Either it’s smoldering hot half the year or it’s raining in Bangkok. Either way, the day gets humid and we all need to keep cool. With the summer around the corner, the heat isn’t letting it up. Walk a few meters out of the house and you’re leaving a trail of dripping sweat. Sure, air-conditioned malls and restaurants are a good way to cool off but we think lounging by the pool, sipping on cocktails and listening to snazzy tunes is a much better way to beat the summer heat.

Lucky for us, and you, Bangkok is not shy from hosting some of the most sensational and coolest pool parties. Here are the best ones, at least the ones we know of.

SO Pool Party

Quite possibly the coolest and THE place to be if you’re looking for great music, drink deals and a Hi-So crowd of expats, Thais and even some tourists. They might be the pioneers of a good old fashioned pool party with one of the sickest views of the city and an infinity pool to die for. If you want to be seen, known or get to know people, don’t miss out So Sofitel’s monthly pool party. You’re SO going to love it.
