in the sky Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What is the best/least expensive pool on the west side of Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanchao Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ang Kaew Lake at CMU? Otherwise it would be the one at the 700 Year Stadium I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Not the best, but 10 or 20 baht, depending if you're a member: public pool in Chang Puak neighborhood, south of Simon Cabaret, on the little soi that goes east from the 7-11 if you're heading north of Chiang Mai Ram hospital, beyond the moat.

mcgriffith Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ang Kaew Lake at CMU? Otherwise it would be the one at the 700 Year Stadium I guess. Wouldn't recommend the CMU reservoir Ang Kaew ever, but I know chanchao was speaking tongue-in-cheek. You have to join a gym, that has a great pool as part of the package. I go to CM Orchid. Old funky gym, but it gets the job done; machines, freeweights, etc. With the gym membership you have access to one of the best pools in CM, IMHO. Problem is, it ain't cheap. 8000 THB a yr, or 1500/mo. But I am a pool rat; swim laps almost every day- gotta have it. So check it out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgriffith Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 PS to the above- no day passes available at CM Orchid. Not sure, but heard Lotus Hotel (next door; in back of Kad Suan Kaew Central) offers day usage. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What is the best/least expensive pool on the west side of Chiang Mai? This one has my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterme Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Anodat Hotel upped thier price to 80, I think. Not heated, it gets chilly Dec/Jan Hotel by Gad Suan Gaew is 100. I hear it's nice, but never been there. Also, next to Gad Suan Gaew is a set of 5 highrise apartments. Yellow with blue trim. They have a small pool for 40 baht, but not sure if it's open to the public or just residents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Anodat Hotel upped thier price to 80, I think. Not heated, it gets chilly Dec/Jan I don't think that there are ANY heated hotels in Chiang Mai other than Ajarn's bucket-heated pool. Most people stop swimming in December and January including me. Does anyone know of any heated pools in Chiang Mai or ones that just stay warm for some reason? Edited April 25, 2007 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMwoman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) The Imperial Chiang Mai resort (sportclub) has 50 m. pool but not that well maintained. Despite the occasional missionary invaders meeting, it is nice and quiet. If you apply to be a member its 1,500 Baht per month or you pay 200 baht per time. If you come with member its 100 baht.

Ajarn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) bucket-heated pool Actually, it's heated by a 1000 foot hose. I swim December/ January, but it's 'cool' not warm... Edited April 25, 2007 by Ajarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
