Kampong Siam is an ethnic Siamese enclave within the downtown core of George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang.

[1][2] The neighbourhood is still inhabited by ethnic Siamese, who had moved into the area as early as the 19th century.

[1][2] The four female Siamese trustees who became custodians of the land also built Wat Chaiyamangkalaram next to the village.

More recently, Kampung Siam's residents have been embroiled in a tussle over land rights, as the neighbourhood is earmarked for the construction of a hotel.

The lawsuit was dismissed in 2015, leading to fears that the Siamese enclave will be bulldozed to make way for redevelopment.
