Was looking to do a 'lane' for swimming rather than a play pool in which to wallow. Would 3m x 20m seem a good size? I am assuming you have a good handle on these things.

Mmmmm...thanks for that. We are just putting in water filtration, pumps etc for the house......can any of this double up for the pool to cut costs?

toofarnorth Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 To save looking at things of no interest why not Price increase imminent on swimming pools instead of just Price increase ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saanim Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 As I have made it for myself with my backyard experience it was 1/10 of the cost lately here publicised. Hence, now, as per the latest scare, it will be 1/20 (or 1/30?). And the running cost even lower, the workmanship of myself is cheaper and cheaper (actually, no pay at all)...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaiyaTH Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 My waterfall is still free and I pay a few hundred a month for gym with pool so best deal I guess. Just the swimming pool maintenance guy I once had at a rented place cost me double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total living area 280 square meters , presently working on 100 square meter addition . I would like to have a pool yes , but the extra in rent required i believe would not be easy to recover having a pool . Only real benefit would make rental more attractive Rubbish is often recyclable i may add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted March 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2022 I'm not as rich as you people appear to be ! The estate we live has the pool in the cost of the bins each month, only 300 baht - or 10 baht a day. Think it better to use the free one than build my own ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchWrapSupreme Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I once stayed at "Resort V" in Huai Khwang in BKK. Great pool. Simple, not very deep, just for swimming laps and relaxing. Always thought something like this would be nice for the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be about right, depending on optional required features. Overflow pools will cost more. Pools in remoter areas will cost more too - this is the disadvantage for expats who built their house in their wife's vilage in Isan and now want a pool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In remote areas in wife's village it can come much cheaper as the wife's cousins are not so expensive as 5-stars professionals with 50 years experience. To make such a simple basin for 5 minutes splashing once a week is not so difficult as to build a new World Trade Centre, is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you would visit a Whitchdoctor instead of a Profesional doctor or Naturapath because the former will charge you 100 baht as apposed to 800 baht? Grow a brain!!! ????

Saanim Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It has to be really a good feeling to swim once a week in 2M pool - and it brings much more to one's health - what's the most important for old people - than in a simple basin that does not need a special professional maintenance with a lot of chemicals, a dernier cry of glass sand and every 5 - 7 years a re-tiling. And for the saved money the wife in Issan can be pursued and forced to buy for herself another diamond ring, or at least a new Benn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
