too hot ? in Siem Reap

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Kinda depends on your demographic and your purpose for the pool. If you want to do laps and exercise, or if you are younger and want to party and play pool volleyball or something.

Sokhalay has one of the nicer pools I have seen, but it is overrun now by Chinese (although the place is empty during the day) and the pool is the same standing depth throughout. It is a really nice atmosphere and spacious with nice lounging areas.

Funky Flashpacker has a nice vibe if you are younger; it is busy and full of younger bikini clad expats. If you fit into that demographic, you would like it there, even though the pool is a typical rectangle and not too large. You can also swim for free if you buy your drinks.

There are tons of places to take a splash where you can swim for free if you buy a drink, and they are fine for cooling off. I find I always stay at places with pools because I like the ambiance of it, even though I rarely use them.
