Siri Sala Private Thai Villa — Hotel in Arun Ammarin Subdistrict

OK, we LOVE Bangkok for her energy, her vibrant street scene, her gastronomic pleasures and bombardment of beautiful sights and sounds BUT, when your soul is crying for a timeout look no further than Siri Sala. |Imagine arriving by private boat to your cool lush oasis in the heart of downtown BKK. The rarest of gems is hiding in plain sight. |Yes, it IS possible to skip the traffic nightmare of BKK! - Siri Sala can arrange your pickup riverside. Float down the Chao Praya past the Royal Palaces and barges and prepare to be greeted like the rock star (you know you are - tell yourself “I deserve this!”)|This very private historic home was lovingly restored and updated with every comfort in mind. Your personal butler will help you settle in and point out the features of Siri Sala - perhaps a quick dip in the lap pool and an icy mojito topped with fresh herbs from the garden? Or a relaxing massage while the chef prepares your gourmet dinner. |This home sleeps up to 16 in several separate quarters so guests can enjoy peace and solitude when needed. Or, gather the gang after dinner, (like we did), tickle the ivories on the Yamaha piano and pop some bubbles (great wine list) and try your hand at a new card game - the music/card Sala is actually the oldest, historic part of the original house from which the other parts of this home were added as needs grew. |Thank you Irma and Art for preserving this architectural gem and offering a sanctuary for travelers looking for “next level”...

Not long ago, my team and I had the privilege of visiting this extraordinary venue to help curate a wedding celebration for a wonderful bride and groom. From the very beginning, we felt a sense of intimacy and were warmly welcomed by the entire staff, whose hospitality was both sincere and effortless. The space itself is beautifully open and serene in every corner, offering a calm and inviting atmosphere. What makes this house truly special is its story—a natural journey passed down from generation to generation, carrying a sense of destiny that flows gracefully from the past into the present. With its versatile layout, the house offers a variety of areas that can be tailored for different kinds of gatherings. Each corner is thoughtfully designed and seamlessly connected to the surrounding environment, creating a narrative that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. One of the most captivating aspects is the presence of natural sunlight, gently weaving through every part of the space throughout the day. As a photographer, I found this incredibly inspiring—it made me instinctively reach for my camera again and again. Here are a few moments I captured, and I’d love to share them...

I had a wonderful staycation at Siri Sala with my family! The couple who ran this villa and their staff were very attentive and took care of all my family's needs -- truly exceptional service. As for the villa itself, I could really see that the owners made sure to maintain the traditional feel of the house but also upscaled it to make it look very luxurious. There are 6 bedrooms, all with different styles, and I especially loved the bathrooms! There are also multiple common areas where my family could chillax and bond (board games, read, listened to music, and even worked on our laptops) and little ponds inside that kept the vibe very zen. The views were amazing (especially the sunrise/sunset) as it is right beside the Bangkok Noi river (we got a free boat ride too!) The food was restaurant quality and was tailored to my family's preferences (we are very picky eaters). Definitely a more suitable place to bond with friends / family than other hotels in my opinion + have never seen a place...
