Best pool in Chiang Mai

[Sydneycraig]

Where is the best swimming pool in Chiang Mai.

Large, clean, sunbeds, gardens...somewhere to swim and nice to hang out too..

Public, hotel or condo ...

Thanks .. I know green hill has a pretty decent pool ... Any other central apartments with nice pools (either <100 a visit or 1 bed apartments in complex under 20k)

Hillside Condo 4 and Nakorn Ping Condo come to mind -- although you'll need to bring your own lounge chair to the one at NKP. Only have concrete poolside furniture, probably for easy of cleaning and to discourage loud pool parties.

Some of the hotel sell memberships to use their pools and fitness centers. Centara, ShangriLa, The Chedi and (more downscale) the Lotus Suan Pang.

Centre of the Universe has a good pool and you can pay per visit, but despite the name it's rather out-of-the-way from the center of town.

hmm, i looked at an apartment at the NKP and it was the crappy pool that put me off living there!

hillside condo 4 is much nicer but still a bit dated...

center of the earth is nice, but not worth the 200b a go, and the ride up there...

will check out some of those hotels...cheers

Thanks, they sound more promising

any pool out there a little deeper than 1.5Mt? Need to probably get to as deep at 2Mts.

RattiLanna is a very nice setup.... a lot of VIPs (National and International) stay there including some rather wealthy Saudi princes. That aside the gym although small is well looked after and sauna is good after a long work out.

The pool is amazing and Ive never seen it busy there so if you want a quiet place then Id recommend it. Gym membership is dearer than Centara Hotel but then Rattilanna doesnt seem as old/date..... sorry I cant give you prices as its been a while since I was last there. Easy to pop in and check, and specials are always available....or so it seems
