As guests arrive at SO Sofitel Bangkok, located on the corner of North Sathorn road, the seasoned City Guru will be on hand to create tailor made tours and activities, lending knowledgeable recommendations for the best hidden gems and things to do in Bangkok. Whether travellers are interested in art and culture, shopping, authentic Thai cuisine or even Bangkok’s fitness scene, there is something in the lively Thai capital to suit everyone’s tastes.

Art-enthused travellers can find inspiration in the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, located in the heart of the city’s shopping district, which cultivates creativity and promotes contemporary arts with commercial art galleries, craft shops, an art library as well as performance spaces for music, film, theatre, design and even revolving galleries; featuring work by both local Thai and International artists. With an abundance of other immersive art spaces located just steps away from the hotel, such as Woof Pack Bangkok and the Bangkok CityCity Gallery, there is a world of creativity to inspire guests of SO Sofitel Bangkok. Further afield, the Kalwit Studio & Gallery offers urban painting and printwork designed to convey the social issues of the Thai community, whereas the Anata Kama Gallery offers a rare blend of International contemporary art, fashion and designer jewellery displays.
