboat as standout accommodation which will be the highlight of your trip to Srinagar."Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "Just beautiful!"
Top Service, very good and sufficient Thai Food, the view is beautiful. We enjoyed this nearly perfect Cruise very much and can recommend it. Very familiar athmosphere.Supanniga Luxury Bangkok River Cruises: "A delicious way to ring in a new year!"
The late night champagne cruise to welcome 2018 was great. The "tapas"-like menu was delicious and creative and the champagne, cocktails and service were great, too! My only wish is that there had been some 'kanom' (sweets) at the end.Dewakan: "Molecular gastronomy and haute cuisine for traditional Malay flavours"
"The best meal I have ever eaten, and my wife thought the same. And we have eaten in a lot of excellent restaurants around the world. This relatively new restaurant must be heading for a Michelin star before very long. The 10 course tasting menu included some of the finest and most surprising dishes I have ever tasted. Outrageously bold and delicious flavour and texture combinations using traditional Malay flavours and local ingredients, served with genuine flair for presentation. The staff provide wonderful service in this small restaurant currently housed in KDU university buildings. Go. Go soon before it becomes impossible to get a table. Go so you can tell people you supported this chef and this restaurant before they were famous."Rachamankha: "Oasis"
"We were fortunate to stay here, albeit during the coldest weather in years! This is a true 5* property with wonderfully gracious staff. The location is perfect for walking to most areas you would want to see while in Chiang Mai. Breakfast is more than most would expect and in the evening the food is very good. "Mrauk U Princess Resort: "Beautiful Mrauk Oo Princess Resort"
"The Princess Resort is a lovely place to simply unwind after sight seeing around Mrauk Oo. There is a pool, spa, walking areas and wonderful resturaunt. The property is quiet with lovely tropical flowers and the staff very attentive. It is accessible by boat, which when the tide is against you is a long ride. But, the scenery on the way is wonderful. It is about 45 miles from the main town of Sitwe, so somewhat remote. Room Tip: All the rooms are excellent"Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Beautiful mansion with excellent staff"
"This place is really worth staying if you are in Penang and love a place with old charm and character. Breakfast was lovely and staff very friendly and attentive. Once you cross the threshold you will feel transported back in time. Considering that it's an old structure , they have done their best in restoring it back to its glory days. Stayed December 2016, traveled with friends"The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Perfect hotel, perfect location, perfect restaurant!"
We stayed two nights at the Cabochon and I could have happily holed up there for weeks. The staff were so brilliant, our room was gorgeous, the location just of Sukhumvit was perfect for exploring Bangkok but far enough away from the main road to provide some peace and quiet while we were back at base. The rooftop pool was amazing and exactly what we needed after the heat of the city. But the real praise has to go to the kitchen - this was easily the best food we ate in Thailand. We loved the relaxed atmosphere of the Cabochon. Despite it's luxurious and ornate colonial vintage style, it didn't feel stuffy or 'too nice to touch.' Everyone was super lovely and very chilled out and there was nothing more blissful than having a happy hour cocktail on the front porch after spending the day exploring the city via the nearby Sky Train. Thank you for a wonderful stay to everyone at The Cabochon. Frankly, I can't wait to get back there.
