A Tip from the Editor |
|
"I laugh at people with their phrasebooks stumbling to conjugate verbs and keep up with the simplest of conversations. If you're not prepared to take three months off before a trip to master a language (like me) then don't bother going."
– Philippe Miseree

Editor's Picks...

Best Hotel
THE WILTED ORCHID
A six star resort situated on the west coat of the island. Of course, being in such a remote location not everything works perfectly and in some of the honeymoon suites the remote-control drapes are noise activated and have a tendency to open without warning.

 Best Restaurant
BISTRO NHAM PONG
Situated close to the centre of town, this friendly café offers a wide range of dishes, provided you like omelets. There's often music, if the chef turns his radio up.

|
Best Shopping
KING TRALANHNNG CENTER
This center in Bumpattabumpah is a massive building so large it has three separate time zones, and also happens to boast the largest ceiling fan in the world, made from the blades of a decommissioned Black Hawk helicopter.
|
|
 Best Beach
ZOU KOW BOW BEACH
This stunning beach, with what is regarded as the whitest sand in the world, was formed last century by the rare combination of global warming and a huge spill from a tanker carrying laundry bleach.
