It was my first B&B

Thank you for a beautiful stay in your gorgeous home. It was my first B&B, and it won't be the last! I enjoyed talking with Nok and hearing about her culture. The food was amazing, and I enjoyed the quiet room. I'll definitely be back. Than you again.

What a beautiful and serene place to stay.

Dear John & Nok I have never stayed at a bed&breakfast before, but I'm afraid you may have spoiled me for others. What a beautiful and serene place to stay. I chose the Siam because our son met up with his "future" wife for the second time in Thailand. They for married this summer and went on honeymoon there. I knew if they drawn back to Thailand that it must be very special. I may not ever travel to Thailand; but I feel like I experience a little bit of it here - Thanks to you. I will definitely be back. Thank You.

We recommend it and the owners enthusiastically without reservation.

I have stayed in many hotels/motels and eaten breakfast in those places. The Siam Bed and Breakfast in Potsdam, NY, far exceeds all of them. Besides staying in hotels in the U.S.A. I have also stayed in hotels and had breakfast in London, Edinburgh, Jordan, and Jerusalem, plus a Kibbutz in Israel. My wife Lou and I have both stayed in hotels and had breakfast in London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Venice, Salzburg, Rome, and Paris. Also, we have stayed in several hotels in Taiwan including the Grand Hotel in Taipei. The Siam Bed and Breakfast provided a better breakfast than these others. Likewise the comfort of the bed was tops, also. Not even the Grand Hotel was better. Another benefit of the Siam Bed and Breakfast was being able to talk with the owners who are both intelligent and musical. Our tour of the house provided information about the history of Siam and displays of paintings of leaders of Siam and information about its history. A stay at the Potsdam home is an excellent experience for comfort, taste, and learning. We recommend it and the owners enthusiastically without reservation.

A most spectacular memory to be cherished!

I am very happy that my travels landed me in your most wonderful hands. Never before have I stayed at a hotel/motel/bed & breakfast where the atmosphere of the business was based and built with love, dedication, and devotion to teaching, helping and enjoying other human beings! A most spectacular memory to be cherished! Thank you so much for everything. You are both quite amazing and I am better in life for having met you! Take Care.

“Michael and Linda Green's Trip to Thailand”

My husband and I stayed at The Siam Classic Inn this pass weekend on 8/25/13 because we were taking our daughter back to school at Canton. We first encountered Prof. John Lindsay on the phone and he was very pleasant and friendly so we knew we were going to be well taken care of. Arriving in Potsdam we met his lovely wife Nok who is also very warm and friendly. We felt welcomed right away. The Inn was breath taking with its Thai theme. The room was comfortable and clean. It was decorated with authentic historical pieces from Thailand. They take great pride in their home and want to expose others to thisThai oasis. We had a Thai breakfast prepared by Nok and it was delicious. If you want to meet a great couple and travel to Thailand through their eyes The Siam Classic Inn & Spa is the place to stay. Finally it is centrally located in Potsdam and only 12 miles from Canton. Thank you John and Nok for a great time in Potsdam.

Focus on Thailand

Unique environment, owners engagement, Thai breakfast Nice overnight in Potsdam. It is difficult to get a room during crowded times like Freshman orientation. So the unique B&B was not only convenient to Clarkson but also a get-away.

Dear (Kora in Swedish) Nok and John Thank you for your lovely hospitality, we have had the most wonderful breakfasts ever in the US. We are going to miss our conversation at the breakfast table. It feels like we have been visiting a part of Thailand. We hope to see you in Sweden next year. Thank you/ Tack Ja Mycket, Lars, Sweden

Visste inte när jag bokade att det var ett typ Bed & Breakfast ställe. När vi kom dit och möttes av John och hans fru Nok så var man lite konfunderad i början eftersom vi aldrig bott på ett B & B. Deras hjärtliga välkomnade och lugna avspända Thai inspirerande hem gjorde att vi kände oss hemma direkt. På morgonen så bjöds vi på en otrolig frukost, fräsch, nyttig och god. John var en perfekt värd och vi satt och pratade i nästan en timme om allt möjligt. Nok lagade en ny varmrätt alla fyra dagarna som vi var där till frukost, otroligt!! Bästa vi upplevt i USA. När vi lämnade Potsdam kändes det som om vi lämnat två goda vänner, saknar våra underbara frukostar med trevlig konversation, huset med de goda dofterna och den avslappnade Thaimiljön. Thank You John and Nok Credit: Lars N., Sweden Translate: "Incredible Stay!" Did not know when I booked it was a kind Bed & Breakfast establishment. When we got there and was greeted by John and his wife Nok so where a little confused in the beginning because we have never stayed in a B & B. Their cordial welcome and calm relaxed Thai inspiring home made us feel at home immediately. In the morning, so we were treated to an incredible breakfast, fresh, nutritious and tasty. John was a perfect host and we sat and talked for almost an hour about everything. Nok cooked a new main course all four days that we were there for breakfast, unbelievable! Best we experienced in the U.S.. When we left Potsdam felt like we left two good friends, without our wonderful breakfasts with pleasant conversation, the house with the good smells and the relaxing Thai environment. Thank You John and Nok

“Upstate Bangkok!”

This is a wonderful, intimate, setting where you would least expect it. All the rooms are in beautiful Thai decor, each with a historical theme from Siam. There are some pretty amazing artifacts on the walls. I love the floor lamps in the hallway which stay on all night. You couldn't ask for more gracious, warm and accommodating hosts than Nok & John, who pulled out all the stops for us on a Sunday morning with the Full Thai Breakfast! Absolutely incredible food that took two hours to prepare! Plus, chocolate and rose petals on the bed...you can't beat that.

I had the good fortune of staying at the Siam Classic Inn on a regular basis for my term as interim professor at Crane School of Music. John and Nok made all of my stays very comfortable in their beautiful home. I highly recommend this for any traveller as a wonderful place to stay. And the Thai breakfast makes it even more amazing!

Delightful stay. Warm, friendly owners who couldn't have made me feel more welcomed or taken care of. Furnishings are unique and created a special environment. And breakfast, an authentic Thai breakfast, was amazing. Made my first B&B stay memorable and enjoyable.

A Northern New York Treasure!

Having been the first guests in this lovely B & B, we were treated to a very special experience. The decor of each room is very beautiful, interesting and authentic and makes you feel you have just come to Thailand. Service by the charming hostess was superb and we were made to feel right at home. The delicious breakfast was a highlight and will make you want to return for more. If you are coming to the Potsdam area you would do well to make a reservation at the Siam Classic Inn & Spa

“Loved The Siam Classic”

The Siam Classic is amazingly beautiful with classic Thai styling. My room was very lovely, and the service was thoughtful and friendly. It was very clean, and the location is walking distance from almost everything in town. The Thai breakfast was also outstanding. I'm truly glad I stayed there. I'll certainly stay there next time I come to town.

“Siam Classic Inn is a Winner”

I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Siam Classic Inn while on business in Upstate NY. What a treasure this new Inn is, and what a delightful addition to the community and to the North Country. The authenticity of the decor and the unique style of the establishment, owing to the discerning tastes and the vision of its owners, John and Nok Lindsey, provide a warm inviting atmosphere while the owners themselves offer first class service and accommodation. The Inn has all the amenities, it is ideally located, and the breakfast was scrumptious and memorable. The Inn provides a restful and restorative environment, the beds are excellent and I slept deeply. I recommend the Siam Classic without reservation. And on my next visit I will be sure to take advantage of some of the spa services!
