Top travel website TripAdvisor recently announced its 2013 Travelers’ Choice Hotel Awards, compiled from its members’ reviews in 2012. For Thailand, the best hotel award goes to the long-established standalone property Rabbit Resort, in Pattaya, which also ranks #19 in Asia. Our top placing globally is in the Bed & Breakfasts and Inns category (well, the world expects us to be cheap and cheerful), where Baan Malinee Bed & Breakfast, in Phuket, is ranked #8. But judging by Baan Malinee’s website (we’ve never stayed there), there’s not much “bed & breakfast” about the place, as it features proper Thai pavilions and a swimming pool. Rates start from B2,300. For the complete list, visit th.tripadvisor.com/travelerschoice
