a little better pool on Suk?

[Big Kev]

Past two summers, I've stayed at Manhattan and at Thai Pan. Considered both hotels acceptable and pretty good bargains on most dimensions (though had to request better room than originally given at both places).

 

However, neither of these places had particularly good swimming pool.

 

Anyone have suggstions for hotel with nicer pool? Bigger, more comfortable chairs for sunning, etc.

 

I'd be happy to pay a little more, but thinking Marriott might be an option, I checked their website to find rates over $100 US. Not willing to go that high!!

 

Thanks for any help, pals.

I have'nt been there for about 2 yrs but the Ambassador had a reasonable pool along with an interesting Avery.

Hotel Royal Benja, between Soi 5 and Soi 7. Good and large pool.

(attention,this hotel is not guest friendly).

Yep. In Suk area, Tai Pan, as Regency Park, Amari Boulevard or Novotel Lotus swimming pools are quite small and shadey, which is a big turn-off for me also. Imperial Queen's Park pool is better but not that pleasant IMO.

 

The best pool I've found in a Bangkok's middle-priced hotel is out of Suk, in Novotel Siam Square ; large, very confortable, with nice views on SS, and the most important, totally sunny from dawn till dusk.

 

Hope this help.

President Park on Suk Soi 24 has a large Swimmingpool and a good Gym as well; look at this Review which also shows a photo of the pool
