astral Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Not sure there are any. Thailand is not a swimming nation. You could try the local canal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 there was a thread on this subject not so long ago, maybe you should try searching this and general/pub forums.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurseNana Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I consider most hotel pools in Bangkok as public. Never had a problem using them whilst not a resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Central Bangna Shopping Centre has a 'splash world' on the top floor. Has aquazooms and rapids (not very rapid though ) and some splash size pools. For a proper pool (with low diving board) - Bangna Mor Baan Nah-pah-ley (sorry no Thai keyboard on this PC - Hor Hip - Mor Mah (Mai Eek) - Sala Ooh - Bor Bai Mai - Sala Ah - Nor Noo (Mai Toe) - Nor Noo - Por Sam Pow - Sala Ah - Lor Ling (mai han-akat) - Yor Yak (Phew!!!) - note: You must wear knicker type trunks, not swimming shorts (they will lend you some, and if you are 12 and don't mind singing soprano for a few hours after, they may even fit you). Flood lit at night. Rich area of Bangna (BKK), so not too crowded. Changing rooms and a cafe are the only other amenaties. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I consider most hotel pools in Bangkok as public.Never had a problem using them whilst not a resident. I agree. I don't think it's a problem unless you happen to be one of those smelly backpackers from the koa-sarn road area. My advice is to enter the hotel premises wearing a nice pair of slacks & clean shirt, oh & for goodness sake don't swim in those awful 'speedos' trunks ... have a little consideration for the hotel residents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermespan Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thank you all for contributions. After the next trip I will post reviews of all swimming pools I use.

I do not understand. Is this a list of individual swimming pools, each location separated by a dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Thank you all for contributions. After the next trip I will post reviews of all swimming pools I use. You have outdone yourself. 5 years old thread. Those who started it back in 2004. could be dead, are banned or have not logged in for years.

soundman Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Don't need two swimming pool topics running at the same time. Closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
