don't really get that obsession with gsm sauna. on my only visit there years ago, it was filled with chubby thai chinese (and a few white chubs too). at least 65% of gays are in various states of chubbiness. u can go anywhere, sauna, club, bar, park, sex cinema, shopping mall or local gym, to meet chubby asians. u don't need gsm sauna to see/meet them.

You and me both, gweilo. It's not as if there weren't 20 or 30 other saunas in town...

well, dear sextile, hen you have even more as I have listed somewhere-but I am not really all keeping that uptodate. I guess a fair lot fot hose have changed name (do you also check the adresses?) and various may have closed by now. In fact about any of all those gay listing-sites are incomplete.
For a short overview of gay bisnis in BKK these are my approx. figures:
GOGO-about 12/13-bar 2 all around Silom
KaraOke-5-6, all in Sapan Kwai
disco/pub with dancing: 12-15, bar 2 all out of Silom! (RamkamHaeng, Ratchda-8, OToKO/Chatuchak)
M2M massage-around 70-80 (plus those ''in denial'' around Silom)
sauna-40-50 (or maybe then even more)
Very rough approx estimate: 1000/1200 boys working in the Gogo's/KaraOK and same nr-slightly more, in the M2M massage. other places do not normally employ boys for direct rent.

-- Khun Pong,
- Thanks for yr. reply.
- I do try to keep my info. up-to-date as best as I might; but not getting out and about as much as I used to do I fear lest it might be a losing battle now. Hence an INCREASING reliance on other members of CFS. and of other web-sites.
- Still, I'll keep trying, and I can be v. trying when I want to be - ha!

Visited Deja Vu Sauna last night after earlier posts in this thread triggered my curiosity. It was my first visit to this sauna and it appeared to be a pleasant experience. As a starter, the place was spotlessly clean, well designed for its purpose and friendly. Being Sunday, it had a good crowd. I arrived around 8 which seemed to be its peek visit time. I was told that it closed at 01.00. I left around midnight at which time there was not many guys left.
The theme was naked (every Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun), and at 9 they organised a fuck session. I believe that the naked theme was the main attraction for the majority of the crowd as not all visitors entered the fuck zone. The entire building was dedicated as a naked zone.
Entry to the fuck zone was not as strictly regulated as described earlier in this thread. The guys were pretty average, some heavies, most average good looking and some few stunning guys.
The place had some very good vibes, people were geared on action and not just strutting around. Being in the same mood, I had the pleasure of participating in lots of action - both before and during the communal fuck session.

Where's Deja Vu?

Dejavu Sauna is in Lad Prao Soi 122. It is easy to find as it is located just at the start of the Soi and properly signposted. I once again visited Dejavu last Thursday which is one of their naked nights. On Thursdays, all their staff are also naked, providing some nice eye candy.
On weekdays it seems that the sauna gets busy after office hours. Around 7.00 pm I was surprised to see how busy the place was, considering it being a normal working day. The entrance fee may have contributed to this as it was only 99 Baht. The place was crowded with lots of good looking guys and action was plentiful. Certainly worth a repeat visit.

Dear Sextile,
I do not live nearby Dejavu Sauna, although many of its patrons do. Must confess that I am not well versed in the bus system of Bangkok. I rely on Google maps when exploring new places in this city and before venturing into the many unknown corners of the city in my car. Recently, I also figured out how to use the GPS facilities in Google maps. My Iphone can then be used as a navigator. I would estimate that a taxi drive from Silom would be in the order of 150 to 200 Baht, all depending on the traffic.
Soi 122 is easy to find and the Sauna is located appr. 20 metres into the soi on your right hand side. It is properly sign-posted.

Dear sext-and others. This is quite near to White House Spa, but other side of LPRao, for approx. directions
bus 514 from Silom passes-but that will take more as 1 hr daytime/even more early evening.
Take MRT=metro to lard prao and take any bus eastward, (514 and 73KOH come from Ratchada), on the whole of Lard Prao (can also board at Mochit/BTS) nrs like 145, 8, 44, 96 travel the whole of Lard Prao till the Mall Bangkapi (by then you have gone too far)
Or-for the BKK knowalls and adventurous- take BOAT along Saen Saep canal from beside BigC/opposite WTC, get off at MALL Bangkapi (near the end-about anyone gets off there) and walk.
Taxi can take express way Art narong till halfway on lard prao, but from Silom area this wil hardly save time.
