Bespoke Private Journeys and Tours Immersive Cultural Experiences in Thailand.

Rock Around Siam is a Bangkok-based boutique travel agency dedicated to creating bespoke private journeys and immersive cultural experiences, designed to explore Thailand beyond conventional itineraries.
We design private cultural journeys — themed or fully bespoke — far from conventional itineraries, connecting discerning travellers with Siam’s heritage: history, arts, architecture, design, communities, nature, gastronomy, traditions, and festivals.

Each journey is conceived as a composition. We give meaning to every itinerary through themes rooted in Siam’s history, carefully contextualised storytelling, appropriate modes of transport, and a meticulous selection of accommodation. Not to mention the details — deliberately not disclosed here — that make our experiences truly distinctive.

Whether you are looking for a private day tour, themed or tailor-made, or a complete journey across Thailand, we support you at every step: from your first message, to your arrival, throughout your stay, and right through to your departure from the country.

Thai heritage by passion. Travel artisan by nature. Boutique by choice.

We work as true travel artisans: intentionally boutique, driven by an uncompromising attention to detail. Every experience is private, thoughtfully crafted, and enriched with the context that gives meaning, transforming a remarkable place into an unforgettable story.

Bangkok

Rock Around Bangkok unfolds as an immersive exploration programme designed to provide a deeper understanding of the capital’s history since the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, through three complementary themes, each revealing a distinct facet of Siam’s heritage. These itineraries are tailored for travellers seeking intellectual depth, aesthetic refinement and authentic encounters beyond conventional tourism.

Rock Around Creative District

This journey explores Bangkok’s creative pulse, where contemporary art, architecture, design, antiques and street art form a constant dialogue between memory and modernity. From the cultural revival of Charoen Krung, whose emblematic alleyways have been transformed by street art, to institutions dedicated to design, contemporary art and antiques, alongside a remarkably legible post-colonial architectural heritage, the itinerary narrates the transformation of historic districts. It deciphers how Bangkok continually reinvents itself while preserving the traces of its mercantile and cosmopolitan past.

Rock Around Rattanakosin

Here unfolds the foundational story of Bangkok. Through royal monuments, military fortifications, networks of moats and canals, sacred temples and ministerial buildings erected under Italian influence at the end of the nineteenth century, the itinerary retraces the city’s trajectory from its foundation in 1782 to 1932, when the absolute monarchy became constitutional following a coup d’état. This day is devoted to history, power, faith and the symbolism of Buddhism and Hindu cosmology — a profound reading of the historical, spiritual and political DNA of the Thai capital.

Rock Around Bang Krachao

The cycling exploration of Bang Krachao, a peninsula shaped at the end of the eighteenth century for strategic purposes and affectionately known by Bangkokians as the “green lung”, highlights, on the one hand, the capital’s exposure to major risks such as pollution and flood management, and, on the other, the responses developed by public authorities. The itinerary reveals an insular way of life grounded in the principles of the Sufficiency Economy, the implementation of alternative methods in agriculture and agroforestry, the preservation of Mon community heritage, and innovative — sometimes surprising — ecological initiatives.

Rock Around Bangkok is a unique experience, naturally enhanced by carefully selected culinary stops and paired with charming boutique properties whose atmosphere extends the narrative of the day.

Ayutthaya

Rock Around Ayutthaya offers a thematic immersive journey through the former capital of the Kingdom of Siam, with an optional extension to Lopburi. Conceived as a one-, two- or three-day programme, it is designed for travellers seeking a clear, structured and in-depth understanding of the region’s historical, artistic and diplomatic foundations.

Beyond the monuments and royal vestiges, the experience also invites guests to savour refined local culinary traditions and to stay in exceptional boutique riverside properties, carefully selected to echo the spirit and narrative of the journey.

Kachanaburi

Rock Around Kanchanaburi unfolds as a striking immersive journey through landscapes where tropical wilderness, dreamlike river scenery, the haunting memory of the Second World War and its Death Railway, and a profound spiritual heritage converge. Designed as a one- or two-day programme, it is crafted for travellers seeking an authentic and meaningful exploration of the region’s historical, memorial, spiritual and natural dimensions.

The journey is further enriched by local culinary delicacies and overnight stays in exceptional boutique hotels, discreetly nestled along the River Kwai, where nature and contemplation meet in quiet elegance.

Expand our cultural experiences across the whole of Thailand.

Beyond Bangkok, Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya, Rock Around Siam is gradually expanding its itineraries to other emblematic regions of the Kingdom: Sukhothai and its foundational remains, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai at the crossroads of Lanna and Burmese influences, Mae Salong and Mae Hong Son in the mountainous borderlands, Isaan with its Khmer and village traditions, and the Andaman Sea coastline in the south, where sublime national parks, breathtaking shores and peaceful fishing communities form an exceptional and still-preserved ecosystem.

Each destination is designed according to the same “Rock Around” signature: immersive journeys, off the beaten path, structured around culture, history, religions, art, nature, gastronomy, local communities, festivals and living traditions. Far from standardised tourism, we prioritise meaningful encounters, contextual understanding and an intelligent reading of place.

Each themed day is complemented by distinctive accommodation — boutique hotels, nature lodges or floating villas — carefully selected to extend the narrative and atmosphere of the experience. What emerges is a curated collection of bespoke journeys, where each region reveals a singular facet of Siam, shaped by discreet elegance and thoughtful exploration.

Dreamlike properties

We work with a carefully curated selection of dreamlike properties across Thailand, luxury hotels, boutique hotels, lodges, floating villas and other exceptional retreats, chosen for their rarity, intimate atmosphere and strong sense of place.

Each property is selected to mirror the theme of the day, offering discreet luxury, outstanding service and a seamless continuation of the experience, from Bangkok to the most secret corners of Siam.

Local delicacies

We love introducing you to Thai specialities and the pleasures of the table while strolling off the beaten track (and yes, they still exist): between markets, family-run eateries, canal-side kitchens and little street stalls beloved by the locals. We choose these places for the quality of their regional ingredients, their seasonal dishes and their recipes passed down from generation to generation.

Each tasting is designed so that you can simply savour Thailand through its most authentic flavours, without worrying about anything other than the sheer pleasure of eating.
