Genji Japanese Restaurant in Bangkok

Japanese restaurants in Bangkok are plentiful but ones that combine great attention to detail, authentic surroundings and good value are not so common. Genji Japanese restaurant in the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel is one of those Japanese restaurants that combines all of these attributes. Along with attentive service and high-quality ingredients - a must for a top-level Japanese restaurant - Genji offers its guests an inviting place to eat good food.

I've eaten in many Japanese restaurants in Bangkok over the years and yet am still impressed each time I visit Genji. It's an unpretentious place and yet elegant at the same time which creates a calm and serene atmosphere. The main dining room presents a more formal atmosphere than some Japanese restaurants that have sushi bar seating and teppanyaki grill tables, with its sushi bar separated as well as two teppanyaki rooms. There are also a number of private rooms with traditional tatami seating setups.

There is a large menu here that includes both ala carte items as well as set lunches and dinners and a special all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that is quite popular. On my last visit for lunch here I tried several items that were new to me, the most notable being a soft-shell crab tempura. I've had many types of tempura over the years but this was the first time I've had soft-shell crab and it was a welcome addition. Soft-shell crab has to be cooked with a very high heat to get the right amount of crispness and the chef did it perfectly here. I also enjoyed some salmon and scallops from the teppanyaki grill, miso soup and a sushi California roll set.

I could have ordered one of the set lunches which offer a variety of Japanese cuisine styles including grilled fish, teppanyak, sukiyaki, tempura and others along with the traditional Japanese Bento box lunch that is also on the menu. And the prices of these punches are all quite reasonable.

At dinner there are more set menus covering different specialties such as yakizakana and yakiniku as well as more teppanyaki items including Kobe beef. There are also, of course, a large selection of ala carte items covering all of the cuisine styles mentioned above. Basically, Genji can cater to just about every taste in regard to Japanese food.

So although there are many choices in Bangkok when you're thinking about good Japanese food, Genji offers an attractive place to enjoy high quality food in an authentic setting with very good value for money.

Travelers Rate Bangkok As the #1 City in the World

Travel and Leisure, an American based magazine devoted to tourism, recently published their 13th annual travel poll. Bangkok, Thailand's cosmopolitan capital city, was voted by their readers as the top city destination in the world. In the poll of the world's best hotels,, India and luxury tented camp resorts in East and South Africa dominated the rankings. Keep in mind that Travel & Leisure's readership is mostly American - as travelers, they are not the budget, backpacker types and their choice in accommodations is geared towards deluxe and luxury resort hotels.

Why is Bangkok #1? I can understand why travelers from the west (farangs) would be attracted to the City of Angels. Bangkok has that magical allure - in many respects it is very westernized but at the same time it is so very exotic and foreign. Pluses are fantastic shopping opportunities, a variety of fascinating cultural attractions, a great selection of fine restaurants representing cuisines from around the world - Thai, Indian, Chinese, Italian, French, American, Japanese etc - and a most titillating nightlife. In addition, Bangkok has some of the finest luxury hotels in the world - not necessarily where I stay when I go to Bangkok, as I'm partial to more humble surroundings. For a large city, Bangkok is one of the safest in the world. On the downside, like most big cities, Bangkok has horrendous traffic jams and the air is very polluted. Bottom line, if you're a foodie and shopping is your thing, then you'll love Bangkok.

My personal take - I must admit that while I am not particularity fond of big cities, I find the City of Angels to be absolutely fascinating. Despite concessions to modernity and to the West, Bangkok carefully maintains the essence of Siam culture - the old ways and traditions remain as strong as ever. Notwithstanding numerous trips there, Bangkok continues to be a puzzle and mystery to me. Maybe that's the reason I keep returning - to solve the puzzle.

Bangkok's Best No Joiner Fee Hotels - Tips From an Insider

The term No Joiner Fee is associated with hotels in Bangkok that do not charge their registered guest an extra fee for taking an unregistered guest(s) up to their room. You may have heard other labels such as Girl or Guest Friendly hotels instead. Either way, such hotels are by far some of the most popularly booked hotels in Bangkok. So it's best to reserve far in advance for your first choice of no joiner fee hotels for your stay.

Many would think that most lower class hotels in Bangkok won't charge such a fee but you would be sorely mistaken. Most of the upper range hotels in Bangkok do not charge fees for bringing in a guest yet the many middle and lower class hotels charge about 500 THB to 1500 THB. So if you're planning to bring company into your room every night you can see how joiner fees can really add up. This is one of the reasons why so many hotels in Bangkok that don't charge joiner fees are very popular and in demand.

The majority of Bangkok's no joiner fee hotels are located in the areas of Sukhumvit and Nana. This is an area that is heavily commercialized and popular amongst tourist and the expat community. So it's no surprise that two of Bangkok's most famous nightlife districts called Nana Entertainment Plaza and Soi Cowboy are located. You can find many popular go-go bars attracting men all over the world at those places. This is the major reason why the areas of Sukhumvit and Nana have so many no joiner fee hotels in the nearby vicinity.

