Torneyboy Posted June 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Dusit five star for sure. Getaway shows some great spots but often way out of reach of mr and mrs traveller IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiburi Dusit resort (i thought by mentioning 1 Dusit would be enough as are all top hotels) thanks samak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 People look for different things when making a decision like the service, location, reputation, or facilities. For me it is the quality of the room. I have been to several 5 star hotels in BKK, but will go to no more. I have since discovered the best rooms are found in serviced apartments. The rooms are larger and you can get multiple rooms, broadband, stereo, kitchen, laundry machine, and basically all the comforts of home. The best kept secret is just about every serviced apartment has daily rates far below high end hotels. You can expect great facilities too like a pool, restaurant, fitness center and business center.

buffalo_bill Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Torneyboy, the Santiburi Dusit Ko Samui is not a top hotel, only the room rates are. No quality. In general there are so many hotels in Thailand which would easily make first place on a domestic scale somwhere in farangland ; further current prices are low enough. Something like the Peninsula would cost 300 USD in Europe (old), and 600 in England ( Europe new). To my opinion there two world class properties in Siam which is the Oriental and the Amanpuri Phuket. Although the latter is show business at 800 USD a day and not approved by my gf due to a small Singha costing 400 Baht. Life is hard.
