[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northern Thailand was our favorite. Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai. We stayed at the Cave Lodge - https://www.cavelodge.com/index.html[/quote]

This looks like my worst nightmare in a hotel. Do they have luxury hotels?[/quote]

DP. Some people say they want to travel to other countries, yet expect everything to look and function just like at home. Of course Thailand has some 5 star hotels, but I would suggest that perhaps you don't really want to see Thailand. [/quote]
dp.. wanting to see a country doesn't necessarily mean having to live like a native. I love to travel, but I need a decent bathroom. That's non negotiable. [/quote]

May I recommend The White Lotus? In all seriousness, you've assumed that most hotels and guesthouses in Thailand don't have decent bathrooms, without any prior knowledge. I spent about a month traveling around SE Asia, staying in fairly modest accommodations, and the bathrooms in my hotels all had en suite hot showers and flushing toilets...if that's even what you meant. But if you're very fussy and high maintenance, SE Asia probably isn't your ideal destination, and here's why: once you leave the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok or wander beyond the air conditioned malls nearby, you will be leaving your very carefully controlled environment. You may see giant rats. You will smell terrible smells. You may get sick and find the only bathroom available is a squatty potty. You will sweat, a lot. If you really want to see some of SE Asia without the hassle, you should probably stick to something like a cruise with predictable excursions that shuttle you around to major sites and right back to the ship.

? I didn't say I would never visit SE Asia. It's on my bucket list.  But yea, I would probably stay at a nice hotel.[/quote]
