Hilton Milennium

Posted by HKNick 18 August 2008

I just visited Bangkok yet again - tried the newish Hilton Milennium and was greatly impressed. It's on the south side of the river with a shuttle across to River City of Thaksin bridge. Great infinity pool, lovely outdoor terrace restaurant runing up to the river, spacious rooms with tremendous views. AND very reasonably priced when you consider you're paying at least twice as much next door at the Peninsula.

Blue Elephant

Posted by HKNick 18 August 2008

Simply the best top end Thai cuisine you'll taste in Bangkok outside a five-star hotel. It's not expensive but the whole dining experience will blow you away. I've lived in Asia for 25 years and can honestly say this is Thai food at its best.

Preety as a personal tour guide

Posted by karrens 16 August 2008

Preety is a very caring tour guide who help us during our stay in Bangkok. We were in Bangkok last month and after checking various travel message boards, settled on Narrytravel (where we met Preety) to show us around Bangkok. She was absolutely outstanding. She is well educated with a good command of English and this gracious lady went well out of her way to ensure we had a great tour; if she is available, you can't go wrong in our view. Highly recommended.
