Soho Pool Club — Phuket's Marina Social House

Soho Pool Club is Phuket's easy-going social house on the water — a free-to-use pool, a full bar and kitchen, a wellness studio and an upstairs sports clubhouse, all under one roof at Boat Lagoon Marina in Ko Kaeo. It's the kind of place you drop in for lunch and leave after sunset. The pool is the heart of it, and it's free — no entry fee, no day pass, no minimum spend. Order something from the kitchen or the bar and the loungers are yours. Families, marina regulars and day guests all share the same unhurried afternoon. In the kitchen, Chef Ai cooks Thai classics and international favourites side by side — from Pad Thai and Massaman to Australian Wagyu smash burgers and wood-fired pizza — with a proper wine list and a cocktail menu to match. Poolside by day, Friday happy hour at five, private dinners in the Andaman Dining Room by night. Beyond the water there's more: Soho Wellness for sauna-and-ice-bath contrast therapy, the upstairs Clubhouse for live sport and F1 on the big screens, and Simpro Academy's racing and flight simulators just inside. It all sits on a working marina, so there's always something moving on the water.
