I was lucky enough to get invited to Ricola’s influencers party at Hotel Muse in Langsuan the other day. The event was held at the roof top at the Speakeasy roof top bar, just in time for sunset. As I told you guys earlier the event was very secretive, and no one of us knew the guest list nor what to expect from the event. I went there with a somewhat sceptical mind, but ended up positively surprised in every way! They put so much tought into the event, games, prizes, and a perfect showcase of Ricola goodies. There was even a Swiss guy playing the alphorn and the accordion! Oh, and let’s not forget the Ricola inspired spiced up drinks, they definitely got the party started!
Environmentally friendly, natural ingredients, high quality herbs and still great flavour!
Check out the new travel sized bags, I see them everywhere I go now. So easy to put in your bag and carry around, AND they’re sugar-free!
It’s funny because I was born and raised in Norway and Ricola is quite big back home… My grandaunt will always have a box of Ricola Original herb flavour lying around. As a treat but also to clear her throat. I can’t even count all the times she’s called me to ask if I couldn’t bring her a box of these life saving pills. Safe to say, I will be bringing her some of the stuff from my goodie bag when I fly to Norway next week!
Thank you Ricola for hosting this amazing event, and do check out their Thai website for more info, or- just step into any 7 eleven, Tesco or Family to grab a box/bag!

Endless details, every corner has something that stands out!
Every little details is carefully planned, this is through the peeking hole of the massage bed. It doesn’t only look nice but it smells like heaven too.

The menu offers a broad selection from facials, body massages, slimming treatments and exciting starters like Spice Body Scrub, Rassoul Cream Wrap and baths. If you’re like me and can’t quite choose what you want you can also go for one of the menu suggestions. I went for the “So Well” package which was a 120 minute treatment consisting of two of their signature treatments “So Exhilarating” body massage to sooth the body and mind and followed by a rejuvenating facial for a smooth and radiance complexion. It felt amazing from beginning to the end.
The view from the SPA suite is breathtaking- perfect to calm your nerves and connect with the nature, you will forget that you are in a city.
The SPA room had a beautiful view over the pool area with a gorgeous bath filled with flowers and luxurious details carefully placed around the room. The staff is gentle and makes you enjoy every minute of your treatment- it’s completely quiet from surrounding sounds. The only sound you will hear is the soundtrack you choose. SO relaxing! I love the honey dripped in the mouth at the beginning making you feel sweet during the whole experience. Mm.. The fragrance of the products are just magical and so rich. Trust me you’re going to feel all smooth and rejuvenated after your visit. To top it all off you have the room and a warm bath for yourself at the end accompanied with dark chocolate, dried fruits and tea of your choice.
The seven treatment rooms and three spa suites gives you a variety of treatment options making each return visit to SO Spa a unique experience. Walking into the Spa makes you feel like you’re in an artsy enchanted forest with lights coming out of the shadows- giving you a feeling of calm and relaxation.
With thanks to Sofitel for hosting me at the So Spa Bangkok <3
I think I’ve found the best pizza in Bangkok…We did a little shoot for booking.com at the end of last and encountered Ciao Pizza. The pizza is amazing, not to mention all the other flavourful Italian food they have on the menu. I can go as far as saying this is my new favourite pizza here, and I’ve tried pretty much all of them. The burrata cheese with cured ham and rocket salad was something totally different from what you get when you usually order the Serrano ham pizza. The crust is thin and crispy but the cheese keeps it soft in every bite. The mixture of flavours makes it perfect. It’s so tasty!
Love the industrial style decor!
Pizza Croccante Burrata Crudo E Rucola <3
They also serve some delicious desserts. We had the Panacotta with raspberry. It’s served with those cracking things you had with your lollipop as a kid. So fun!
We also tried their salads and homemade pasta with meatballs, and it was no less. I like how they have the similar things as other Italian restaurants but their way of making it is unique.
So, now you now where to go for dinner today, don’t miss out Xx
Shoutout to one of the best meat experiences in Bangkok. We already know that Daniel Thaiger serves the best burgers in Bangkok if you take the price in to consideration. It’s always been simple, juicy and delicious. But this time, at their new restaurant Crying Thaiger– they’ve become even more creative-making burgers like mac & cheese burger, larb burger, lamb burger ++ I obviously went for the mac & cheese burger…It was soo good, super soft, and easy to bite into! The lamb chops served with jim jaew was no less. Next time, I’m going for the tomahawk. I wanted to get one last time I went, but you have to book a day in advance.
Love the wall art at Crying Thaiger made by Kat Jones!
Perfect and creamy burrata cheese… mmm…
Lamb chops with Thai sides, flavour explosion!
An amazing creation, it started off as a fun experiment but it blew peoples mind and has been on the menu since.
Mac & Cheese burger with truffle fries… this must be AT LEAST 1000 kcal of yummyness.
There might be some of you that aren’t super into meat and they have great options for you too. The burrata cheese in on point, until now the burrata cheese from Peppina has been high on the list, but I think Crying Thaiger tops it! They also have a simple yet tasteful Caesar salad too. Oh- and one thing you must try! Their Lab fries, they are AMAZING! Super spicy and packed with flavours. I was too full to try out any of the desserts after all the eating, but they do have a nice dessert list too so save some space. Oh, and cocktails!
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.
Wood Element- SO Cosy.
Soft beds that makes you want to stay in bed all day!
Earth element, I like how every room is different.
Art exhibition showcasing the five elements- fire, water, earth, metal and wood.
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.
Every type of yoghurt you can dream of!
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.
I’ll be here every Monday for some Mojito madness.
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…
View from Park Society at night. Perfect for some romantic late night drinks.
There’s so many new restaurants opening in Bangkok and so little time on hand. We’re always talking about trying out all the new places around town but often just end up at the same old favorite places or new places around our area. If you live in Bangkok you know how anticlimactic the traffic is… Sathorn and Silom is one of the hippest areas in town for cocktails and food, so during our little staycation at the SO Sofitel we made sure to try out some of the treasures in that Area.

The first day we went for some nibbles at Bunker. I was full after our meal but the reason I say nibbles is that Bangkok Magazine mentioned that you had to spend around 6000 on a dinner for two. We spent around 2500 and Tom even enjoyed one of their cocktails in that price. Their cocktail menu is exciting and the prices are relatively low. I kind of regret not having a cocktail but I was going straight for the Mojito Monday and SO Sofitel’s MIXO bar so I had to save the calories, more about that later. Tom had an Old Fashioned cocktail as usual and said it was the best one he’s had so far!
I like the vibe of Bunker, it’s all set in a concrete building. The lights are dimmed with modern industrial decor. I loved the turquoise chairs and the marble-like tables. We went there on a Monday around 6 pm and the place was already full by 7. It’s surely is a trendy place to be seen. The food was simple, fresh and not least delicious. The flavors are different, some- you will have to guess your way to if you didn’t memorize the menu. We went for one starter, one small pasta and one main dish, the portions are great for sharing.
