Chakrabongse Villas: "A gourmet REAL THAI meal"

This traditional Thai décor restaurant near Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) on the Chao Phraya River has both indoor, air-conditioned, tables and, if the weather cooperates, outdoor tables. Reservations are a must, online if you like, as this pricey, high-end traditional Thai food service only serves 30 diners a night ! The menu is fixed, it's pricey by Thai standards but not foreign standards and it is well worth a special visit, romantic or best friends. Not suitable for young kids: no place to romp, lengthy multiple course service. The menu changes daily depending on what the chef can find, and you'll only be able to modestly substitute for allergies or strong dislikes. For those looking for exquisitely prepared Thai cuisine in a set menu, multiple course, fixed price dining experience you should not miss this wonderful food!

David’s Kitchen: "Great service, personalized experience"

The food was great, but what set the meal apart was the service. David and his wife have trained the staff exceptionally well, and David stops by each table to say hello and check in on everything. He also sent a personalized email after the meal. Real class act and great food. A must in Chiang Mai.

Maison Polanka: "An oasis of calm in Siem Reap’s Disneyland"

"We stayed at Maison Polanka for the final four nights of a three-week tour to Vietnam and Cambodia. From the moment we arrived, the staff were charming and welcoming, and they could not have done anything more to make us at home during our all-too-brief stay. Any time we ventured out, there was invariably a warm smile and a cool, refreshing serviette awaiting our return. It felt not as though we were going back to the hotel, but rather, as though we were going back home. We were allocated the lovely Yellow Room, which was equipped with all we needed and very comfortable. Siem Reap has over 1,000 hotels, many of them seemingly large and impersonal, all lined up alongside each other and vying for business. Maison Polanka, situated in a quiet back street not far from the centre of town, has just five guest rooms, a beautiful open-air dining terrace, a beautiful swimming pool, and several bicycles, should one feel the urge to go out and explore. . We felt incredibly blessed to have landed up at this jewel. Staff addressed us by our first names, and absolutely nothing was too much trouble, including an impromptu staff choir and cake to celebrate my birthday! The food on the terrace was beautifully prepared, breakfast was a real treat, and when we went out early, a packed breakfast was beautifully prepared. We had enjoyed several lovely hotels in Vietnam, but this was an entirely different experience, and ended up being the icing on the cake! It was a personal service par excellence, where one always felt among friends. To really enjoy your stay in Cambodia, you can do no better than to head for Maison Polanka."

Nimmu House: "A Quiet Ecofirendly Place to Unwind"

"Nimmu is a quiet place to relax if you are looking for a place away from all sorts of pollution - air, water, sound, light etc.. The hotel is a restored 100 year old heritage building representing Ladakhi architecture, set in the midst of a farm of walnut, apricot and apple trees, and a stream that comes alive at various points of the day! We loved the ambience, the food and the hospitality of the staff. The general manager Will Maldinez was a great host and made our stay memorable with his friendly chats and great food. You would love this place, if you are willing to be in the lap of nature away from the multitude distractions! The only sore point of our trip was the atrocious transport bill the operator charged us. They indicated an upfront transport cost of close to INR 40,000/-. The operator's representative in Leh, did not share details for the charge when verified. We trusted and went ahead with the booking. Including our airport pick-up & drop we had travelled less than 650 KM, however, we were charged aforementioned unreasonable amount. We were even asked to shell an additional taxi fare for an unscheduled trip we made to Leh! Just be wary of this, so that you are not left with a feeling of having been taken for a jolly ride by an unscrupulous operator."

Amata Lanna: "an oasis in the rush of Changmai"

If you believe that small is beautiful then you will love this niche hotel. Just twelve large rooms based on the old Northern Lana style - that is teak buildings and platforms around a central pool. The staff are charming and attentive. A place to chill and relax after a busy day

Satri House: "Fantastic boutique hotel"

Great service, well maintained, and smoothly run boutique hotel located just 500m from Luang Prabang downtown. Very friendly and discreet service, rooms in good shape and a fine breakfast restaurant as well as good pool and spa services. We'll be back.

The Cabochon Hotel: "French Indochine Chic"

This hotel is set in an elegant period building down a quiet lane. It has a 1920s period styling with a bit of big game hunter and French colonialism thrown in for good measure. It's not an all-out luxury hotel. It's more an experience hotel, and I had a great experience. IT's like going back in time to a by-gone period which a jarring and interesting juxtaposition from the hustle and bustle happening less than 100m on Sukhumvit. Choose this for a unique boutique experience in central Bangkok.
