"ps, I would like to take this opportunity to advise fellow TripAdvisor readers that work has recently commenced on neighboring land. First phase will be restoration of an old Thai House (into a museum) and riverfront parkland. The end result will be a lovely bonus for us. However in the short term, work has commenced on a new retaining wall which does involve some piling along the river. While there is no impact inside guest villas or suites, our riverside pool area will experience some audible disturbance at intermittent times between 9am and 6pm. There will be NO NOISE after 6pm or before 9am daily. For any concerned potential guests, please contact us directly at The Siam and we will be happy to expand further with the latest situation. Thanks for allowing me to explain this situation for clarify of all our guests, both current and in the near future."
