After undergoing a brief renovation last month, what claims to be Bangkok’s only urban pool lounge has returned with a daily open bar from 3-4pm and 25-percent discount on food from 4-8pm at its indoor beach bar, Cafe de la Mer. It also organizes regular parties by the pool like the monthly French Riviera Sunset Party, Monday Sundown, Spanish-themed La Noche and Sunday Escapes, as well as underground Ocean Basement club nights every now and again—stay updated at www.fb.com/oceanbangkok.

 

This Sukhumvit hotel has been hosting pool parties since the beginning of this year, including the monthly Get Physical Pool & Art Party by Mad Stash Entertainment and Sunblock Pool Party by the Drunken Monkeys, which features live DJs and food and drinks deals. This Mar 29 is the Urban Pool Party, which runs from 2-9pm and features DJs spinning hip-hop, r’n’b, pop and trap. B400 entry for two free drinks before 5pm. Dress code is street fashion, surfer shorts and bikinis.

 

 

So Pool Party takes place on the last Saturday of every month at the Water Club, which offers stunning views of Lumphini Park. Parties run from 1-9pm, and tickets are B400 (one free drink). Expect drink deals, burgers by the pool and selected international DJs. Ladies, keep an eye out on their Facebook page (goo.gl/eWkUqO) for special promotions. The next one is scheduled for Mar 28.

 

 

The gay party organizer G-Spot Entertainment hosts this hotel's monthly pool party, taking place on the first Saturday of the month. The star of the show is Pangina Heals, fresh from her weekly Sunday stint at Maggie Choo’s, who brings her act poolside along with a range of fun games. The next Splash Out Pool Party takes place on Apr 4, from 2-9pm. Entry is free.

 

 

The five-star hotel launched the Friday Night Splash Party back in January, and it’s poised to take place every other month. This one starts at 7pm, catering for those looking for some after-work chill time by the pool before a big night out. Entry to the Pool Bar is B300, which includes unlimited food and one free drink. The next event is TBA.

 

 

Head up to the eighth floor and enter AmBar, the poolside rooftop bar which turns into a tropical island once a month for its Get Wet & Go Wild Pool Party “amBar Island.” Expect a different special bucket cocktail at B350, with other cocktails going for B100 a glass, barbecue snacks, and different DJs hitting the decks every month.

 

 

Probably the pool party that attracts the biggest crowd, Soundset Sundays launched last year and has been holding monthly parties featuring international DJs at alternating venues throughout Bangkok, from Millennium Hilton to Flow House and Holiday Inn Sukhumvit 22. They’ve been recovering from their poolside Bed Supperclub-themed rave at Pathumwan Princess in January, but will be back with a special edition, location TBA, on Apr 5, to get you prepared for Songkran.
