For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/JOsQj To add to the previous answer, you do want a thinset, but not just any thinset. Home Depot carries a brand of thinset called Flexbond. It allows for expansion and contraction of the concrete and tile. As for the grout, pick up an acrylic additive to use in place of water. It will hold up better in an outdoor setting. Hope this helps.
If you are redoing your tile,it means they have fallen off from one of two things: 1)movement.....clean the areas where tiles fell off with alcohol,then use silicone to put tiles back on and colored silicone for the grout....wipe excess silicone off tile face with scour pad and dish soap..looks fantastic and gives a little with movement! 2)water got behind tile..you must first fix mastic around pool or area where water is getting behind tile,then put tiles back on as above....the area must be bone dry before you atempt to put tiles back on....alcohol helps dry and clean..