Here are the Names of 5 very Popular No Joiner Fee Hotels in Bangkok:


  1. Nana Hotel

  2. Majestic Suites

  3. Ambassador Hotel

  4. Grand President Hotel

  5. Swiss Park Hotel

A quick note, unregistered guest must provide an ID to security, which will be returned when they leave. It's just a security precaution to protect the hotel's guest.

A very popular alternative to booking standard hotels that is guest friendly is by staying in Serviced Apartments. Serviced apartments are typically meant for long term stays. However many welcome guest with short time stays. Most serviced apartments in Bangkok are run like any other hotel operation with the same types of hospitality such as housekeeping, desk reception, security and bell boys. Most even include a free breakfast in their rates. One of the most popular serviced apartment accommodations in Bangkok are Centre Point Serviced Apartments. They have about 7 different properties located throughout Bangkok, most of them near the commercial and main attraction areas.

Tips For Check In At Las Vegas Hotels - Tipping The Front Desk Clerk Helps You!

I am writing this article as a employee in a Las Vegas Hotel. Guest are well informed when it comes to certain things and take full advantage of the kindness of the Hotels and Casinos. The smallest inconvenience like a long wait in line, people ask for compensation. When it comes to Vegas the big thing is the request guest make. They request their rooms to be connecting on the same floor with a certain amount of beds smoking or non-smoking with a free upgrade. Even though most hotels can accommodate these request on a slow day, it is very difficult especially when you have this request and you are checking in at 10pm.

What people don't understand that this isn't your normal city. This is the number one vacation spot in the world, so when they come demanding this and they say, "Your this many stars or diamonds, so do it or compensate us", it is ridiculous that they think the hotels on the strip are empty enough to meet every request of every single guest. Yes, we meet 80 percent and the rest is hard to please. About 70% to 90% ask for a free upgrade. This is also a huge thing to do in a place that is big on views. So you think the Front Desk Agent would be the first person they tip good. Normally we are the last person to receive a tip.

Tipping the Front Desk Agent is the best way to help you get a better view or a better room there are discounts and other things that the Front Desk have access too that can make your trip. In the hotel industry, the people tip valet for parking a car and bellman for carrying luggage the best but the person who can make your vacation and save you a few hundred in discounts gets tipped the least. A lot of people take the free upgrades and run but never tip enough to get the other benefits. In Las Vegas, people think if they tell an agent their going to spend alot of money that the front desk agents will give them a free upgrade but the truth is that has no benefit to the Front Desk so it will probably not work unless you have a casino host and they already set your room up.

The other thing with Las Vegas is the suites in the good hotels are often controlled by the casino's and not the Front Desk and Hotel. When you ask for a upgrade to a suite at a hotel with a casino it is not going to happen for free unless there is a shortage of regular rooms which rarely happens and then you will be a lucky person because they will choose you by the reservation profile.

Yes, we have heard it all. 95% of reservations are booked in advance, so your request are not guaranteed, just your room is. The request will be met (except the free upgrade request), but the later you check in the more likely they will not be met on that day. More than likely you will have to go on a list of priority, but so many people let the request ruin there vacation.

The wait in line is shorter than Wal-mart. Do you ask Wal-mart for compensation? Do you say you were inconvenienced at Wal-mart by a bad shopping cart and ask for free food? I know a hotel room is alot more expensive, but if you take anything from this article hopefully you will have a better understanding how the hotels work in Las Vegas and maybe you can get that great room and discount your looking for without asking for compensation just because you can. Maybe you will start tipping the Front Desk, because they are the ones that can help you the most and the ones who work the hardest to please you.

Low Cost Airlines

When Malaysian businessman Tony Fernandes launched a no-frills, low-cost airline in 2002 with only two planes, few people realised the effect it would have. From only four routes, Air Asia set off a low-fare revolution that changed the face of the airline industry in the region. It is a stunning success story and now has 35 aircraft and flies millions of passengers across south-east Asia every year.

If you want to book a ticket with a low-cost carrier, the first trick is to find out which airlines serve your intended route. With lower advertising budgets than traditional airlines, this is often quite difficult. For your convenience we have listed the major budget carriers serving the two prime destinations - Singapore, Thailand.

Singapore:

The major budget carriers operating to and from this island state are JetStar Asia and Tiger Airways. JetStar Asia covers most major destinations in south-east asia, as well as Bangalore and Kolkata in India.

Tiger Airways covers Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand, Macau, and Padang in Indonesia. It is the only budget carrier direct to Vietnam from Singapore and the only budget choice to Australia, flying from Singapore to Darwin).

Thailand:

The three main operators in Thailand are Thai Air Asia, Nok Air and One-Two-Go. Thai AirAsia was launched in January 2004. Based primarily in Bangkok, the airline serves Thailand's major domestic destinations, as well as Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Kota Kinabalu), Singapore, Macau, Xiamen and Hanoi.

Nok Air, a subsidiary of Thai Airways International, flies from Bangkok to domestic destinations such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Udon Thani. One-Two-Go covers the major domestic routes within Thailand with fixed-price tickets.

As the number of people flying has increased, so has the demand for hotel accommodation and other products. Both Thailand and Singapore hotels are experiencing boom times as more people can afford to visit.
