I'm like you. I try to review every hotel, and include both good and bad points. Not many hotels have only good, or bad, .points. Viroth's in Siem Reap got 100%, especially for their service in bringing my chosen guy to my room!

To be fair, I told him the meal was excellent, but the restaurant, on the corner of the ground floor, can't decide whether to be a bar or restaurant. It's been both. As you will know, it's difficult to get people to eat in the hotel, when there are so many other choices on the doorstep. They have a big full service restaurant on the 1st floor.

Friends were fine, but the hotel can't decide what to do with the space, and it shows. I talked to the Manager about this, I'm sure you will understand that!

I tried Rolling Ribs at the Meridien. Mainly because the manager offered a free meal for me and friends! We had the brisket of beef, which was delicious! Good service, etc, but lacking atmosphere.

I am a so called Genius level 3, with booking.com. I use them quite a bit when I am in a hurry. When I have time, and it is a hotel i know, such as the Le Meridien Bangkok, I book direct, usually slightly cheaper, and I get Bonvoy points. However, in May I booked the Royalton, in NY, through booking.com, as it was slightly cheaper than booking direct. I was then offered a free car from JFK to the hotel. To my surprise it worked really well, good communication, nice car, well worth it. Saved $100!

Or less!

Yawn.....

I think that follows from my earlier comments!

The driver, and Mac, the guide from Siam Roads. I enjoyed the trip because I asked Mac to take me to parts of Ayutthaya where there are fewer tourists. This he did, some areas, which are just as interesting, had no other tourists. You need a car for this.

I stay at Le Meridien, Surawong, and book with the hotel. I find it slightly cheap and you get hotel points, if that is something you collect.

Me too, plus lunch by the river.

Try taking your tablets.

I almost understood that post! Congratulations.

Indeed!

I second that. I was told, 'we are owned by the Chinese '.

Fair point. As I mentioned, he has had various issues, and his communication is sometimes very erratic. I have learned to put up with this, but it's certainly a potential problem. I have discussed this with Siam Roads, so they know what is going on.

I've never had any issue with boys French kissing, but i do always ask first to make sure that they are happy with it. The method suggested by spoon is quite acceptable!

I think he was beheaded?

My loads are still OK, it's the frequency that's the problem!

It's just another of Old Daddy's various personalities!

About the same as Old Daddy spends, I imagine.....

That's around £25,000, so I hope it's a fairly long time!

Certainly the Khmer Rouge planted many landmines, a lot during their retreat after the Vietnamese invasion. I went to a landmine museum in Cambodia, a bit macabre!

Not Field Marshal Lord Henry Rawlinson, either !

Most of these absurd US sentences are without the ability to ask for a pardon. Unless you donate to the Trump campaign!
