Pool Side Bars
January 3rd, 2008
Aldo’s
7/F, The Ascott Sathorn Bangkok, 187 South Sathorn Rd., 02-676-6982. Open daily 11am-midnight.
Sip fine cocktails under their sala while having Mediterranean food by the pool located in the middle of the outdoor area. If you’re lucky, there might be a foreign guest with a tight 6-pack doing some laps in the pool.
Amapola
72/1 Sukhumvit Soi 51, 02-258-7077. Open daily 6pm-midnight.
This steakhouse and Cuban-styled bar is hidden away in the end of Sukhumvit Soi 51, and behind it, lies a clear blue pool surrounded by a dark wood terrace. Very private, quiet, and their wine bar just opened—but you can always stick to cigars and mojitos.
Bay Ta Ra
100 Soi Ram Buttri, Chakrabongse Rd., 02-281-2899. Open daily 6pm-1am.
In a sub soi off Rambutri, this tiny white bar has a vivid blue pool right on the front porch. You can chat, drink and enjoy easy listening tunes played by in house bands nightly. If you want to tip the waiters, throw some coins into the pool. When it’s closing time, watch them dive for all that change!
Pool Bar & Snack Lounge
9/F, The Tivoli Hotel, Soi Sri Bumphen, Yen-Arkart Rd., 02-249-5858. Open daily 9am-11pm.
Located on the top floor of the hotel, this pool has a view of the city and lets you watch the night sky with a little less interference from the streetlights. At sunset, the Miami décor really bursts with colors: orange chairs, blue pool, green glass partitions and the show in the sky.
