Many, many thanks for this extraordinarily informative report. I really enjoyed reading it and will read it over and over again, I am sure.

Having read your report, I am wondering (and please correct me if I am wrong), that Amantaka and Amansara are not as much 'destination resorts', but rather, the best places to stay when visiting Angkor Wat and Laos. Am I correct that these two resorts are indeed wonderful, but not "resorty" like Amanpuri? Not sure if I am getting myself across....
