Folks, sorry for the delay. The winner of my Sofitel So Bangkok Giveaway is Verraine. I will be having more upcoming giveaways, thank you for the support.
During my second trip to Bangkok in September, I stayed at Sofitel So Bangkok and it took my breath away. The hotel is chic, playful and bold – it has a character which will make you fall in love with it.
if you are planning a trip to Bangkok, I’d highly recommend Sofitel So Bangkok for a truly memorable stay. To me, it is definitely one of the best hotels in Bangkok.
P.S. I am giving away two nights stay at Sofitel So Bangkok for one lucky winner. Read on to find out how you can win the hotel stay.
After arriving at Sofitel So Bangkok, we were ushered to the lobby, and the check-in process was a breeze. Instead of waiting in line at the reception counter, we completed the procedure at the bar where we were welcomed with a nice drink, and the staff did the check-in for us using a tablet.
This is what makes Sofitel So Bangkok different from the other hotels. They only have one goal, and that is to make sure that you enjoy yourself and have fun. Throughout our stay there, we noticed that the staff are all chirpy and genuinely interested in engaging the hotel guests.
With a view overlooking Lumpini park, Sofitel So Bangkok doesn’t have to do much. But the view is not the only reason why you should stay there. The hotel has four element themes – Metal, Earth, Water and Wood – with each offering a different experience.
The ‘Metal’ theme is hugely popular with young couples, and with its minimalist white interior, it is not difficult to see why.
The ‘Wood’ theme, on the other hand, has wooden furnishings and it exudes a zen-like appeal.
Inspired by the mountainous region in North-Eastern Thailand, the ‘Earth’ theme is another room that I loved.
They have recently just started the ‘Water’ theme rooms in October, and among the four different themes, it is the only one that comes with a gorgeous bathtub facing Lumpini Park.
The best thing about Sofitel So Bangkok is that you can request to stay in different rooms (subject to availability) if you are there for a few nights.
Besides the beautiful rooms, Sofitel So Bangkok also has a stunning infinity pool, 24 hours gym, luxurious spa, and several excellent dining establishments.
To start the day well, head to club lounge for a hearty breakfast.
For buffet, Red Oven provides a scrumptious international spread with live cooking stations.
Park Society is a chic and sophisticated restaurant where you’d bring a hot date for a nice dinner. The food, while not out-of-this-world, is competent. From the entrée menu, you have appetisers like pan seared foie gras (B750), steamed mussels in white wine (B950), and pan seared hokkaido scallops (B950).
For main course, there are choices like slow cooked pork belly (B1800), pan roasted turbot (B2,600) and roasted wagyu tenderloin (B2,900), And under the ‘happy ending’ dessert section, the white chocolate mousse cake (B350) is an excellent choice. You will also be tempted by the chocolate lava cake (B350) and the So berry souffle (B350). I ordered everything and it was indeed, a happy ending.
Even if you are not staying at Sofitel So Bangkok, I’d suggest going to the bar at Park Society for drinks. At just B350 for a cocktail, it is money well spent for the view.
Chocolate lovers will be happy to see the Chocolab. Truffle, chocolate cakes, and desserts – you name it, they have it. When I was there, it felt as though I was Charlie in the chocolate factory.
All in all, I had a fabulous stay at Sofitel So Bangkok. While I also had a good experience at Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, I very much prefer Sofitel So Bangkok as it allows me to stay in a different themed rooms every night. And now, here’s a chance for you to stay there too!

I would like to spend this year’s Xmas at BKK with my Boyfriend. Staying at such a beautiful hotel would be like a dream come true! <3 Sofitel.
I want it this so bad so bad!!
Fell in love with the rooms just by looking at the pictures. Sweet choice of stay for our upcoming holiday.
Bangkok is a shopping heaven for all ladies and it would be even cloud nine to stay here at the conveniently located hotel! It’s my splendid other first trip to Bangkok and certainly I would want the best for him when it comes to resting and relaxing
) Of course not forgetting the exemplary service and delectable food!
Always wanted to show my mom how great chatuchak is which is near to where Sofitel is. Eat and shop the whole day with me paying for everything for her birthday!
Chocolab? Cocoa Rush Hour? SOLD! Well actually I’m missing Bangkok, been there 3 years ago and have been wanting to make my way back there again. This would be a great chance! Thanks.
I would like to stay in Sofitel So Bangkok because the rooms look very comfortable and there is a lot of space available for me to store my shopping loots! :p
I want to stay at Sofitel because it will make my virgin trip to Bangkok this Dec even better!
My boyfriend and I are very into Fengshui and that was how we met. Both of us love Fengshui theme and we have always wanted to stay in a unique themed hotel like Sofitel Bangkok but never gotten the chance to as we are both not well to do, juggling with both work and studies. I believe the chance to stay in the hotel during our first anniversary this year would be a perfect way to mark and celebrate our love, all while pursuing our passion in Fengshui
It would be a very meaningful trip for the both of us!

