Meridian Siam

By introduction · Melbourne & Siam

For a few Thai families, we arrange the journey — and remove everything else.

Japan, Korea, China and Australia: planned in full, carried lightly, and never in a hurry.

The house

Meridian Siam is a private travel house, held between Melbourne and Siam.

We work with a small number of Thai families who prefer their travel considered rather than sold. We keep no catalogue and run no campaigns. Each journey begins with a conversation and ends only when you are home — unhurried, and well.

What we do

Design
A journey shaped around your family — not a package fitted to it.
Access
Doors that sit on no list: houses, tables and hours held for a single party.
Passage
Flights, transfers and the seams between them, arranged to disappear.
Care
One person who knows the whole of your trip — reachable in Thai, at any hour.

An enquiry

We take on a small number of families each season, by introduction. If you have been pointed our way — or would like to be — write to us.

We reply personally, never with a mailing list — and nothing you tell us is ever shared.
