Development
The British Club Bangkok is coming to the end of a multi-year, £3 million redevelopment of its poolside facilities. In 2018, the Club opened its new Silom Wing with an open-air café, children’s swimming pool & multi-play area, two air-conditioned, glass-backed squash courts, an interactive room, a games room and Kids Stop … a family play and eating area.
In 2021, a new covered open air Café will open topped by a glass-walled Sports Bar viewing both the tennis courts and the main swimming pool – in addition, there will be a new pool view fitness centre, massage & therapy rooms, and new state of the art changing facilities - see the Club Development tag.
