He was booked into Pathumwan Princess unaware the hotel has gone completely non-smoking recently; including guest rooms. He survived only one night and hurriedly look for alternative the next morning.
The outcome was a pleasant surprise: Siam@Siam, a 1 year old hotel along Rama I Road across the National Stadium. The rate at Bth1,100 was good (walk-in rate tips over Bth4,000); booked through his travel agent from HK.
Though I passed Rama I occasionally, I never noticed its existence; probably obscured by the super structure of the National Stadium BTS terminal station.

The interior is hip, simple yet stylishly contemporary. View of the reception hall on Level 4.

Creative use of old materials is a signature of this hotel.

Room layout is modern; even the coffee table is tastefully designed and custom built. Room view with National Stadium BTS station & MBK Mall to left.

A short walk (200m perhaps) towards the direction of BTS is the Boss Apparels tailor where my friend ordered several suits enough to last him for a while!
The gentlemen of Boss Apparels, competitive prices and very professional in service!
I would recommend it if you are looking for a change. The location is excellent with convenient access to shopping and food; just off the busiest traffic zone of Siam Paragon & Central Plaza. Wise to book through travel agent abroad for a good rate.
