CEO, SIRI SALA

Industry : Business

Filipina entrepreneur Irma Go has long found beauty in the quiet elegance of Thai wooden houses. On boat rides through the city’s sleepy canals, she was captivated by the charm of rickety, stilted homes which were often overlooked in preservation efforts. In 2016, she and her husband Kirati Thepsoparn came across a dilapidated waterfront property in Bangkok Noi and saw an opportunity to preserve a piece of traditional Thai architecture. What followed was a five-year project to gently reimagine what Thai hospitality culture could look like in a modern context.

The result is Siri Sala, a full-service villa that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort. It is a place that is always proud to showcase the best of the local culture. Rebuilt using salvaged wood and original architectural details, Siri Sala is a reflection of Go’s vision: to preserve and reinterpret Thai culture through design. Through her vision and leadership, the space has found success and was featured in Mike White’s acclaimed series The White Lotus, offering this riverfront villa a global audience.
