Home » Reader question » Reader question: What does the construction of a swimming pool cost?
Dear readers,
I live with my girlfriend in Sattahip. We want to have a swimming pool built behind our house. Dimensions 15 x 6 metres. Can someone give a price indication?
Please all-in so with pumps / purification and everything.
What does the maintenance cost per month?
Regards,
Wolter
Dear Walter
What does a house cost.
What does a car cost
Okay you give dimensions at 15 x 6
What exactly do you want
A concrete watertight painted swimming pool
A swimming pool with a rubber seal
A swimming pool with polyester casing
A concrete indoor box tiled with mosaic or 30x30cm tiles.
Finish around the outside and how wide
Concrete or tiled and then 1 meter or 2 meters all around
Where do you want to place the filter installation In a separate building with shower and toilet? Possibly with dressing room?
First sit down and draw up a pla of what I want and take it to a contractor locally.
Do you do it yourself?
Digging a hole with a tractor with a grab?
Simple pool with your dimensions a 3.000 euros. With good installation a 5000 to 7500 euros
Luxurious up to 10.000 Even more exclusive a 50.000 euro.

Hello Walter,
i have a friend in Chiang Mai and with her i visited 'Naihao resort' in April 2019.
There I met the owner and his wife.
She manages the resort and he is a contractor specializing in making swimming pools.
They are very nice people and I am still in contact with them.
I know that he also builds swimming pools elsewhere in Thailand, including near Pattaya and very large hotels, etc
I visited a few with him and I was impressed.
You might be able to contact him and ask your question:

Yours sincerely,
Peter
Very hard to say with this limited data.
Do you want a swimming pool with overflow or collection trays? What shape ? Which tiling?
What form of purification? Are you going to maintain it yourself or have it maintained? How fiep do you want your pool?
Finishing around the pool ?
I would say do your homework first, only then can you give a decent answer.
Remember that with a swimming pool, the environment is just as important. For this, provide approximately at least 2x the surface of the basin! It turns out that people hide NEXT to the basin about 80% of the time….
Hello Walter,
14 years ago I had a swimming pool built in SattaHip.
It is 12 by 5 m plus an extension of 2 by 2 meters for a jacuzzi. Depth 4m 80 cm, 4m slope and 4 m 140 cm. with 3 supply points and 2 discharge points. 2 foundations. Brick stairs, 2 m on the sides and 4 m of concrete on the ends, which are tiled. The entire bath is also tiled. Including a building measuring 2 by 4 meters, a pump/filter room and changing room. Total costs approximately 1.000.000 Bath then approximately 20 Euro.
Also including a vacuum cleaning system.
If you do the maintenance yourself, it will cost approximately 1000 Bath per month on chlorine tablets and anti-algae additives.
If you let it be done , count around 6000 Bath per month .
I had it done by the Pool system company.
Kind regards, Dik Lenten.
Another small addition.
I once had a leak, which turned out to be a poorly glued bend. Total costs, exposing pipes, replacing the bend and pumping out and refilling water, approximately 3000 Bath. Replacing the pump and filter bed after approximately 8 years costs approximately 12 Bath. And after approximately 000 years, the cement (silane) of the stairs and the jacuzzi and the teleworking were re-pointed.
Costs approximately 20 000 .Bath.
Kind regards, Dik Lenten.
The telework must be tiling work.

Hi Walter,
15x6 meters is a good size for a private swimming pool. I myself have a swimming pool of 10x5 meters with a capacity of 75 m3. The costs 12 years ago were 1m Thb. That included the decoration around the swimming pool. You should think of an outdoor shower, decking all around, ground reinforcement.
When considering the construction, you must know exactly what you want for such an investment. Is it customary for yourself to swim laps or just splash, dive, children's entertainment or otherwise. So depth is important.
The more water in the bath, the larger and more expensive the installation becomes. If you already think of 6×15 with an average depth of 1,2 meters (enough to swim laps) then the content is already 108 m3. The overflow/storage tank may also be added.
Have you checked whether the ground behind your house is stable enough to bear that weight? Also take into account your groundwater level in the wet season, otherwise your pool can float.
It seems to me that you still have to orientate yourself quite a bit on this matter, which is quite nice in itself. The best thing is to let owners of a swimming pool in your immediate vicinity tell you about their experiences. Then you can also immediately separate the wheat from the chaff vwb swimming pool builders and / or "skilled" contractors. Building a swimming pool is not simply pouring a concrete box and pouring water into it.
Oh yes, maintenance twice a week costs me 2 Thb / month, which includes (minimal use) of chemicals, minor repairs and of course cleaning (still fairly heavy work if you do it right). Electricity consumption is about 3000 Thb per month.
Dear Walter,
I'm busy hearing about prices, my maintenance company is the frontrunner and knows damn well what he's doing, my pool would be a pool of 12 x 5 and 1.5 deep.
The price is much cheaper than I hear here and I have every confidence in him, he could do this for just under 400 K, which means everything, including the pumps and chlorinator and sand filter and tiling, the concrete thickness for the walls is then 23 cm and he wants 50 cm reinforced concrete for the floor.
I will start the construction at the end of this year, there will only be flooring next to the swimming pool, but I don't know yet whether I will leave the lawn.
