Hello!!
I’m sorry for the delay, but I’m back with Part 2 of Bangkok!
Seriously, I have way too many pictures and way too many things to blog about. So I’m just gonna try my best to break it down into manageable chunks! 🙂 Easier to digest as well, heh. And this entry is going to sum up my stay at Sofitel So Bangkok, which I’ve already been raving NON-STOP about in my previous entry: BKK March’14: Day 1 at Sofitel So Bangkok.
Please read all the way til the end for a give-away: A lucky reader will get to win a free 2-night stay! And I promise you will LOVE Sofitel So Bangkok!!
Woke up after a great night’s rest on Day 2 and I was so looking forward to hotel breakfast at Red Oven!
I’ve always loved international breakfast buffets, heh. But there are the meh ones and there are the good ones. In my opinion, Red Oven does international breakfast buffet really really well! Fresh, delicious and well-cooked food with a huge selection and spread. And by the way, you even get ice-cream (part of the buffet too) for breakfast!
Just the selection of baked goods alone. I was trying to keep to a low-carb diet, but I absolutely loved the croissants served at Red Oven. They were to-die-for!
I like the pleasant and welcoming ambience at Red Oven, especially in the morning, with sun light streaming in through the full length windows!
Whenever I’m at hotel breakfast buffet, I always, always zoom into the breakfast items. Bacon, sausages, eggs, and potatoes are my idea of breakfast heaven!
Oh yum!
I was so happy to eat breakfast! Because I woke up extra early to do Insanity workout in the morning before breakfast. Yay! No guilt for overloading my breakfast plate 🙂
Fresh fruits all cut and ready for you.
Asian delicacies, and stir-fried dishes are also available too 🙂
Gluten-free muffins sound like a good option for the health-conscious!
Cured meats
Salads with lots of condiments!
As you can see, you’d be so spoilt for choice. I could probably have three meals at Red Oven and be able to eat entirely different things at every meal.
My spread for breakfast! I gobbled everything down in a jiffy!
Food porn 🙁 I need some of these in my tummy now 🙁
Too happy to tuck into breakfast. Yum!
With Jess, cos Marie and Mel were still snoozing in bed… Lol.
And the ice cream..!!! So good! I especially love the Thai Milk Tea flavour. So shiok! Jess liked the Passionfruit but it was too sour for me, hahaha.
One of the pretty staff on standby to serve us. I love the Christian Lacroix-designed uniform.
Dropped by the reception area for a bit. By the way, you can actually exchange currency right at the hotel concierge, which was too convenient! I ran out of baht and exchanged a few more hundred dollars :X
Also, notice how this lady is wearing a different uniform? There are actually four different sets for each staff member to choose from, and you can pick two! Cool, huh?
Another view of the magnificent concierge and bar area. I love the opulent and ornate settings!
Since we had some time to kill before our arranged spa at So Spa, we took a walk around the hotel premises, and had a dip in the pool! I could stay in Sofitel So Bangkok the entire day and not get bored!
At the solarium, where there’s a vast area of open space, and deck chairs!
There is also So Fit, which is the fitness gym! Lol. I love the punny-ness! 😀
Headed to the pool side for some dipping at the infinity pool!
Sofitel So Bangkok is very attentive, they even provide sunscreen and shades for guests!
Lots of lounge beds and deck beds, and it is so comfy to just lay down under the shade of the trees!
My happy feet, pedicure done by The Nail Artelier!
Pool-side chilling.. The weather was perfect 😉 Just a lil cloudy and not too sunny
Loving the view of the infinity pool against a backdrop of buildings 🙂
We even had refreshments provided while we frolicked in the water! This is the lifeeeee.
Mel and I got to experience So Spa, Sofitel So Bangkok’s award-winning luxury spa!
Deciding on which treatment to pamper myself with. I like firm massages, so upon recommendation, I decided to go for the Sports Massage!
The decor is so rustic and lovely, it looks like a blackboard full of chalk drawings!
Our masseurs all ready for Mel and I 🙂
The spa room overlooks the pool, and has this HUGE tub in it! How I wish i could soak in that tub!
Top-down view 🙂
Wonderful ambience and great attention to the little details.
All ready for my session!
Foot soak before massage!
The massage was incredible! I was kneaded and pressed with skilled hands that worked out all the knots and kinks in my muscles and joints, and left me feeling so relaxed and blissed-out. Highly recommended to book a spa session for yourself if you’re staying in Sofitel So Bangkok!
The luxurious session ended off with some dark chocolates and hot tea.
The wonderful spa session really completed our stay in Sofitel So Bangkok!
After which we headed out for a day of shopping and food (that’s for next entry) and we had to check out the following morning ;(
Thank you so much, Germaine, for making the necessary arrangements for us and making sure that we were well-taken care of!
My last picture at Sofitel So Bangkok. Good bye~ 🙁 Also the only time I even sat on a tuktuk in Bangkok hahaha.
