When it comes to Hua Hin, I'm sure everyone here has been there. The popular resort town is full of hot spots and attractions, inviting tourists to explore. But when it comes to Cha-am, everyone probably thinks of canvas beds, sandy beaches, and crowds of people along the shore. There are all kinds of water activities to choose from. Today, I'm going to take you to a newly rebranded hotel, "So Sofitel Hua Hin". The hotel is located in Cha-am, but I guarantee that it's completely peaceful. Most importantly, the beach is quiet and very private, so you don't have to go all the way to Hua Hin. Let's go and see it now.

Please support my small page, Iced Latte, thank you.

https://www.facebook.com/lattepunyenyen/Getting there is easy. When you reach the Cha-am traffic light, turn left and head down to the beach.

Drive a little further and you'll see a Family Mart. Turn left and keep going straight. There will be signs along the way.

Today we had many tasks, leaving home very late and arriving at the hotel quite late.

However, there are staff at the Front 24 hours a day... In the Lobby, there is a rabbit named Mr.Rabbit.

With the "Keeper time" function, time will be stopped, and you will forget everything, allowing you to enjoy your stay throughout this trip.

The highlight of this place is undoubtedly the largest marble staircase in Southeast Asia.

Designed by renowned architect Khun Duang Duangrit Bunnag...very impressive.

Climbing so many stairs, I guess it's a good workout, huh? Hehe.

The lobby here is airy, spacious, and comfortable. The breeze is refreshing and relaxing.

This section of the mural is quite stylish, resembling a treasure map or a tourist map of the Hua Hin - Cha-am zone.

Designed by a French designer

While waiting to check in, the staff quickly brought a welcome drink and a refreshing cold towel.

I think people who like art would really like this place, even though I'm not very good at it myself.

Still feeling amazed by the paintings found and the small details that are perfectly arranged.

It's time. The staff took us to our room, Building 4. Our room today is "So Comfy Room".

This room type is available in 2 styles: "So Arty" and "So Nature", which have different decorations.

The staff led us to the second floor. The door of the room was pitch black, and it seemed like a private and perfect place to relax.

Thank you for the lovely welcome... Art is truly everywhere here, even in the small welcome note.

But it makes us feel so warm...^___^

The room we stayed in on this trip was the "So Nature" room, which gave us the feeling of staying in a garden.

Wow, the exposed concrete wall looks amazing! It blends in perfectly with the rest of the decor.

The wooden bed feels like you're in the forest.

At the end of the bed is a sofa where you can sit and watch TV... sip tea or coffee, as you wish.

This section is even painted with a climbing tree pattern to make it feel even more natural.

As expected, it's late when we arrive. The housekeeper has already turned down the bed and everything is ready for us to sleep.

We'll explore the rest of the room tomorrow... I'm very sleepy today, so I'm going to rest now.

Good morning! Waking up early like this, let's find something to drink to get rid of the drowsiness.

Our room also has a capsule coffee machine, which is very convenient.

This zone also has a Minibar with complimentary bottled water, tea, and coffee.

In the bathroom, there is a large mirror that is perfect for teenagers... There are 2 sinks, so you don't have to fight over them.

Another cute thing is the jacket. It's so stylish... I've never seen a pattern like this anywhere else.

The amenities kit is packed in a small drawer... it's cute that it's separated for men and women.

The shower is a rain shower that is very high...it's like showering in the rain.

Or, for those who don't like it this way, soaking in the tub and making bubbles is not bad either. The bathroom here is spacious and doesn't feel cramped at all.

A small, quirky gimmick of the hotel that I see regularly is the many animal statues.

Each place, each style has a different origin... like our room, we have a little rabbit sitting by the sink.

Salt spa is available for body scrubbing, along with relaxation throughout your stay here.

Various shampoos are packed in ceramic bottles and neatly arranged.

Let's take another look at the outside after the housekeeper has finished cleaning.

Another difference between each room is the paintings that are hung on the walls. They are by French painters.

Each image gives a different feeling, depending on the type of room we have. So Nature

This will be a natural image....which fits well

Beside the bed, there is a long wooden chair... with a little rabbit sitting and watching again ^^

I'm so hungry! Let's head over to the "White Oven" restaurant with our friends.

