We enjoyed the pool at the St. Regis Bangkok on this trip.

Reason for visiting the pool: Relaxing in Bangkok

Planning a trip to Thailand with my family and decided to leave the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and relax by the pool at the St. Regis Bangkok, planning a 4-day/3-night itinerary, visiting Wat Pho and Icon Siam before relaxing at the hotel. Reservations were made through the official website, and a deluxe room (44 square meters, from about 35,000 yen per night) was selected. According to our research, the pool at the St. Regis is especially popular during the summer months (June-August) and is free of charge for hotel guests; as a tip, Marriott Bonvoy membership offers point rewards and priority use of the pool. Fly from Haneda to Suvarnabhumi Airport and take a Grab to the hotel (about 1,000 yen, 30 minutes). This choice started the healing process of our trip.

Pool atmosphere: Luxury oasis on the 15th floor

The outdoor pool (20m x 8m) on the 15th floor has a modern design and Bangkok skyline. There were numerous reclining beds, typical of a luxury hotel, and staff handed out towels and complimentary mineral water. According to our research, the pool is for guests only and includes a Jacuzzi and bar. In my case, I relaxed by the poolside with my daughter and was comforted by the warm hospitality of the staff.Tips: Avoid the crowds by visiting early in the morning from 9:00 to 10:00 am. Bring sunglasses and a hat because the sun is strong by the pool. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing.

Pool comfort: moderate coolness and pleasure of exercise

The water in the pool was moderately cool and comfortable in the Thai heat (32°C). I enjoyed breaststroke with my daughter and refreshed myself with light physical exercise. According to our research, the pool’s water temperature is kept at around 28°C and is deep enough for children to swim safely (1.2 m). In my case, I smiled as my daughter practiced swimming and enjoyed the water fun with my family.Tips: Bring a floatation ring and goggles for your children. Lifesavers are stationed at all times, so you don’t have to worry. This comfort was the lifeblood of our trip.

Poolside service: warmth of staff

Staff will politely show you around the poolside and set up reclining beds. Mineral water is provided free of charge, and alcohol (beer about 800 baht, cocktails about 1,200 yen) can be ordered. To enjoy with my daughter, I refrained from alcohol and ordered a mango juice (about 600 baht). According to our research, the butler service at the St. Regis extends to the pool and is flexible to guest requests; one tip is to order drinks early to shorten the waiting time. Tips include ordering drinks early to reduce wait times, and requesting non-alcoholic items if you are with children. This service made family time special.

Family pool time: bonding with daughter

Enjoying breaststroke with my daughter, playing in the water with a smile on her face. According to my research, the St. Regis pool is family friendly and children’s life jackets are available for rent. In my case, my daughter’s “I want to swim more!” As a tip, the pool is crowded after 3:00 p.m., so I recommend visiting in the morning. Capturing children’s smiling faces with a waterproof camera. This time became a warm memory of our trip.
