Artful Surroundings and Aesthetic Indulgence
Guests at The Siam are immediately enveloped by a curated world of vintage curiosities and elegant décor—an ideal backdrop for savoring two distinct afternoon tea sets that promise both flavor and refinement. The standard Afternoon Tea Set, priced at THB 1,250++ per person or THB 2,350++ per couple, offers a comprehensive selection of tea or coffee alongside an impeccable array of bite-sized delights. For those desiring a more spirited affair, the Hendrick’s Afternoon Tea Set—priced at THB 1,950++ per person or THB 3,750++ per couple—includes not just the full array of treats but also a glass of Hendrick’s Gin, available in Classic or Flora Adora styles.
An Elevated Culinary Medley
The savory selections on both sets read like a masterclass in artisanal crafting: truffled egg finger sandwiches, brioche rolls filled with Paris ham and brie, crab and gruyere quiche, and Peking duck rice paper rolls with hoi sin sauce. A salmon tartare cornetto brings a modern flair to the otherwise traditional ensemble.
Complementing the savory bites is a beautifully curated selection of sweets—soft chocolate and salted caramel honeycomb tarts, profiteroles with rosewater custard and candied pistachios, blueberry ricotta tarts, chocolate raspberry tortes, and the ever-popular lemon meringue tarts. Traditional plain and raisin scones are served warm with clotted cream, strawberry jam, and lemon curd, ensuring the afternoon tea purist is not left wanting.
Tea Pairings that Tell a Story
The beverage menu is as much a journey as the food. Specialty teas such as House of Magic (a blend of black tea, bael fruit, vanilla, saffron, jasmine, and lime essential oil), and The Flower Garden Tea (a fragrant infusion of mountain-grown black tea with orange oil, jasmine, rose, and chamomile), reflect the hotel’s commitment to both organic sourcing and aromatic sophistication. Meanwhile, adventurous drinkers may explore Kanomthai, a blend inspired by traditional Thai desserts, or Homkhao, a roasted green tea imbued with the comforting aroma of freshly cooked rice.
Arriving in Style with The Siam’s Signature Cruise
Completing this luxurious experience is The Siam’s private cruise shuttle—a scenic 25-minute boat ride from the Taksin Bridge BTS Station. The tranquil journey along the Chao Phraya River adds an exclusive touch, immersing guests in the charm of old Bangkok before disembarking at the hotel’s private pier. Seating is limited and reservations for the boat are encouraged.
A Timeless Escape Worth Experiencing
The Siam’s Afternoon Tea service goes beyond just a meal—it is an orchestrated experience that appeals to all senses, offering a retreat into refinement and tradition with just the right splash of contemporary flair. As Bangkok’s hospitality industry continues to evolve and compete, this offering stands as a benchmark for creativity, attention to detail, and atmospheric brilliance. For travelers and locals alike, it presents an opportunity to pause, sip, and savor amidst a setting that feels almost cinematic in its elegance. This is not just afternoon tea—it is a ritual worth repeating.
