David’s Kitchen: "Paiboon WAIQUAMDEE"

"Great place, great location and super great food and staff. They deserve to be number one. I like the mushroom soup. The red-meat main courses are all superb. Will try fish next visit. The wine selection is quite abundant and diverse. Would love to see ""Chablis"" in the list though. I give them 3-star Michelin equivalent. Appreciate personalized welcome amenities, one of a kind. Thumbs up."

Chakrabongse Villas: "Unique in Bangkok, unique anywhere"

I've been coming here since Narisa Chakrabongse opened her riverside palace to guests, and there is nothing at all comparable in Bangkok — an Italianate palace built as a retreat from court life by a Thai Prince. Opposite is Wat Arun, a short stroll is Wat Po. The staff, the service, the food wonderful.

Samanea Beach Resort: "peaceful and clean"

"overall this was a great place for us to stay, after travelling throughout Cambodia we found this to be perfect to relax and enjoy our down time. only a short ride into town and resort manager was so good she rang us tut tuts with no extra charge and they were there quickly breakfast is just yummy and fresh"

David’s Kitchen: "Wonderful birthday meal – amazing atmosphere and phenomenal food"

We had such a great evening at David's Kitchen last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. They had decorated the table and left a card for me as we were celebrating my birthday. David, himself came and had a lovely chat with us, sharing a few of his stories. We noticed he made the effort to go around to most of the tables, making sure everyone was having a good evening! He gave us dinner and wine recommendations for our meal which we followed, and were not disappointed. My boyfriend had the pumpkin soup and the beef cheek. I had the spicy fish salad and the chicken breast with mushroom sauce. Both were delicious. I asked for extra sauce with my chicken, and the lovely waitress brought me out some and then brought me an extra helping without me asking for it, as she didn't want me to run out. They sang happy birthday whilst one of the gents played guitar and they gave me a little bunch of roses, which although slightly embarrassing was a really nice gesture. They went above and beyond to make us feel really special and we enjoyed every minute. It is a definitely one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Thailand and as such is more expensive than usual Thailand prices, but we are used to London prices and had we had this same meal back home we would have likely paid 4x the price and wouldn't have minded doing so. Thank you to the whole team it was a fantastic night that we won't forget in a hurry.

Satri House: "Absolutely wonderful"

"This is a truly amazing gem of a boutique hotel. The manager introduced himself on our arrival and the staff were exceptionally helpful. There are 2 pools, a spa and lovely grounds to relax in. Breakfast is either continental with a range of cooked eggs or local. The basket of pastries was fresh and they melted in your mouth. The tomato jam is excellent as is the tamarind. If you ask the recipes are available. The room was beautiful with local antique furniture and if you ask they will provide a kettle and tea making facilities. You can also request a tv but with the balcony and gardens who needs a tv! Look forward to returning some day. Congratulations on your property and staff."

The Island Lodge: "Chill out space extraordinaire"

You know that feeling of leaving a perfect place and grieving for that experience? Well, that is how we feel right now. The Island Lodge provided us with much needed healing and relaxation from the stresses of our work, health issues and our lives in the 'rat race'. The world is becoming a harder place but The Island Lodge provides a respite from all of that. Thank goodness for such a place. We spent most of our time outside or on our balcony watching the river life - a busy artery of interest and diversity. The breakfast was personalised - no buffet. Beautiful basket full of breads, a variety of juices, eggs to suit and more. Dinner and a nice wine list enhanced the open wall dining area so we could still see the river! Pool was the perfect temperature for me. A comment about the staff - they were gracious, polite and seemed to be able to predict your needs. Thank you to all.

Slow Villas and Spa: "Great place to stay"

Staff were really nice, villas are quiet, beautiful and clean. Not far from the sea. Really relaxing, perfect for families and couples and friends. Breakfast were delicious! I was really pleased during the 3 days i stayed. I hope i will have the chance to come back.

Inle Princess Resort: "Peaceful, a world apart"

"The fact that the long tail boats with their load motors are not allowed up to the hotel is the first idea one gets that this place places importancce on the wellbeing of its visitors. About 500 yards away, a one legged rower steps on board from a boathouse to bring us to the jetty. Here we were met with an ice cooled towel and drink. Our bungalow was stunning, the bathroom huge, actually it was three rooms, a large one with two washbasins leading to a room with a bath looking out into a small walled garden in which there was a blissful outdoor shower. I enjoyed this so much that I showered twice a day during our stay.In the room they had thought of everything, including binoculars and a bird watching book. The mini bar was stocked with complimentary soft drinks, alcoholic ones were of course not included. Supper was superb, one more of less 'has' to eat here as one cannot get away but the standard of the kitchen is fantastic. I had divine butter fish steamed in ginger which could not have been more delicious and my brother had green Thai curry. We sat outside and there were blankets for when it got chilly. Breakfast was just as good, everything imgainable was on offer and the banana cake was so morish that I asked for the recipe which was given to me. We also took advantage of the beautiful Spa which was excellent. The staff were without exception friendly and helpful and on our last night we found a package with the typical shoulder bag of the area in it and a note thanking us for staying. This place was an oasis of calm, the concept is perfect. Stayed February 2017, traveled with family"

Chakrabongse Villas: "Chakrabongse Villa – Royalty @ the Chao Phraya River"

"I was there for the 4th. tme in several years and it get's even better ! Chakrabongse Villa lies in my favourite part of the old city. Situated on the Rattanakosin Island @ walking distance from the pulsing food and flower market of BKK - Phak Klong Talad. Chakrabongse Villa is a very distinguished and stylised Boutique hotel and restaurant almost opposite the famous Wat Arun. The setting is gorgeous, the food is Thai and of course a little bit farang-style, but over all. To have dinner here with your friends or family is a real experience. The staff is very friendly, The wine-list could be bigger and at the end you just have to try it to to ad another experience to your life."
