    I have had the pleasure of staying at this establishment. You are made to feel as if it is your home not a hotel. I will never forget my stay ever. It was a special moment in a garden with finches just landing on me actually thinking I was all alone. Then I got up and a staff member got on his knees and asked to hold my hands in his. What a moment for the two of us...we never saw each other again. I’ve stayed many times. Very Special magical holiday destination.

    I loved the Siam when I stayed. Amazing service, and is truly a oasis paradise in Bangkok. They also have amazing cooking classes and an awesome boutique with products for great causes (such as save the elephants). The vinyl room was my favorite hangout spot. They had the original Star Wars soundtrack which I had to play 😂

    What a classy and nostalgic hotel. I'd love to stay there someday. I can't believe it's "inside" Bangkok. I'd probably feel as if I'm hundreds of miles away from the capital while experiencing the stay. A real "retreat" from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok ! Merci for uploading this wonderful video.

    Someone questioned my comments from your review of the beachside resort at Phuket some 3/4 weeks ago, when I stated that I felt it lacked any sort of ambience. This is what I alluded to. Although this hotel is not very old, it has that sort of understated elegance that I like, and is somewhere I could happily spend some down time in. It may not suit everyone, but to someone of my age, it is a place I could happily stay at.

  • @parmenides2576
    @parmenides2576 Год назад +2

    To any discerning travelers reading this, I just stayed at the Siam at while it is a 5 star hotel with regards to Bangkok and a lot of cities, it is not some magical urban oasis. The interior design of the lobby is pretty cool and the staff is great (but that goes for anywhere in Thailand), but rooms were kind of dirty and had HORRENDOUS fixtures. The lights had visible holes in the wall around them, the sink faucets were loose and would swivel around when using them, there were scratches and chipped paint everywhere. All of that is manageable and I doubt Bangkok has many better alternatives, but it is good to set expectations when spending that much money at what is supposed to be a 5 star resort. Also the food there, while edible, was the worst food of our whole trip.

    Ooooh...aaaahhhh, this is luscious. Although like you, I prefer a more understated elegance a la Aman or Four Seasons, The Siam makes up with serenity what it importunes with kitschy collectibles. And as always, I compliment your content-maker virtuosity. I'm a sucker for good architectural/horticultural set pieces, and you exploit them so artfully. They punctuate your videos like gently unfolding discoveries. The Siam is especially rich in them; the courtyard, the atrium, the garden beyond the Vinyl Room, the pool, the river decks, garden vistas. In my travel daydreams I know I'll be arriving at The Siam by boat, at least for a while, until another of your videos captures my imagination. Thanks!

And like all documentary shows you do not have the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes etc, and all the steps to reach all the places inside the hotel.
    Great job to show us this and all the other outstanding places and bravo for your skills to play “cache-cache” wirh us !
    Btw, the lady on the boat is charming, if she is sharing this trip with you you are a lucky man.
    Just wondering, do you really eat all that by yourself on the same meal or do you ask for filming from other guests dishes ?

    Great video as usual, if only emptied of people, as usual !
    I am not sure about staying in that sort of place; it looks deprived of warmth, a bit too much over the top if you know what Imean, a bit too much "designer" ! It's very beautiful all the same and credit must be given to all who made it happened. I stayed at the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok in the late 60's before the expansion it went thru and that was lovely.
    I stayed at Raffles Singapore before the renovations and I enjoyed it very much. It was old fashion, quiet and very confortable, although food and drinks were so expensive one had to think twice before indulging. I actually see traces of Rafles in the Siam ..
    I love going to Thailand and I would certainly enjoy the private boat on the river. Last time I stayed at the "Muse", a boutique hotel, and that was great except that dining in the downstairs restaurant was poor value for money. Fortunately there was a restaurant nearby !

    I stayed there last August. Very nice and beautiful -- the most beautiful hotel i've ever stayed in by far. Truly feels exclusive; taxi cab drivers seem kind of shocked when you ask them to take you to the Siam at the end of the night. It's rare to see any other guests, in my experience. If you want tranquility and lack of contact then choose this hotel -- i'd say this is a great hotel if you're famous and want to avoid the common people. I like a hotel with more people around and some commotion.
