The Siam
Elegant boutique retreat with old-world charm


On the banks of the river in Dusit, The Siam is a serene 39-room hotel with a chic colonial feel. A monochrome palette dominates the interiors with black and white bathrooms in all of the Art-Deco-inspired bedrooms. Artefacts abound with Chinese ceramic work, vintage books and curios on display. There is also an excellent spa, cooking school, a Thai restaurant housed in a traditional teak house, outside pool and a Muay Thai boxing ring complete with instructors.
