The Pool at Banyan Tree Bangkok

"The hotel is also a popular spot to crash for a few nights before heading to the southeast islands; sweat out the jet lag on the outdoor pool deck at the spa or get a massage before a rooftop dinner at Vertigo Grill and Moon Bar"

"The Singaporean chain provides its signature spa treatments over six levels of spa facilities, an outdoor 'sky deck' and two pools"

"Want a massage by the pool? Look for the massage tables and indulge in a 15-minute freebie! Entering the Banyan Tree Spa feels like another world as you pass the lit bamboo art display and head down narrow, black-stone corridors towards one of the 16 treatment rooms"

"There's also an elegant spa and outdoor swimming pool with city views, although it's small for a hotel of this size and can feel cramped"

"The pool on the 21st floor is a special place to be when the sun begins to set on the hotel’s surrounding skyscrapers — the glowing mirror-like façades make for an epic backdrop for a late afternoon swim"

"An outdoor swimming pool on the edge of the city's growing skyline offers panoramic vistas and aquatic relief from the humidity"
