Sofitel So Bangkok

During our recent trip to Bangkok, we decided to stay in Sofitel So Bangkok. It is located adjacent to Lumpini Park, close to Pratunam, business and entertainment districts.

With meter taxi always on standby, the hotel also enjoys an easy access to Lumpini Subway and Saladaeng Skytrain station.

There were some misunderstanding at first on the upgrade however it was promptly explained by Mr. Akira, the So Experience & Quality Manager.

The following day, our friends Wayne & Lin Chong joined us at Sofitel So, they chose Water Theme for their So Comfy Room.

Each of the 238 rooms and suites are equipped with 40” flatscreen LCD televisions and fully integrated Apple Mac mini media solutions enhanced with the latest iPad in all suites not to mention the panoramic views over Lumpini Park and the Bangkok skyline.

Infinity Pool

The outdoor infinity pool overlooking Bangkok’s skyline is definitely a triumph, extending over 33 metres on the 10th floor, the water seemingly flows over the negative edge into the park and skyline beyond, giving the impression of swimming in mid-air.
