Reverie Siam

The timeless charm of a bygone era radiates from the Reverie Siam, a delightful riverside boutique hotel located on the outskirts of Pai. It is set on the banks of the River Pai and channels all the romance and elegance of the colonial era into its lovingly-designed rooms. Great attention to detail has gone into the styling of each space, with books casually laid open on sideboards, musical instruments adorning the walls, standard lamps offering subtle lighting and windows opening out onto glorious views of the exotic gardens and jungle and mountains beyond.

The elegantly refined rooms are similar in style with curios, art works and antiques offering a sense of nostalgia to the setting. The spacious villas have their own private garden area, while some rooms offer direct access to the two swimming pools, one a riverside infinity pool, the other a larger free-form pool. A riverside pavilion is a pleasant place to relax during the day, with riverside walks should you muster up the energy, while the intimate library is a quiet spot for an evening drink.

Contemporary Mediterranean dishes and a long list of tapas are available at the Silhouette Bar & Restaurant, though should you wish to venture into town for meals, the hotel operates a complimentary shuttle to and from Pai on request.
