I am looking to spend a day in Chiang Mai for a special occasion/ suprise and am looking for somewhere in the city / ie a hotel or something that allows non guests to use their pool? I am thinking of taking my other half out for sunday lunch and then would like to chillout by the pool afterwards....any ideas/ suggestions?

thanks

The best one I have seen is at Eco Resort - 100 Baht for non guests, very nice, it is at;

Shangri-La. Nice pool and buffet lunch. Can't remember if the BBQ is on Saturday or Sunday. Really beautiful there.

2 weeks ago I went to the Shangri-La buffet lunch and found out their pool offer is no more.

The only way to get access to the pool for non-guests is by signing up for a fitness membership, 2X,XXX baht yearly.

Depends upon how much you wish to spend. The Ratilanna Hotel has a spectacular pool with a bar that you can access from within the pool. Very peaceful there and the hotel staff are very attentive. Use of the pool for the day costs 200THB. http://www.ratilannachiangmai.com/
