Good deal.. Unless of course it refers to some swimming pool inside the housing estate compound..

Rental houses with swimming pools are rare, and would normally command an insane rent. Which would be silly, like: House A: 10,000 baht. House A + furniture + swimming pool: 25,000 baht. .. right. Swimming pools aren't THAT expensive to dig and install. (Requires maintenance though, chlorine chemicals, etc, etc. It's a bit of a hassle and other than the 'look at me with my own swimming pool'-factor you might as well use the semi-public pool your housing estate.. :-)

A pool that is properly constructed will cost you at least 500,000 baht if you don't do it yourself (one local company charges 600,000 for the cheapest model) . That could be a fairly high percentage of your home's building cost..

How often do you think they change the water in those public pools? Once a week? Once a month?......How about NEVER?

Chemicals are used to deal with water sanitation issues. Extremely dangerous chemicals, too, like Chlorine...Also, a number of deaths occur each year from infections caused by poor maintenance of public pools...In a waterpark in the States last year, 20 people got sick and 2 people died in one instance....

A pool is a luxury, but for some, it is literally a lifesaver to their health, and a public pool is not a practical option- especially for the naked swimmers among us...

I wish you hadn't said that.. Tried to yank the 'imagination' module from my brain but was too late.

I know the feeling!

Here's a different, more artistic perspective for your module.....
