I LOVED IT! I loved every bit of it (except the lighting)! I had so much feels from watching the series that i had push most of my constant fandom friends to watch it and even used one of my old twitter accounts to a Sotus-focused one.
Around early October, Cebu Pacific had a seat sale and I booked tickets to Bangkok because 1) Its my favorite country, 2) I was so into Sotus and 3) I couldnt purchase the Krist-Singto and Off-Gun line stickers and if i go to Thailand, I'll have a thai number and i would be able to purchase it.
In preparation for my trip, I asked a lot of people about the places in the drama and got some information like the name of the school, P' Arthit's apartment and the mall where they had a date LOL. I rewatched Sotus and Sotus S and took screenshots (all credited to GMMTV) of the places i plan to visit.
A few days before my trip, I booked The Bedroom Ladprao 101 (I know so late). This is the hotel where P' Arthit's room is in Sotus S the series. His room number is B507 and I requested the management to give me that room if it was available. Luckily, it was available. Can you believe it? I actually stayed in P' Arthit's room. Based on the headboard in Kong's room, I think his room was actually B508 but I am not sure :D I'll check when I go back this October.

(Before you book, maybe you can ask them via FB if the room is available like what I did. All requests are subject to availability)
We were so excited and did a live on our FB page.

Here are some pictures of the room:

If you want to spend most of your time in downtown Bangkok, I do not suggest you spend all your days here. It is a bit far from MRT and BTS. I used Uber to get around. The nearest MRT station is Ratchadapisek or Lat Prao.
My next destination was The Scene Community mall around Bang Kapi. It's 15 minutes away from The Bedroom by Uber. This is where Kong bought the bear for his niece, P' Arthit got a haircut, watched a movie etc. Supposedly, the noodle house would be here but i guess it closed down already. Even the sushi place during the start of Sotus S had a different restaurant in its place.
Here are some of the pictures from the scene:

| Where Kong bought the bear for his niece. This is Daiso BTW |
 |
| IDK if they really had a movie house before because when i went there, there was none. |
 |
| There were many customers in the salon so i got shy and didn't go inside to take a picture. |

There are lots of Shabushii around Bangkok so I asked the production team on FB where they filmed Sotus S. I was surprised that they responded and told me it was at Tesco Lotus Bangkapi branch.

Just click the EN for english for directions to RSU :) https://www2.rsu.ac.th/info/rsu-directions
We rode a bus and a kind Auntie who was getting off at the same stop brought us to the motorcycle stand and told the drivers to bring us to Rangsit University. I was so giddy seeing the places in the school especially the ones from special scenes :)
Here are some pictures:

| We seriously went everywhere in the building only to find it at the last place we went to 5555 |

 |
| I always thought they were in the middle of the stands LOL It was the side after all |
 |
| I found this place because there were two students doing their photoshoot near this place. |
 |
| We were surprised that this place was open. However, the lights were closed so the shot was grainy ToT |
 |
| This was the first place we found after the building. I was spazzing like crazy~ |
 |
| For those who like 0058 story line, this place is familiar:) |
 |
| That scene when Kong couldn't study because P' Arthit is so distracting |

| What is there to worry about? we are in a relationship~ |
After spending 4 hours around this area, we really couldn't find the canteen where P' Arthit always buys pink milk and gave Kongpob his gear. If any of you knows where it is, please tell me so I can go there 55555
I went to Rama VIII Park after Rangsit University. I missed the last ferry so i had to ride Uber. My driver made a mistake and i actually crossed the bridge twice. I was a little worried that it might be dangerous since it was already around 8pm and i was alone but there were lots of people exercising in the park. I walked around and found the places from both seasons as well as the teaser in episode 13 5555
The scenes were mostly filmed inside the second half of the park. I was having a difficult time taking pics because there was always something wrong in the picture then i figured the scenes were taken on the other side of the park.
I climbed the Rama VIII bridge. At first, i thought that the scenes were at the right side so i went down the left side and transferred only to realize it was filmed on the left LOL
Last stop on my list was P' Bright's bar. I seriously had a difficult time finding out the name because no one knew the name of the bar. While rewatching season 2, there was a part where M and May were flirting and the name was visible. The name of the bar is Sanook Nuek Pub and Restaurant at Bangkapi area (surprise surprise). It's a 15 minute drive from The Bedroom Ladprao 101. You can find it on Uber :D
I got to the bar at 10PM on a Sunday night and I was the only customer LOL. I couldn't order because the menu was in Thai and there were no pictures. Luckily, my friend, Mim, was almost home and she ordered for me. The place looked different already than the series but you will still find some of the things in the same place as the series.

I feel happy that I was able to go to these places. I still have a bunch of filming locations I want to go to but didnt have enough info. I hope i can go there in the future :)
