garage #3 on trip advisor.
garage #3 on trip advisor.
i have a habit of checking tripadvisor when i am planning a trip up to PP just to see what new restaurants are getting good reviews and might be worth checking out. I was surprised to see garage has reached #3 of 464 and in only a month since its first review. I have honestly never made it in on previous trips as i tend to avoid that part of town but will be sure to drop in next time.

Rather check www.poo_advisor.com
Available in nutty/non-nutty/tom yum (you'll need flashplayer rapido), and tomato versions .
The webpage loads really quickly first thing in the morning.

Looks like packing your place full of internet nerds is really paying dividends!

Well, congrats anyway and I am sure it is well deserved. Whilst far from a regular, I do have to concede that your burgers are probably - no, undoubtedly - the best I have ever tasted....
Heard Mali and Topaz were both trying to headhunt you to get their crappy restaurants up to standard.
Malis and Topaz clearly don't give a sh*t about the tripadvisor ratings.
When Garage will start having his first and unfair bad reviews it will not come from a restaurant rated something like #350

Topaz a "crappy restaurant", yeah that's right, slightly above street food but with horrible service. I would love to read your review!dv8inpp wrote:Heard Mali and Topaz were both trying to headhunt you to get their crappy restaurants up to standard.

For a start, they are different restaurants with different management and one is maybe something like #30 and the other #320 on TripAdvisor so you can't bag them together.
If you want to know how Topaz fall down in ranking, ask the one who managed to kill the ratings of a lot of "competitors" this last 12 months or more. Alley Cat, Green Vespa, Firebird, Lone Star and a lot of others suffered from the same guy "protecting" his two (three) backpacker restaurants.
This multi restaurant co owner don't care about Topaz or the reputation of any other restaurant who dare threating his hard cheating earning ranks in Tripadvisor.How do we (you) know who that was? And why would said backpacker place owner care a wit about a place like Topaz?
He used to post up to 20 (and sometimes more) reviews BY DAY to keep his position and to undermine competitors.
Tens of restaurants suffered from terrible reviews, some restaurants even started a trip advisor "war" ones against others on the presumption bad reviews came from a direct "same food same market" competitor.

Topaz NOT Malis was caught and punished by TripAdvisor for writing fake reviews about it competitors. It was not punished for writing fake favorable reviews about itself.
Topaz ranking went down about 240 places overnight and all of it's good reviews remained and I know restaurants that had fake bad reviews removed at the same time.
These were not backpacker places but from same market competitors.
Topaz and Malis are different companies with different management but owned by the same company Thalias Co.,Ltd;
I have always had good meals at both Malis and Topaz and whilst I have been back to Malis after Topaz was caught out on TripAdvisor I can't bring myself to eat at or recommend Topaz to visiting friends.
I know that someone in that backpacker market was writing bad reviews (and no doubt good reviews for thier own place(s) too) but don't know anything about who it is, but yes it did fire up quite a few restaurant owners affected, but to call it a war is an overstatement.
I have a question for restaurant and Guesthouse owners
- How many of you have been contacted by individuals overseas promoting their services to improve your TripAdvisor ranking?
