The Siam

Riverside Bangkok|1.84km from Wat Benchamabophit
We had the pleasure of staying at The Siam for 4 nights in early May 2022. Quarantine-free travel had just lifted so we were lucky to have almost the entire hotel to ourselves for a few days.. Our stay was amazing. The service was impeccable, our private butler (Tong) helped us out with all of our bookings and arrangements and was a great source of recommendations on top of the Bangkok guide provided by the hotel which was very helpful as well. We met the general manager, Nick, who was very accommodating and regularly checked in to make sure our stay was 100%. The hotel room we had was spacious and well decorated with a comfy kingsize bed. The interior of the hotel is like a combination of a palace meets museum, with antique art from around the world in every room and hallway. We found the library was a great place to do some quiet work (unfortunately that was required), and we made use of the private hotel boat to get anywhere on the river, such a fun (and quick!) way to get around Bangkok and avoid the sometimes busy traffic. The restaurant was also great - what better way to start the day than having breakfast overlooking the river. Would also recommend the Spa downstairs, a very relaxing way to recover from busy Bangkok, as well as making use of the “screening room” which is a small private cinema you can book whilst ordering from the room-service menu. We will certainly stay here again on our next trip to Bangkok, absolutely worth it and 10/10 recommended.

I originally booked for 2 nights, now been here 5, never want to leave, and have eaten some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life... breakfasts are 3 courses, different every day, and more like lunch or dinner. Ung is an amazing cook, and her and her husband Tak are lovely hosts. Yesterday's green curry with chicken & baby aubergines was better than the one in the Netflix streetfood doc, her barbecued pork melts in the mouth and is better than the juiciest bacon you've ever eaten, her Tom yum koong delicious, and how she can make a prawn omelette so fluffy and taste so wonderful is beyond me. And that was only 2 days of food (not to mention the desserts). The place itself is beautiful, calm, spotless - an old Thai wooden house, 2 stories, painted cream and green, with dark, polished wooden floors, full of interesting objects and beautiful old sepia photographs. My room has a little balcony with climbing pink jasmine and more that looks into the quiet alley and at night it smells heavenly. There's a fridge in the hallway with an endless supply of water in glass bottles, saving on money AND plastic. The courtyard is a little green paradise and I can hear at least 3 different kinds of birds and a gecko as I write this over the Tom yum koong. WiFi is fast, I have AC, an electric shower, the room is cute, big, though I know some of the others are quite small. I could quite happily live here for the rest of my life. The area is peaceful and safe. It's a five minute walk from Thewes Pier and a short ferry ride to both sky train and metro, a 10 minute bus ride from chatuchak market, 15 min walk from Khao San road (go once for a look, don't go back), and if you like a longer walk like me, to burn off the breakfast, the royal palace and Chinatown are about 45 mins to an hour on foot. There's a local market close by, at least three 7-11s within spitting distance, a local restaurant round the corner which is not bad but not up to Ung's standards, and at night a long chain of food stands along the canal that I've yet to try. If you're looking for party central this may not be your best choice but please don't look it over for the sake of a flat screen TV you can watch from bed. You could not regret coming here. And if you did, I'd say there was something not quite right about you. I love this place. Thank you Ung and Tak for making me so welcome.

I can't believe I forgot to leave a message for this place. We stayed here for 3 days as early as 2007. At the time, it was run by the government. It is in a place where tourists rarely go, right in the city center, after coming out of the hotel gate, you can go directly to sois (back street alleys) to experience the life of the locals. You can try to taste local food on the side of the main street or at the locals' homes. The leisure court walk, 10 minutes after the bus stop, is Thewet ”station”. Here you can take you to all the main tourist attractions in the city. Tricycles will be soon to the flea market. The design and decoration of the hotel are quite good, basically built using the surrounding recycled items (if I remember correctly, the original building is now also owned by the hotel). Don't be surprised to sleep in a second-hand bed or use a partition wall. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. A very beautiful map of the city centre hangs on the wall of the reception! Their cafe/restaurant offers really healthy vegetarian food. Despite having been two years, I can't forget their juices and drinks. My only complaint, a bit silly, is that this place is not allowed to smoke. As an old smoker, I have to walk out of the hotel every time to suck two. As I said, it is stupid, so it can't be used as a disadvantage at all. As a Thai friend said, the name of the hotel means “lie down, rest”. This is what you can really enjoy, or more.

Good service, very clean, cute room, minimalist style. But no TV and refrigerator. As for the mattress, it is a spring cushion where the upper cushion is so thin that it touches the spring. so sleeping is quite painful I would like to improve here a little bit.

Khaosan Road
We stayed here for 3 nights in one of the suites. The decor and furnishings are modern and chic. We had a very large bedroom with aircon and white linens. The bed was super comfortable and we slept well. The bathroom was huge with a free standing bath, 2 sinks in a vanity area with lots of space to put toiletries, separate area for toilet, and a large separate shower with rain shower. The towels are soft and fluffy and quality products are in the bathroom in large bottles. The bedrooms have sliding doors onto a deck with a table and chairs, which looks onto a water feature. There is also a beautiful large living and dining area and also a small kitchen area with complementary quality coffee, pastries, cereal, milk , jam, Nutella, peanut butter, toaster kettle and microwave. The utility has a washing machine and powder and an iron and ironing board. A home from home. The owner, Su is so friendly and helpful and we used her restaurant recommendations which were excellent. Su also helped when my husband had a issue with his sandals and got some glue for us . Next time we come to Bangkok we will stay here again. It is a great location for old Bangkok . We are travelling for 9m so it was great to be able to wash all our clothes here , can highly recommend this homestay

Khaosan Road
I booked two rooms for three nights. The room I was assigned at the beginning was next to the roadside. After staying for one night, it was too noisy. The motorcycles, tuk-tuk horns and the sound of the engine on the roadside. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I told the hotel that they would give me another room, and the hotel moved one to me! The sanitation is very good and the decoration is very new. It is a bit far to walk to Khao San Road, which takes 15-20 minutes. We took the children and the elderly to take tuk-tuks to Khao San Road and the Grand Palace! The Tuk-Tuk bus is a bit expensive, but the restaurant provided by the hotel is also good, good quality and cheap! If you must stay in the same room type, remember to book the more expensive one. The more expensive one faces inward and is not noisy. It is perfect.

Very good service attitude English communication is very convenient and a little Chinese. The environment is very clean and very relaxing. There is a swimming pool. The only drawback is that the sound of the motorcycle outside the window is a bit loud but does not affect It's midnight when I entered the house.