Today's lunch is a buffet, so please eat to your heart's content.

The dining room is colorful, bright, and beautiful... It must be very appetizing this morning, huh?

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, resembling the atmosphere of being under the hull of a ship... The decorations are in an antique style.

A touch of fisherman's style...light blue, giving the feeling of being on a boat floating in the real sea.

Let's take a look at the breakfast line. There's a wide variety of breads to choose from, so you can find something to your liking.

This area is a station for various sweet treats, including bread, ice cream, and fresh milk. The kids will love it!

Fresh fruits and a variety of juices to choose from.

For those who do not like to sit outside and enjoy the natural breeze, we also have indoor service.

Super cool coffee cup decoration...like I went out fishing myself haha

Tea and coffee can be ordered from the staff...you can choose hot or cold.

The food is diverse, both Thai and international. There is also an egg station where you can order freshly made eggs to your liking.

The second floor of the restaurant also houses the Rooftop Bar, which is open in the evenings.

Let's go up and explore together. This part is "Hi-So", so we can get a high-angle view.

After eating, let's go for a walk to digest our food and enjoy the sea breeze on the beach.

This trip, the weather is on our side. Even though it's the rainy season, today is a bright and sunny day.

Brightly colored bean bags are lined up on the beach, contrasting with the blue sky... the beauty is beyond words.

A giant hand, Nang Phanthurat, emerged from the sandy ground…. Everything here has a story to tell, you know.

It's not like you can just make anything up, which, when you hear it, it's hard to believe that everything can be connected.

Walking along the beach, I stopped at "Beach Society" to enjoy a refreshing drink.

Enjoy a light meal, it's amazing....peaceful and private.

The roof is inspired by a surfboard... The art here is unconventional and unique.

I'll just take a walk and find a refreshing glass of watermelon juice to drink. Then I'll forget about everything and just enjoy the atmosphere in front of me.

The sky is the sky....

Let's take another picture before we go for a refreshing swim...

On a hot day like this, there's nothing better than a dip in the pool. It's time to change into a swimsuit and cool off.

This resort boasts two swimming pools. The one we are currently at is called "So Pool".

It is a pool by the sea. Children can use the service.... Swimming and enjoying the view is truly happy.

There are many places to sit and relax here. Wherever you walk, there are places to rest and relax.

The So Pool area is the same... surrounded by sofa beds, choose to sit comfortably.

The black pool is dark, cool, and stylish...but not as scary as it looks.

Once you have your seat, get ready to jump into the water... As soon as the staff sees the guests sitting down, they bring water to quench their thirst.

Refreshing cold water with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves... The scent of herbs is so relaxing.

The hotel's unicorn is also available....

It's lunchtime! We're having lunch at "White Oven" again.

For lunch, let's have some Thai food. There are many different dishes for the guests to choose from.

While waiting for food, sip on a drink. There are many kinds of fruit juice.

Whether it's watermelon, pineapple, coconut, or mango, it's really strong.

The first menu item is " Crispy Rice Salad with Spicy Shrimp Paste Dressing ".

Followed by "Crispy Morning Glory Salad" as a light appetizer. It's delicious and flavorful.

"Spicy Glass Noodle Salad with Seafood" tastes so refreshingly spicy.

"Spicy minced pork salad" beautifully presented, served in bite-sized pieces for easy eating.

" Fried egg with minced pork and vegetables "

"The pineapple fried rice is served in a brightly colored vintage pot, making this pot of rice very tempting. It looks delicious."

The final menu, "Massaman", a fragrant curry with a hint of cumin and a spicy kick. 😉

Savory dishes are gone, sweet dishes are coming. Don't wait!

The most recommended is probably "Coconut Cake", a soft and delicate young coconut cake.

This is a recipe that So Sofitel came up with themselves. It took them several months to develop, until they got the taste just right.

Next up is "Thai tea panacotta." The panacotta is topped with a generous amount of toppings, which is a great way to cut through the richness.

The final menu item, "crispy ruby", a classic Thai dessert, is beautifully presented.

Feel free to customize it to your liking! Add as much or as little as you desire.

