📌Anantara Riverside Checkout Time

Upon checking out, I simply informed the front desk and left my suitcase with them. This allowed me to explore Chatuchak Market, my last-day itinerary, without the burden of heavy bags.
Trying to navigate Chatuchak Market with a suitcase? The thought alone is dreadful!
💡Here's a smart tip!
If you plan to use the pool or showers, I highly recommend packing your swimwear and a change of clothes separately, making them easily accessible.
When I returned to the hotel and asked at the counter, they allowed me to retrieve just the necessary items from my stored luggage.
Believe me, fumbling through your suitcase with a hotel staff member patiently waiting can be a bit awkward!

📌Pool Operating Hours
7:00 AM to 9:00 PM
I was a bit skeptical about whether I could still use the pool after checking out, but it was absolutely no problem!
The afternoon hours were even better for a swim than midday, as it was cooler and more relaxing.

They didn't even ask for my room number upon entry!
The shower rooms were fully equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Plus, they were individual stalls with doors, offering complete privacy – no awkward moments showing your bare self to strangers!
Even better, there's a dry sauna inside! I wish I had known earlier; I would have finished my swim sooner to enjoy it. Make sure you take advantage of the sauna!
Final Tip
If you're planning to use the pool and showers after checking out from Anantara Riverside, I highly recommend booking an airport transfer.
After getting all fresh and clean, the last thing you want is to hail a taxi in the scorching Bangkok heat and start sweating again!
I relaxed in the cool hotel lobby, and my pre-booked car arrived right on time. We loaded our luggage and headed straight to the airport.
I booked my airport transfer through Klook. Since I was traveling with my parents, I wanted a spacious and comfortable car, and Klook offered excellent vehicle options.
