In a city where "urban oasis" is a term thrown around far too loosely, Baitong Hotel & Resort actually delivers on the promise. This BKK1 standout feels less like a hotel and more like a vertical forest, where the concrete jungle of Phnom Penh is systematically replaced by hanging gardens and the soothing hum of falling water. For families looking to trade the dusty street-side chaos for a day of high-concept splashing, Baitong offers a trio of swimming pools that are some of the most photogenic in the capital.

The flagship pool is on the rooftop, where a 15-meter infinity pool serves up city views in industrial-chic design. Surrounded by a sprawling wooden sundeck and bright red umbrellas, the real draw here is the glass-bottom section that offers a dizzying view of the courtyard far below—a guaranteed hit for adventurous kids and a slightly nerve-wracking thrill for parents.

If the rooftop feels a bit too "see-and-be-seen," head down to the hotel’s leafy, open-air courtyard. Here, two additional pools are tucked amid a lush hanging garden. The upper level features a suspended Jacuzzi, where water cascades dramatically into the "forest pool" below, creating a tranquil, shaded sanctuary that remains remarkably cool even during the midday heat.

While all pools are reserved for the hotel's guests, they do offer a day pass package that looks pricey, but is actually an amazing deal.
