InterestedSugoya Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Basically, I'd be looking for a clean, unpopulated pool where I'd be able to little by little (super slow at my own comfortable pace), be able to learn to swim. At most I'd just want me and a patient private instructor. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 In which city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtreelove Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Southeast outskirts of Bangkok on the Gulf coast, Samut Prakan. South of BangNa - Bang Phlii - Suvarnabum, : Bang Pu Golf and Sports Club. Municipal 50 meter pool almost always empty during the day. A few swimmers and families on weekends and evenings. Swimming instructors on staff; 100 baht entrance, or 1000 per month. Don't know about instruction prices. Fitness/weight room, badmitton, etc, restaurant at golf clubhouse. 7 am to 8pm. You need a car and good directions, but it's possible to take BTS to Samrong statio and then a taxi from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedSugoya Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thank You guys for your reply. I'll be in Chiang Mai for the first 3 months of my Thai travel, but I may be in BKK after that. I wouldn't mind checking out that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chiang Mai check out the 700 year sports club on the 121 ring road northwest of the city. They have a 50 meter pool and swim instructors. But its quite populated at peak hours, you have to schedule your time to avoid the crowds in afternoon, evenings, weekends. Chiang Mai University has a pool, but I don't know the details of membership and availability of instructors. I used to swim at Mae Jo University also. There is a pool with instructors available at Chiang Mai Land community. Taxi / tuktuk drivers from Night Bazaar area will know 'Chiang Mai Land' - 'pai wai nam' means go swimming. Good luck, learn well, it's good exercise. And if the flooding keeps up you may need it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InterestedSugoya Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Appreciate the reply. I wouldn't mind renting a place with my own pool (if anyone knows where those are "locate-able", because I really need to take baby steps and I feel that this fear of swimming is a pretty embarrasing fear to have.
