    Staycation at the SO Sofitel Bangkok

    I had the pleasure of staying at the So Sofitel Bangkok. It was an amazing experience from beginning to to end. I can’t emphasize enough how much I love the way Sofitel makes every visit an experience, better yet an adventure. It always starts off walking into a lobby with a concept you’ve never seen before, with a signature welcome drink- most of the time it’s something you’ve never tasted before or just a whole new way of drinking something you already know.

    Love how they have played with the shadows here. They spend time of every little detail.

    Check out this amazing view! Who knew Bangkok could look so green?

    We stayed at the wood element room on 17th floor overlooking Lumpini park, which is one of the most popular elements in the hotel next to metal.  The high-rise property blends a mosaic of materials that give a contemporary high-tech look while at the same time appearing accessible and inviting. It’s architecture was designed by Smith Obayawat a leading figure in the association of Siamese Architects. As creative as the architecture is the interior design, SO Sofitel Bangkok offeres themed accommodation created around the five elements inspired by Lumpini Park. Water, Earth, Wood, Metal and Fire. Every element has a unique style and layout, and are all designed by five different Thai designers- making every stay at the SO Sofitel a new experience.

    The winner of the art contest. How can a student make something like this? amazing.

    Walking around the hotel you will see art everywhere- every corner, roof and floors are covered with something to fit the current theme of the hotel. There is also annually art exhibitions, this year they held a competition and let students from Bangkok compete for the top three to have their art shown at the hotel.

    The world kitchen and the big Red Oven- hence the name of the restaurant.

    Living in Bangkok and being a breakfast person, I have tried many breakfast buffets around the city, but had to try the breakfast at the Red Oven. If you have ever stayed at a SO Sofitel or even Sofitel hotel you know you are in for a nice breakfast. However, there is something extra with the Red Oven. The beautiful fire element and red interior plays a big part in making it a nice experience, but the selection of food is just amazing. I understand why it’s also called the world kitchen. You have all the usual stuff, but better quality. Then you have ice creams, all sorts of energizing drinks and snacks, not only seasonal fruits from Thailand but from all over the world, yummy pastries (I never eat pastries/desserts from breakfast buffets). Moreover, the cheese selection? On point! It’s one of those buffets you never want to leave, so make sure you wake up early.

    I loved my staycation at the SO Sofitel, even if I was in my own hometown I really felt like I was far away on a holiday. They have everything you need at the hotel.  A chocolate bar in the lobby with an all you can eat chocolate buffet after lunch time, there’s different restaurants and bars to choose from, an amazing infinity pool overlooking the city, the best SPA in Bangkok, a roof top bar with a killer skyline view… Just walking around the hotel and exploring is an adventure on its own.

    This is where the pool party is held, overlooking Bangkok city.

    Talking about the crazy pool venue and sun deck SO Sofitel Bangkok hosts a pool party at the end of every month. I’ve been there a couple of times and it’s so much fun! Another new thing that I’ve learned is that every Monday there is a Mojito madness going on at MIXO bar. There’s an all you can drink Mojitos from 7-9pm. They are super delicious… I tried them all…

    In love with my basic beige dress

    I love long sleeves and fitted clothing so I guess there is no surprise when I tell you I fell for this beige dress instantly. I found it at Nelly.com while visiting Norway this summer- meaning no shipping or extra tax charges  = no brainer.

    As you might already know I’m also a sucker for basic stuff. I like the idea of having clothes that works in every situation from running around on your daily errands as well as for night-time drinks (adding more accessories). The only problem for me is that I’m quite prone to heat so I only wear this dress if I know most of my day consists of being inside. Does anyone have any tips on how to cope with heat?

    //Whole outfit from Nelly.com//

    We decided to put up a little studio at home and get some photos the other day. For those of you who don’t know Tom is a photographer so if you’re anywhere around Bangkok or even Thailand and need some new headshots, travel photos, fashion or even just update your portfolio; check out his work. He’s amazing!

    As Tom is quite busy with his own photography work most of the photos on this page is edited by myself in lightroom, so be kind- I’m still learning! I also need to start figuring out how Photoshop works, haha.

    What do you guys think?

    Obsessed with chokers

    girl wearing flower chokers bangkok anita_bye_manaosoda anita bye manaosoda wears chokers

    I’ve become madly obsessed with these chokers. It frames the face in a way that you don’t need to put on too much makeup. It’s like an additional contouring layer or mascara. I can’t quite choose which one… I find it most suitable with ponytails, but you can rock it with any style you want. It draws the look from being sporty and not caring too much about your look to becoming that fierce woman that we all wish we could be sometimes. I got this flower choker from one of the stalls at MBK, but recently I’ve seen it everywhere, and it’s so cheap! I need more of these…

    If you’re not in Thailand or is, but can’t be bothered strolling around the markets in this heat, you can order one here for less than a dollar! That’s included shipping. But I do recommend you support the locals here if you can!

    So many stunning temples around the city of Luang Prabang.

    I went on a little shopping spree with Tom the other day to find items for our halloween costume. We didn’t find anything. That doesn’t mean we left the mall empty handed though. As we walked through Forever21 to get to Toys”R”Us I spotted a nice golden body.I think I’m obsessed with fitted neck line tops, I can’t resist buying them when I see them and this one fit me perfectly.You would think they had smaller sizes in Thailand.  So you don’t have to guess twice what my first outfit for Laos was.

    If you didn’t check my instagram yet we finally went to Luang Prabang. I think we’ve been talking about it since we first started dating in 2013. It was nothing less than we had expected, amazing food, great atmosphere and beautiful architecture everywhere. We stayed at the stunning Sofitel Luang Prabang, which I recommend at the highest. Pictures from the hotel in my next post.
