“ There is nothing better

than watching the early
morning sunrise from

this exact spot. “

Behind a separate door is Satyapon’s private study, where
an armoire covered in gold leaf and adorned with statues of
important spiritual fi gures sits next to his desk. Siriya points out
another set of brass scales above a chest of drawers, explaining
that this unique space truly refl ects her husband’s strong
personal values.

Finally, we are led to the third fl oor to a special prayer room
that has been custom designed to create the perfect place to
refl ect and practice spirituality. The intricate structure is truly
magnifi cent in its embellishments. Siriya excitedly guides us
towards the double doors which open onto a curved balcony.
“There is nothing better than watching the early morning
sunrise from this exact spot,” she says.

Upon our exit, we notice a wooden gazebo that stands
adjacent to the house. Sabrina kindly explains that this
structure is modelled after the Thammasat University
dome — a truly personal touch as Nikki currently attends the
college, while Satyapon and Sabrina are both alumni. This is
another astounding symbol that personifi es
the family’s love for combining Thailand and
India’s rich cultural history with their own
personal stories, to create a home that comes
alive in all its details.