After a satisfying meal, let's explore the next section, "So Fit" Fitness, which is open 24 hours a day.

Fitness enthusiasts will be delighted. You can come any time, day or night.

Another swimming pool is the "Solarium Pool", which is flanked by high, strong stone walls.

This pool is reserved for adults only... The architecture is amazing, and the sculptures are very cool.

On the other side of the Solarium Pool is the "Galerie", a room where paintings by various artists are displayed.

Guests who are interested in purchasing these items can do so and take them home with them.

For guests staying over the weekend...every Saturday night there will be "So Movie Night".

Indulge in the ultimate cinematic experience under the stars by the sea...watch movies and gaze at the stars.

The epitome of romance...especially if you're with your loved one. I'm so jealous, I could cry.

Or you can sit and sip a cool drink with great music at "Beach Society", which is also not bad.

You don't have to go anywhere, everything is available at So.

Or for those who prefer to chill with a rooftop atmosphere, there's "Hi-So" for you to sit and enjoy.

This section is located on the 2nd floor of the White Oven restaurant.

Head up the stairs to the Rooftop Bar, where you can choose to sit either inside in the cool air conditioning or outside on the terrace.

Or it could be open on the outside, whatever you like.

Here is the translation:

Ending the second night at So Sofitel here at "Solarium Pool".

Good morning, new day. Would you like a cup of latte art?

After waking up and having breakfast, today we have an appointment to do spa. Along the way, I found cute decorations that reminded me of my childhood.

"So Spa" I'm curious to see how amazing it is.

We have a spa appointment at 10:00 AM. However, we need to check in at 9:30 AM to prepare for changing clothes and filling out personal information.

The data entry is complete... The staff served herbal water with a cold towel.

This spa offers a variety of treatments, including oil massages, Thai massages, and even manicures for women.

Actually, before the massage, there was a stream. But it happened that day was my period, so I had to cancel it.

Next, soak your feet in warm water before placing them on the stones. This will help to remove negative energy from your body.

After we have a relaxing aroma massage...the last step is to sleep in the "Cocoon", a cocoon nest.

The decor is so relaxing, it's like we're lying down and watching the twinkling stars.

I really like this part... I've never seen it anywhere before... I'm so excited about this part.

Relax for 15 minutes, the staff will bring you hot tea and snacks to enjoy.

If the guests finish their massage at the same time, they can come and relax here as well.

This room offers both foot massages and manicures, allowing you to enjoy both services simultaneously.

This afternoon after checking out…we're not going back yet. Every Sunday afternoon.

There will be a Sunday Brunch buffet from 12.00-16.00. If you don't want to get stuck in traffic, then

It's a good idea to start with an all-you-can-eat buffet by the sea. This section is located at "Beach Society".

Price 1500++ per person including soft drinks.

Or, for those who prefer to sip wine, there is an additional charge of 1700++.

Look at the atmosphere, the sea, the sea.

Let's find a suitable corner seat first... this spot is nice... this one is tempting too

Got the perfect angle with a beautiful view...ordered some refreshing juice from the staff.

You can drink any kind of water, as many glasses as you want... unlimited. The atmosphere is so beautiful that it almost melts away with the view in front of you. It's really beautiful.

Let's take a look at the food line. There are both Thai and foreign dishes. You can choose whatever you like.

Let's take a look at the dessert section. There are cakes, various pastries, fruits, and even Thai desserts.

Ice cream with toppings, choose as you like

It's time to go home... Let me take another picture of the Lobby. It's so magnificent.

Saying goodbye to this trip with a picture of the clear blue sky at So Sofitel Hua Hin.

Thank you So for this special trip...Thank you Khun Hart for taking care of us and providing us with good information.

Ms. Noi and the staff at So Spa... For those who like stylish resorts, quiet and peaceful, recharge your body.

Consider So Sofitel Hua Hin, one of the recommended options.

The part that I think should be improved is the bathroom. There is no bidet.

And add a shower head (the room only has a rain shower) otherwise you have to stand in the tub to shower...hehe

Apart from that, there's nothing else. I'm very impressed... I also got to enjoy some art, which is not easy to find in hotels.
