The Siam

Central sophistication ▪️ Bangkok
Thailand
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Amidst the chaos of Bangkok and its plethora of international high-rise hotels, the Siam Bangkok is a serene, boutique gem that radiates old-school glamour.

Designed by acclaimed architect Bill Bensley, this urban retreat successfully fuses traditional Thai style with art deco design. Its riverfront location is accessible via the hotel’s private speedboat service: just a 25-minute journey upstream from the city’s central pier.

The suites and villas are incredibly spacious and exude elegant luxury. Original artwork and Thai antiques sit beside flat screen TVs, and a personal butler is on hand to attend to your every need. The Riverview Suites enjoy stunning uninterrupted views over the Chao Phraya River, but for the ultimate in luxury and privacy upgrade to one of the ten Pool Villas. Peruse the antiques dotted around the hotel and let the jazz tunes coming from the Deco bar set the mood. It’s safe to say this hotel offers plenty of panache.

Why we love it

“Pure opulence, but in a down to earth way. It didn’t feel pretentious at all.”

City experience

View from The Siam over the river

The Siam is not just another stopover hotel, it’s an experience in itself. There’s a 3 night minimum stay, but for good reason, allowing you to soak up the grandeur and experience everything that’s on offer (which is a lot!) The location is ideal for exploring the temples, museums and wonders of Bangkok before heading back to your exclusive villa for complete relaxation with a cocktail or two, delivered by your friendly and attentive personal butler. Forget 3 nights, we think you’ll need 7!

What can you do there?

Thai massage at The Siam

When it comes to hotel ‘firsts’, The Siam boasts the city’s only hotel screening room (complete with retro velvet cinema seats!) and its own Muay Thai boxing ring where you can sign up for a Thai boxing lesson. For more relaxing pursuits, pampering and indulgence, there’s a riverfront infinity pool, hammam-inspired bath house and heavenly spa. When it comes to dining, choose from an international menu in the art deco inspired bar and bistro (breakfast is well worth getting up for) and enjoy the sunset river views and local specialities at the Chon Thai Restaurant. Don’t leave without trying a Siam Martini – divine.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Alice, Sri Lanka

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.
