  1. Great page, thanks a lot!

    Are there any pools with deckchairs or are there hotels that allow the use of their pool for non guests, preferably in Chit Lom area or not too far away?

  2. Sivalai Clubhouse Ozone pool is a 25m pool, not 50m as noted. The fee at August 2024 is B$150.

    Wisuratom Pool is at the National Stadium, super-accessible location. I had a lovely swim there on the weekend. When I returned mid-week was told no public access Monday to Friday. 2m deep pool.
