Traditional Thai Teak Houses
In the early days, the owners of Suan Sampran bought 100-year old Thai houses, built entirely of teak from local farmers in Nakhon Pathom. The antique Thai houses were lovingly restored and placed around the property’s central lake. The interior remains authentic in Thai decor and renovations were made to include modern amenities essential to today’s lifestyle. Since its reconstruction, the lakeside houses on stilts have been a picturesque trademark of Suan Sampran. Each of the houses is named after a Thai flower that grows at the entrance of the house. The 5 unique traditional Thai Houses with lush gardens and views of the serene lake provide suitable lodging options for families, honeymooners or a group of friends looking for an authentic Thai experience near Bangkok.

Thai Cooking Class
Sampran Riverside provides cooking classes on a riverside floating pier ‘Ruen Pae’ or on a riverside terrace. The main focus of the cooking classes is to educate participants on the balance of tastes and health benefits of traditional Thai food. Popular Thai dishes are selected for each class and participants are shown how to prepare them using mostly organic ingredients and traditional cooking methods by an experienced chef.
For a back to basics approach to traditional Thai cooking, a visit to the Organic Farm to pick your own fresh ingredients can be made before you start cooking.
Patom & Spa
Patom Organic Spa is located in a lakeside antique Thai house. Treatment ranges from traditional thai to relaxing oil massages. What makes our spa an unforgettable experience are the fresh organic ingredients used in our treatments.
Sampran Riverside has its own house brand of homemade herbal products under Patom. All soaps, shampoos, body lotion, conditioner and other body care products are handmade in-house using raw materials from our organic farm or sourced from local farmers.
Dining
Suan Sampran has 3 restaurants offering a variety of cuisines such as Thai, International and Western. The restaurants enjoy a plentiful supply of fresh herbs, coconut, vegetables and spices from our own certified Organic Farm across the river as well as local organic farms. We produce approximately a tonne of vegetables and fruits per month on our own Patom Organic Farm and buy on average 3 tonnes of organic rice, 6 tonnes of organic vegetables and 3 tonnes of organic fruits directly from local farmers, accounting to 65% of our total kitchen consumption. We are able to recycle approximately 200 litres of cooking oil into biodiesel every month and compost 54 tonnes per year of our food waste.
