The White Lotus Comes to Life on the Bangkok Noi Canal
Step into the pivotal scene from The White Lotus Season 3: as dusk settles over the water, a boat glides toward Siri Sala—a dramatic riverside villa where a long-awaited confrontation unfolds. Once the secret lair of the enigmatic Jim Hollinger, this secluded estate is now open to guests.
After three years as an exclusive buyout-only property and member of Small Luxury Hotels, Siri Sala now welcomes individual travelers starting in 2026. Stay in one of five exquisitely restored Thai stilt houses, each featuring artisan details, private terraces, and seamless access to Bangkok’s historic canal network.

From Ruin to Residence
Ten years ago, owners Irma Go and Kirati Thepsoparn spotted three decaying traditional Thai stilt houses on the Bangkok Noi canal—noble in form but near collapse. After a year of searching, they rediscovered the same property relisted and began a five-year restoration.
Authentic Reconstruction
Architects deemed the structures unsalvageable, so they meticulously rebuilt using original elements. A 100-year-old Heritage House was disassembled and reassembled on-site. Floorboards became dining tables; window frames were preserved. The result honors Thai craftsmanship while offering modern comfort.
Siri Sala’s location in a quiet residential canal neighborhood offers a serene contrast to central Bangkok’s bustle—ideal for travelers seeking authenticity and calm.
