I have traveled a great deal and have stayed in some wonderful hotels but The Siam was surely the best and most special hotel experience of my 74 years. Starting with a most gracious and friendly welcome by Nick, the hotel general manager, to the tour of the property and, at each turn, being wowed by every indoor and outdoor area, to being shown our beautifully appointed, luxurious, comfy suite, and finally to having some of the best Thai food at the restaurant at the hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute we were at the hotel. And throughout our too short, two day stay, Nick and his staff were so helpful in making sure we could make the most of our first visit to Bangkok. An added plus is the hotel’s location on the river and how guests can use the dock at the hotel to catch scheduled boats and be dropped off at historic sites and restaurants, thus avoiding what is often gridlock on the roads. I can recommend this hotel any more highly and hope to return one day soon.
