It’s official: Bangkok’s most exciting riverside destination is fully up and running, and for guests that means it’s full speed ahead for dining, relaxing and socializing.
Siam Yacht Club – where Old Siam meets the modern metropolis alongside the majestic River of Kings – announces its grand opening with a gala event held on 17 March and, to further mark the occasion, is now offering three very special offers.
 
Set in Bangkok’s Yaowarat/Charoen Krung Road neighborhood – one of the city’s oldest and lately most vibrant districts – Siam Yacht Club at Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel & Towers entices river cruisers and landlubbers alike with its distinctive five-star sense of place. This is where for centuries merchants, traders, travelers and explorers have converged to do business, report news and relate stirring tales of adventure.
 
That same time-honored heritage now continues at Siam Yacht Club – and in an ultramodern setting with the captivating skyline of metropolitan Bangkok as backdrop.
 
SYC’s well-arranged venues are enhanced by a delightful nautical-themed ambience and feature outstanding views of the Chao Phraya River. The restaurant and lounging spaces, each with its own mood and feel, are spread across 600 square meters and comprise 50 indoor and 150 outdoor seats in addition to a VIP room for up to 12 guests.
