Infinity Pool, The Siam, Bangkok, Thailand

The Siam

City
Bangkok, Thailand

The hotel is nestled amongst Bangkok’s historic palaces, temples and museums. A spacious property with suites, courtyard villas (some with private pools) and the delightful Connie’s Cottage – a century-old Thai teak house, now a pool villa, the Siam offers a relaxed and informal retreat in an otherwise hectic city.

With a blend of art deco and traditional influences, the Siam is one of the most stunning properties in the city. There are regular boat shuttles plying the river making city access easy. With three acres of gardens, hidden courtyards and four restaurants and bars, the Siam really is an oasis of calm and style.

Why we like The Siam

The Siam feels more like a grand Thai home, full of art, antiques and personality with some of the buildings being sourced from the original houses of Jim Thompson, Thailand’s original silk merchant – it is beyond stylish.

Facilities

An award-winning spa
Hair and nail salon
Gym
Riverside pool
A fabulous cooking school

Activities

The Siam have worked hard on a bespoke collection of activities available at, or from the hotel. Try your hand at Thai boxing, Muay Thai, take a sunset cruise on their refurbished rice barge or for the brave, have a traditional Sak Yant tattoo. From the hotel explore the key sites of Bangkok such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun but also the lesser-known spots such as Chinatown, home to pop up galleries and gin bars.

Paul's knowledge and expertise was invaluable when planning this trip. I told him where we wanted to go and the sort of hotels and things we wanted to do and everything was spot on - more than we ever expected! We will definitely be using Steppes Travel for future trips.

Thailand and Vietnam

Amy really understood the type of holiday we were looking for with a real mixture of accommodation and activities ranging from relaxing to exciting. When I asked for a private pool on the beach that's exactly what she delivered. Amy embraced every request, making sure they blended, giving us something new and exciting at every turn. The ethos of Steppes travel is what will always set you aside. Thank you and keep up the good work.
