I'm looking for a resort or public pool in the south that has waterslides for kids and that will allow outside guests either for a fee or if we consume from their restaurant. Anyone know of one? Prefer Chalong/Rawai/Naiharn area. I know there are a few in Patong, but would like to aviod going there if possible.

Try Centara Grand Beach Resort in Karon, Centara Karon, or U-Sunsuri in Nai Harn. Centara Grand Beach is the nicest as it also has a lazy river and a cliff jump.

Thanks NomadJoe. I gave all of those a call. For anyone interested:

Centara Grand is 1,000 baht per person. 3,500 baht per family of 5.

Centara is 350 baht per person. Half price for kids.

U-Sunsuri do not allow outside guests.

Looks like i'll be taking the kids to Centara this weekend!

Just FYI Centara Grand is much bigger, plus you have the beach there. Centara Karon is just a "lagoon" pool with a couple of smallish watersides. About 1/5 the size of Centara Grand.

You do know about Splash Jungle up north right? http://splashjunglewaterpark.com/
