BANGKOK: DAY 7

Hotel review Day 7: So Sofitel.
A cool boutique hotel with a stunning view over Lumpini park.
(Bangkok's version of central park)
I loved my stay here, this hotel oozes coolness and the staff are insanely beautiful. 
Enjoyed the modern, minimalistic look of the place....and check out the bathroom view, best one yet.
The hotel has got bikes that you can borrow for free to cruise around the park and the city. 
As you might know, I do love a good bike ride.

BANGKOK: DAY 6


Hotel review Day 6: The Lebua Hotel.
Truly impressive hotel with views to die for. A major bonus was our Tower Club luxury two bedroom and 4 balcony suite that we were pretty impressed with.
Enjoyed a five course meal at the hotel's roof top restaurant Breeze where we got to mix our own special cocktail. And of course, try their signature 'Hangover' cocktail.
(The film hangover 2  was shot at Lebua)

Also, a visit to the flower market in the early hours was so inspiring and is a must if you visit Bangkok.

busy.

As much as i'm loving every minute of our press trip to Bangkok, it is also super intense and busy. 
A normal day; we wake up around 8am, have breakfast and meet with the hotel PR team for a tour of the hotel. We then head off to our next hotel and maybe see some sights if there's time. In the afternoon we spend some time by the hotel pool, do some work and then get ready for dinner, and then some more meetings. It's busy and it's exhausting, but extremely rewarding. We're meeting so many incredible people, eating delicious food and seeing the most incredible places....
Stay tuned for day 6 of our trip.

Couldn't sleep anyway, so we decided to visit The flower market.
And so glad we did. The best time to visit is between 03.00-05.30 am. 
No tourists, just you, the locals and the street vendors.

BANGKOK: DAY 4-5


Hotel review day 4 and 5: The Siam Kempinski Hotel
This majestic resort with its lush green garden and vast swimming pool space, kept us content and relaxed during our stay. We had lots of IDEAL Magazine work to catch up on, so we decided to stay at this grand hotel for a little while longer and work (reviewing luxury hotels can't all be play). We were spoilt rotten by the hotels amazing staff and the lovely PR Manager Yanisa. During our stay, we were invited to review their Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin restaurant which was recently voted as one of Asia's 50 top restaurants. Our 10 course tasting menu was above all expectations.
