Let’s face it, the weather is always hot in Laos. That means you pretty much always feel like going for a swim, don’t you? But sometimes a public pool just doesn’t cut it. Public pools are not always well maintained and can carry a wealth of bacteria and infectious diseases. Pool operators need to constantly monitor chlorine and pH levels, else harmful germs such as Giardia, E. coli and cryptosporidium parasites can take hold. But if you don’t have a pool of your own, where’s the next best place to take a dip? Probably a hotel swimming pool. Rather than simply dumping a host of chemicals in and hoping for the best, hotels usually hire a full-time pool guy to manage chemical levels and vacuum out the pool. Hotel swimming pools also attract less swimmers per day than public pools.
