Boutique in BKK: Ibrik, Arun, Aurum

I am lucky (or the tourist slump in Thailand is serious): three charming hotels on the riverside have a room in the days I need.

Now it is impossible to decide. Anyone who knows these boutique hotels can point to a definite favorite?

I know that Ibrik is on the other side of the river, and slightly cramped (we will share the bed with our small kid), but they have a lovely room for us right on the water (sunshine). Arun seems more posh, But the room they have, Chaba, does not seem too appealing. Aurum seems less characteristic.

How are they position wise, not only for tourism but to take a stroll and grab a bite in the evening?

Any winner?

Thank you

Where is a decent place to buy AMs in Bangkok for travel to Burma?

Help...Itinerary Check?, Idyllic Wedding Location?, & Coral Bleaching?

Hi All,

So before I ask my questions, here is a small summary and yes I have done extensive research over the past 2 months on this forum and appreciate the great insight...

We are a couple in our mid-thirties, heading to Thailand for 23 days during the last week of March. We are active, but don't climb and planning on spending a lot of time chillin' on the beach, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, yoga, spa, eating, and drinking (not really much into the party scene anymore). We are also planning on a wedding ceremony for just the 2 of us with a local/Buddhist theme. Official/legal stuff will be taken care of back in the States. This is our honeymoon and therefore not on a tight budget.

Questions:

• Any suggestions for an absolutely beautiful location for an intimate, romantic, and tiny (just us and the people helping us put it on) wedding ceremony? We will most likely ...

Dermatologist recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a dermatologist anywhere from Chiang Mai to Phuket? Nothing major, I just need a skin cancer screening.

Opinions on best places to go!

Hey,
I'm travelling to Thailand for a month in August, and was wondering where people think the best places to go are and anywhere they would recommend?
I visited before for two weeks and went to Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Phagnan and Koh Tao.. but this time I want to visit some different places as well as these, am particularly interested in the North and also Phuket, however I'm on a budget so was wondering if it was too expensive?
Also the best ways to get around and to each island?
Any suggestions will be helpful!
Thank you :)
