Of the 386 travellers who have reviewed the Place Luxury Boutique Villas on the TripAdvisor website, all of them gave it excellent ratings in terms of sleep quality, location, rooms, service, value and cleanliness.
“Not a hotel—far better – like hiring a villa with very helpful owners on hand. With privacy, peace and wonderful views, I imagine there is nowhere else like this in [Ko Tao],” said one satisfied guest.
Meanwhile, the Oriental Kwai Resort Kanchanaburi, a small and peaceful resort located in a little village on the bank of the serene River Kwai, currently has 518 traveller’s reviews on the TripAdvisor page. The resort garners high praise, “A great small resort on the river” and “A Gem of a hotel actually on the famous River Kwai”. The resort has rated highly on the Traveller’s Choice Awards since 2009.
Mr. Thawatchai Arunyik, TAT Governor said, “This poll and the high ratings that these properties have been given on such an influential website show that Thailand’s hotels and resorts really shine internationally, especially in terms of the exceptional services they offer. Both of these stand-out resorts have been voted among Asia’s best in the TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Awards many times over, which affirms their consistently high standards. Such properties can set the benchmark for other resorts in Thailand to reach.”
