Arrive and depart in style at the St. Regis Singapore.
The St. Regis Singapore offers Bentley service to/from the airport - at a price of course!

A bed you will not want to leave.
I don't know what thread count sheets can go up to, but this bed has got the maximum. A push button light console lets you choose your mood from "cozy" to "reading" and the butler is always just a buzzer away in case you want your coffee in bed.

You almost don't want to get them dirty.
I haven't been to Versailles yet, but I imagine the sinks in there must be similar to the ones in the St. Regis Singapore.

Incredible luxury at the St. Regis Singapore
Marble, marble everywhere and even a TV embedded in the mirror to watch while you soak in the tub.

Capturing Ghosts
The abandoned casino at the Bokor Hill Station makes for a creepy photographic subject. It is said that the cliff behind the once bustling casino was used by many a bust gambler.

The smiling bartender at Riki Tiki Tavi
In the sleepy town of Kampot in southern Cambodia, the Riki Tiki Tavi bartender will quench your thirst with a cold beer or a single-malt from their extensive collection.

For Sale! Needs work...
Even though crumbling French colonial shop houses abound in Kampot, there is apparently a huge real estate bubble going on in this sleepy riverside town.

Kampot is a sleepy place.
Unlike in the capital, you should have no worries walking in the street in Kampot. The only thing that might run you over is a lone durian merchant.

The French colonial shophouses of Kampot
Don't worry about locking your bicycle up in the sleepy riverside town of Kampot. But do check out the Epic Arts Cafe, a small NGO-run place that employs local people with disabilities.

Elephant Bar La Folie Lodge
La Folie Lodge on tiny Don Daeng island in the middle of the Mekong River is the perfect base to explore the ancient Khmer ruins of Wat Phou. It is the sole hotel on an island that only got electricity a few months ago, but has all the comforts one requires. It has twenty-four air conditioned rooms in picturesque bungalows complete with balconies and spacious bathrooms. A good sized swimming pool is a life saver after a bicycle ride around the island and the restaurant and bar will keep you satisfied for a couple of days. The staff is super friendly, as is the resident German shepherd and her new pup. The town of Champasak and Wat Phou are a short boat ride across the Mekong. La Folie opened in late 2007 and is sure to set the standard in this quiet section of southern Laos.
