-- The middle-aged & farang acquaintance whose report about his visit to BABYLON SAUNA about wch. I wrote in that thread on 23 jul. also visited MUFFIN SAUNA - Si Lom 2/1., (near to GOD. Dance Arena.);
- He e-mailed me that he visited one day during the evening, (no specifics), and that he was more successful than he anticipated, (again no mention of the others' ages, ethnicities etc. etc.),;
- Apologies for any lack of details, but this is reported speech - hence E&OE.!

-- My middle-aged & farang acquaintance has UP-dated me on his recent visits to saunas as herebelow -

1.- BABYLON SAUNA - Visited on 271400.hrs..
- 'I made the mistake of going to BABYLON SAUNA, it took-away any stamina I might have had. I've never seen such a collection of the ultimate fags. and femmy faces etc.. The place seems to attract the faggiest of fags., but I think mostly on saturdays. It's also a lot of aging queany types.

2.- GREY MEN'S CLUB -
- 'All Chubs. and older Thais.

3. - CRUISING SAUNA 2. -
- 'Had fun there with two of the very few younger ones. It's like a local & Thai hang-out, and mostly older and heavier types, but a few nice ones.'.

-- E&OE. as reported speech.

Anyone been to Men Factory on Silom recently?

I went to the Farose in Saphan Kwai recently, but half of it was closed and the other half was REALLY run down. Just a few, not good looking, guys. Won't be going back.

I also visited Saunamania in Silom on a Friday night. Lots of guys - good looking, good bodies...BUT they were all just walking around...walking, cruising, more walking....and NO action.
Quite frustrating.

NEW place-as from ad in MAX of this oct, but far away in Sam Rong.
Name is Chanchayom, on Sukhumvit 78, also offers fitness and massage m2m, for now entry half price @59 bt. Seems walkable from BTS-end Baring.
Is this maybe a renovation of that place once commented upon as not more as 3 rooms?

-- S'vit. soi 78. is better known for THE STATE CINEMA!
- From Bearing BTS. it's possibly 1M. or MORE walking OUT of BKK.; on same side as IMPERIAL WORLD MALL;
- Hrs. are 17. to 02.oo.hrs..
- for further dir'ns. go to thread >SUCK CINEMAS -> The State Cinema - Sam Rong;
- Looking at the map, part of the advert. on page 1*. of MAX Magazine, this new place is on the RHS. and nearer to S'vit. main rd., before the Small & Ch. shrine and the LEFT:RIGHT dog-leg in the soi; the STATE CINEMA is farther along & down a sub-soi;
- Memory suggests that once Mod. Icon made mention of a Massage Parlor or Sauna whose back door was on Soi 78.?

Yes, there was a place called the Safe House -- a sauna -- with its back door opening up right next to the State. Possibly the same location. The soi is not one of Bangkok's more salubrious, as it is filled with thinly-disguised (straight) brothels and crumbling buildings. Take care.

This Chanchayom place does not seem to exist -- at least not based on the information provided here.

Walked the length of Soi 78 twice today, and it was not to be found.

Spoke with the owner of Safe House (which is still operating next to the State), who said he was unaware of either it or any other place by this description in the area.

Also stuck my head into the State. They were mixing up the regular straight porn with some gay porn today -- which seemed to invigorate the marginal audience.
