Le Du Wine Bar & Restaurant: "Highlight Of Cuisine In Bangkok"

This is an excellent restaurant, with beautifully executed Thai haute cuisine. And they are getting the press for their creativity and perfection, having just earned a rating as one of the Top 50 restaurants in Asia. We travel extensively, and seek spectacular food experiences. We were impressed with each dish in our evening, and further impressed with the very well done wine pairings. I’ve seen a few reviews on Trip Advisor criticizing the location and whatnot, but we found the experience and site to be beyond reproach. Highlights were many, but included the pandan cake dessert, the ant larvae course, the green chicken curry version that delighted with its inventiveness, and 2 starter courses, both of which set the tone for an international class dinner experience. We recommend this restaurant heartily, though note that this an international standard restaurant with international standard prices. All in, our dinner for 2 with wine pairings was about $200 (US). Excellent value, but well outside standard Bangkok pricing.

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Warm and welcoming"

Very friendly staff who provided excellent service! We would recommend this place to everyone! We received a free tour as part of the guest package. We then got a privet tour by the manager. The restaurant is excellent if you want a nice meal.

Tugu Lombok: "Paradise!"

Where do I start?! Our greeting on arrival was kind and sincere. We had a tour of the complex by the manager, who pointed out everything you needed to know. While unpacking, we received fresh coconut water which we could see being chopped down just outside our bungalow. The rooms were lovely, with a grand outdoor bathtub and a large open shower. The grounds were stunning, and everyone who worked there were incredibly friendly. The hotel has two beautiful pools, it's right on the beach and they do private day tours to the Gili islands which I would highly recommend. The breakfasts are to die for, and a good hour every morning was spent enjoying and trying everything on the menu (over the 4 days of course) which was no mean feat as the menu was huge and catered for everyone. There is also a gym which you can create a decent work out in. We enjoyed an amazing couples massage by the beach, followed by champagne and dinner under the stars. It was a truly unforgettable experience and I would really love to return one day. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for making our stay!

The Cabochon Hotel: "A refreshing change"

"If you are looking for a change from the normal 5 star hotel experience then I would really recommend the Cabochon. The hotel has a colonial era boutique theme and it is done very well. The food in the restaurant is very good and cocktails and Gin and Tonics (they are a specialty) in the library before dinner are also excellent! The location just off Sukhumvit road is also very convenient. Its not right in the centre of the shopping district but its close to a BTS station and it is nice to be a little out of the way. We also enjoyed the roof-top pool. The other important feature of the hotel are the staff. They were all very enthusiastic and helpful We are looking forward to returning to the Cabochon next time we are in Bangkok"

The River Resort: "Many reasons to come, no reason to leave"

"We stayed in The River Resort mid July 2017, as the starting point of our Laos trip that took us up north from there. Great, nicely decorated bungalows with terrace or balcony and grand view over the mighty Mekong. Two swimming pools. A good restaurant serving a wide variety of local (and not-so-local) food. All set in a wonderful and well maintained tropical garden. Great staff that helps you with anything and more - like lending you bikes or fixing you a trip to a nearby or far-away site. Yes - the place lies somewhat remote from the obvious track; getting there needs some planning. The hotel can help you with that! Yes - nearby Champasak is a hamlet and everything is hamlet there; no fancy stores and no nightlife. You won't miss it, sitting on your balcony looking at the river and the sky over it! Yes - it's an expensive trip to those Mekong falls (some 100 kms south); once there they charge you for almost every step you take around the place. You'll forget this once you stand on a ridge watching a billion liters of Mekong water cascading down! The River Resort is not just a place to stay - it's an experience! A perfect start for a Laos trip, or as an ending as well."

Inle Heritage Stilt Houses: "Best lodging ever"

"The Inle Heritage Stilt Houses lie in picturesque Innpawkhon, an hour away from Nyaung Shwe. Accessible only by boat, the friendly staff welcome you with big smiles and open arms. Such hospitality is not a coincidence. Since 2014, Inle Heritage is also a successful vocational center providing free training to eligible youth from the region and beyond. A registered NGO, it currently has 46 students aged 17 to 24 years old, living and learning on site for 10 months. But that's not all. Inle Heritage Stilt Houses also runs an exciting cat breeding project aimed at reintroducing the long lost Burmese cat to the country. Guests can visit the happy purrers at the 'cat village', an area adjacent to the IHH aquarium where endangered and threatened species of local fish and turtles were saved from over-fishing and decreasing water quality. The Stilt Houses bungalows have a fairy tale like quality, offering comfort, beauty and serenity to those looking for the ideal escape from the city. Kitchen staff will treat you to a wide range of breakfast options from traditional Shan noodles to Burmese pancakes and continental delicacies. As a provider of education, community support and nature preservation projects, the Inle Heritage Hotel is difficult to fault. And with plans to extend from 6 bungalows to 10, IHH will remain a perfect safe haven for travelers for years to come. Book yourself in soon before this well kept secret is no longer!"

Villa Song Saigon: "An Oasis on the Saigon Riverbank"

"We stay at Villa Song Saigon only for one night but we got a late check-out since our flight depart late in the evening. The shuttle boat is fabulous. You could book the schedule and enjoy a 20-min ride to the city center which avoid the bustling traffic on the road and feel like a celebrity. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and we have a variety of local flavor and western style to choose from. You could also enjoy the pool, whether swim or do nothing. Villa Song Saigon really is a romantic boutique hotel embodying the beauty of Saigon. "

The Hue House: "Beautiful Gem and Amazing food"

"This place is Gem in Saigon.The Hue House is just amazing place to be, the Hue Cuisine is just delicious food specially Grilled beef with Hue Sauce and Cuon Diep the rolls is just awesome. The service is good and atmosphere is good. Very beautifully designed restaurant and well planned menu. Its the Hue Cuisine food with all different variety to choose from. Got to say one thing on the dot that food is Amazing. Would highly recommend.Must visit place"

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "Perfection"

"This was one of our favorite places that we stayed on our 3 week tour of Thailand. We loved the private beach; the layout of the rooms and the wonderful food and drinks. However, what absolutely made this hotel was the staff. They were so friendly and accommodating and took Thai hospitality to a whole another level. It rained the entire time we were on Koh Samui, flooding even, and we wouldn't have changed a thing because Sea Dance still made our trip perfect! Thank you to Poy, Tum, Chef Toy, David and the rest of our friends at Sea Dance! Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

Satri House: "Un havre de paix"

"Arrived for 4 days in Luang Prabang we stayed 3 nights at Satri House. This hotel in the colonial charm only deserves compliments. A very original architecture with large rooms decorated former local objects. You feel more in a big mansion than in a traditional hotel. Our room was spacious, very clean, wooden floors and a large balcony. Very quiet, a nice staff and very caring. The breakfast (Western or Lao) was plentiful and very fresh. 2 swimming pools (a bit small) but with a large green space surrounded by large tropical trees to relax. You can borrow bikes for walking and / or go into town. Would recommend without reservation! "
