The Sukosol Family

Fondly dubbed the โ€˜musical hoteliersโ€™ of Thailand, the Sukosol family are a multi-lingual, multi-tasking, multi-skilled, multi-talented business dynasty.

Since our illustrious leader, Kamala, started it all 30 years ago, we have sojourned in a smorgasbord of establishments: from homey abodes to private palaces.

What inspires us most is the perfect balance of individuality, gracious service, cultural charm and a sense of serendipity. And we believe you will find that right here with us at The Siam.
