and an informative question- re Sukhumvit Plaza-thats the Korean place about opposite that new Terminal 21 hype-shopping centre. Unimen-ex B&N massage is also in there.
There was a sauna name Playroom. Confirm closed?
When I searched the list of places near the lift, it showed 1 sauna; The King And I. Anyone knows anything about that?
It seems our dear moderator is a fountain of information, but only comes out when challenged?

and anohter new place opened:
GAYA sauna- by a mr. Freeman-known from Albury and the dance-arena. It is not really in Ratchyothin, as their ad says-but further on, along Phahonyotin, between soi 37 and the Kasert crossing-in some court. Thus a little further as Cruising1-opposite side. Open 12-24.00, entry for students 50 bt.
gayasauna.com or via facebook

The web site of the new sauna shows a pic of its steam room which is decorated as a Louis Vuitton luggage.

This afternoon, I visited GG Sauna (Soi Ronnachai 2, behind Samsen Train Station) -- the first time in many years.

I was happy to see that the place seemed to have been spruced up a tiny little bit, and was well patronized.

I was sad to learn, however, that they no longer have staff on hand offering massages.

Late afternoon on this particular Friday, the patrons were much the same as I found at Bangkok 10: largely older and/or quite corpulent. It is much friendlier than Bangkok 10, though, and more Thai-Thai than Chinese-Thai. The older gents (many of whom looked like they might be retired military or police -- lots of mustaches and amulets) seem to use it as a social club, chatting in groups, drinking whiskey, and singing hoary old karaoke hits. A couple were well into their eighties.

The place has the standard facilities: sauna, steam, TV lounge, porn room, restaurant/karaoke, and cruising areas in a sprawling old two-story house.

Condoms and lube available on request from the counter.

Perhaps fans of the old GSM Sauna would also enjoy this place.

FAROSE 1- the one in Sapan Kwai.
This is one of the very, very few sois where the motosy boys balk at you when you walk. There is now a bekpek-style hostel halfway-UDEE-,where you have to turn right into a subsoi for sauna. if you go onward, the locals will yell at you; sauna! No good 9at least that ws what I encountered).
Entry was 150 bt and 1 cdm was given-more for sale@5 bt. DO check that your locker is properly locked. a DUMP-a real dump. 16 yrs old now and showing it as double that. And a real maze-its is 3 houses beside broken open, so 3 stairs making orientation difficult for a 1st timer. Free food-the 10 bt variety, on top deck. Free soft drinks in some kind of bar-where i was very enthusiastically greeted by 2 ladymen-as they said, fom Surin. Untill a new barkeeper came and turned the volume so high I had to split or my ears would split.
Did not find any real sauna (hot air cublicle), but plenty of togetherness in the karaOKroom. The cabins mostly have small or big holes for spying and all seem to have round ''sofa's.''.
Was fairly busy-but it seemed to me 75% waiting for some fillup, and just 25% to do that.
