A tropical oasis that manages to be calm, collected, and conceptual.

On the edge of Lumpini Park, SO/ Bangkok takes the five elements as its starting point, with Thailand’s leading designers re-interpreting the essence of water, earth, wood, fire, and metal across the hotel to create distinct room styles. Guests are encouraged to select the element they feel closely affiliated to, channelling inner peace and serenity.

Like to dive,surf, or maybe your moods are fluid? Dark rooms that convey the elegance, stillness, and mysticism of water are for you. Or is dry land more your scene? Choose a room with primaeval wall etchings inspired by Northern Thailand’s cave paintings, depicting the wonders of the earth element.
