Upon returning to the hotel, guests will cook and then enjoy three delicious dishes of their choice. Whether participants are first-timers or seasoned chefs, they will never forget cooking under a traditional Thai teakwood house, overlooking the Chao Phraya River.

The Golden Naga has been refurbished with cruising comfort in mind. From the luxury of the stern or rooftop daybeds, guests will enjoy the most stunning views of the Bangkok waterfront including sunset and nighttime views of the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Chinatown and the Bangkok skyline.

The boat is available for private sunset charters for dinner or just cocktails and canapés. We also arrange small group excursions, however, seating is limited to 8 passengers.

Muay Thai is not simply a fighting sport, it also helps to increase fitness and emotional wellbeing. The Siam’s gymnasium is the first professionally equipped luxury Muay Thai facility in Bangkok. The hotel offers training programmes suitable for beginners to advanced, and from one day to one week training courses. The experienced Muay Thai trainers will work with guests individually based on their abilities and fitness levels.

The Siam has integrated an ancient Thai tradition with the opening of a specially consecrated space devoted to the inking of sacred tattoos. Yant is a traditional form of tattooing magical ancient geometric and deity symbols with Buddhist prayers onto the body. These yants impart magical powers of luck, protection, charisma, and fortune onto the wearer. Ajarn Boo, the in-house tattoo artist inks all tattoos by hand using traditional khem. Ajarn’s recommendation is to begin with a simple Hah Taew (5 Line Yant) or Gao Yord (9 Line Yant) to ensure that guests can handle the nature of the experience.

Guests at The Siam are just a short luxury cruise boat ride away from all of Bangkok’s riverside attractions. With both open air and air-conditioned seating available, there is no better way to get around Bangkok.