I want a FREE hotel stay in Sofitel’s So Cosy room because I am So Singaporean :p
I’ve always loved Bangkok because it is truly one of the most cosmopolitan, contrasting and, above all, compelling of all cities in Asia. Therefore, I think it would be such a wonderful opportunity if I were given the chance to travel back there again and to be given a two nights stay in Sofitel So Bangkok. With the different and unique element themes that the hotel has to offer to its guests, what’s there not to love about Sofitel So Bangkok?
Sofitel Bangkok looks awesome and lovely for a getaway during December holidays for me to discuss our future wedding plans with my SO, with the infinity pool and delectable delights.
Sofitel Bangkok looks sooo awesome and I just can’t imagine how relaxing and enjoyable should I get to spend my Dec holidays there!
Been there only once and it wasn’t a good experience at all. Definitely not the shopping that disappoint me, but the stay + company I would say. Lots of disagreement and argument throughout, couldn’t enjoy at all. So I would definitely love to win this, so I can spend this special trip with my boyfriend, +++ such a beautiful hotel would be great as a plan for his Birthday surprise too!
I WANT TO SURPRISE MY AWE GIRLFRIEND WITH THIS BADLY! SHE WOULD DEFINITELY SCREAM AND JUMP AROUND!
My boyfriend and his parents are planning a trip to Bangkok to visit their older son and grandson whom have been stationed there since birth. I would really like to make their stay there as comfortable as possible and their memory of meeting their grandson and nephew a memorable one.
Nothing beats counting down to 2013, my girlfriend’s birthday and our anniversary in this beautiful hotel, town!
I want to win this!
I love Sofitel So Bangkok Hotel!
I liked a lot Bangkok when i participated in Amazing race and i will definitely return there in one day.This hotel look nicely
I would love to bring my wife for our 2nd honeymoon and staying in this hotel would definitely make her happier!
I have always want to go Bangkok for its awesome affordable shopping buys and the yummy street foods but never have the chance to do so. After reading your post about Sofitel Bangkok, it made me realise that there is another side to Bangkok.
We can pamper ourselves by staying in Sofitel Bangkok, a comfortable unique hotel with great emphasis on customer service. Also we can dine at the restaurants overlooking great view. It will be such a good and short getaway to relax and unwind as we usually face so much stress and are so busy in Singapore
Christmas in BKK; air tickets booked!!
All we need is a fabulous hotel stay to sweeten our trip!
‘Santa that’s my only wish this year(:
I am planning a trip to Bangkok and winning this would definitely helps in my planning.
I would love to stay in this lovely hotel for my upcoming Bangkok trip!!
Looking & reading through your blog entries always give me the urge to take a break & have a short getaway or just eat all day, all week!
I would love to take this chance to spend the new year (2013) with my boyfriend and at the same time surprise him with this short getaway for his birthday. Also at the same time, giving me the chance go back to Bangkok (have not been there since 6 years ago!) and stay at the wonderful Sofitel So Bangkok, which has such an awesome view + cosy rooms with different themes!
Last but not least, all the yummy food (ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE!) is what excites me the most!
Because the pictures let out a perfect holiday mood.
I love the shopping, the food and the people in Bangkok!! Staying at such a nice hotel would definitely love Bangkok even more!!! Can’t wait to go Bangkok AGAIN!!
Wow! Sofitel Bangkok looks so cool with the different room themes! I would love to stay in this hotel.
I have never ever been to Bangkok in my life (sad, I know
) so I have been dying to visit since years ago! Winning this stay in Sofitel So Bangkok would be awesome for a would-be wonderful first trip there (making it even greater in fact with the cosy room, views and food available!) with my loved ones! 
And of course, it would solidify plans for a trip to bangkok! 
I want to stay in Sofitel So Bangkok so very much during my vacation in January 2013!:)
Sofitel So Bangkok looks amazing and I would love to stay there!
Staying in a pretty and cool hotel like Sofitel So Bangkok would definitely make our trip to Bangkok even more memorable!!
Sofitel So Bangkok please let me stay!!
I would love a break at Sofitel So Bangkok! Looks so relaxing!
Your photos captured the essence of the hotel so well. Loved the different themed rooms especially the Water theme. A bathtube facing the Lumpini Park just sounds so romantic. My boyfriend and I are planning a visit to BKK in Jan 2013. This hotel will be lovely to stay in!! (P.S. Liked your FB as well)
Sofitel So Bangkok looks So good. When I was first in Bangkok, I stayed in another boutique hotel (Ecotel) recommended by my friend and it was good. Sofitel So looks great, and I’d love to experience it too!
Been following all your posts and photos over on the social media. So inspiring- I’m such a foodie now after following your instagram. Hoping I can explore the best food in bangkok too! Your europe trip photos are amazing.

Sofitel Bangkok looks AMAZING! I have never stayed in a hotel in Bangkok, so please make this Christmas a special one. I would love to check out the nice cafes along Sukhumvit too.
Simple eye catching hotel. Heard a lot of reviews from the media in ThAiland. A new trend, chic style with al the friendly amenities . Would love to grab on this winning price. Hope is mine.
I would really love to win this not for me, but for my parents
It’s been such a long time since they’ve gone on a holiday with just the both of them. This would be such a great opportunity for them to truly enjoy themselves and relax without worrying about everything and anything 
I’m sure they would be more than thrilled to visit Bangkok, and live in such a glamorous hotel as a huge plus point! 
Thank you! <:
It would be such a splendid holiday if I can get to stay at this luxurious place and while soaking in the great atmosphere in bangkok! The mouth watering dishes at the buffet ( red oven) is definately gonna be the highlight of the stay too!
Looking at the different themes in Sofitel So Bangkok has to offer makes me feels more of going back to Bangkok again this year for our 1st wedding anniversary together with our lil one.
I want to stay there as i haven’t been to Bangkok.
