So Sofitel Hua Hin
So Sofitel Hua Hin is a really good superior first class hotel. Highly individual design style, both in the public areas and rooms.
Description & Location
Formerly known as De La Paix, So Sofitel have brought new innovations to this attractive resort hotel. The style is minimalist and modern, with some rather delightful quirky touches, which is the signature of the So Sofitel brand. It is actually located located on a quiet beach at Cha Am rather than in Hua Hin, about three hours drive south of Bangkok (maybe longer if you travel weekends). Cha Am village is about 5 minutes drive, and neighbouring Hua Hin about 25 minutes drive away.
Accommodation
So Sofitel Hua Hin has 71 Studio style rooms facing the long courtyard gardens.
You have a choice of:
So Comfy and larger So Studio. On the ground floor So Family and So Family with Kids House (A separate tent style room with bunk beds and linked to the main room).
You have two styles of room interior – Arty and Nature. Arty tend to be red in colour, a combination of contemporary and traditional with original pieces of art as a showcase. Nature tend to be green or light blue (see main image above) with a rustic wooden theme. Both are nicely spacious and attractively designed.
Also you have a selection of So Villas, which are closer to the beach. They have a walled garden with private pool, one bedroom, large lounge and separate TV room. These can be converted into Two Bedroom Family Villas by modifying the TV room.

Hotels in the Gulf of Siam Islands
> About The Gulf of Siam Resorts
Located on the west coast of the Gulf of Siam, just over 2 hours drive south of Bangkok. For years they have been the aspirational centre for affluent Thai families who have holiday homes in the area. The two resorts run into each other along the coast, with Hua Hin the more developed with many hotels and in particular high rise condominiums.
> Journeys Through Thailand
With a total diversity of scenery and cultures, depending, on the region, multi centre touring options within Thailand are popular. There are excellent air links between most of the major cities, as well as good roads. The following are just a few Tour ideas for Thailand and each can be easily modified to suit your personal requirements.
Paradee Resort, Koh Samet
The Paradee Resort is an attractive little resort, maybe more ‘Maldivian’ in style than Thai, with three rows of thatched roofed cottages. The island of Koh Samet is one of the closest to Bangkok, just a short 2 hours drive south, followed by a 20 minute speedboat ride.
Cape Nidhra Hotel, Hua Hin
The Cape Nidhra Hotel is a stylish contemporary all pool suite boutique resort. Located just a short walk from the centre of Hua Hin, just over 2 hours drive from Bangkok.
Wonderfully stylish, totally cool and chic. Romantic, mainly couples focused – children are accepted, although apart from the pool section there are no specific facilities.
Le Vimarn Cottages Resort and Spa, Koh Samed
Le Vimarn Cottages Resort and Spa is simple, charming and friendly. It is not deluxe, but a more first class authentic tropical flavoured (and a lower priced) option to its sister property, The Paradee.
High Season Pool Villa & Spa, Koh Kood
High Season Pool Villa & Spa is wonderfully rustic, thatched-roofed, chic elegance. This is sublime tropical chillout, with all the contemporary comforts you could crave.
Chiva-Som International Health Resort, Hua Hin, Thailand
The Chiva-Som International Health Resort is an award winning and adult only resort. Traditional Thai hospitality combined with the very best and innovative health and wellbeing. Located just south of Hua Hin, 3 hours from Bangkok Airport.
Frequently imitated, but rarely surpassed. Chiva-Som International Health Resort is wonderfully calm and serene.
Soneva Kiri Koh Kood Island
Soneva Kiri Koh Kood offers Chic stripped down luxury. The island is famous for its waterfalls, beaches and traditional village life – Soneva Kiri embraces all of these but adds their own special ingredient of barefoot elegance and jet set style. The island is located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Siam, close to the border with Cambodia.
