TREASURE HUNT

Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, the Bill Bensley-designed The Siam Hotel celebrates its fifth anniversary, as it continues to draw design lovers looking to escape the chaos of Bangkok and revel in a boutique urban luxury resort. The appeal, however, isn’t just its off-thebeaten-track location, colonial-inspired interiors or renowned hospitality; the real highlight is communing with the wellcurated collection of antiques peppered throughout the space. Every nook and cranny is livened up with a slice of history, which apparently only makes up a small part of the owner’s full collection. Learn more about the making of this special hotel and the treasures it holds in a coffee-table book to be released later this year. thesiamhotel.com
