I have stayed at Barracks and recommend a stay there once if you are a regular visitor.The conditions are basic but in a stylish minimal way.Very smart.

Was at Babylon 2 months ago and found it the best venue for Thai/Farang mix and would rank it still one of the worlds best.However,I agree the original was the best.The spa is the worst feature but with saunas being very hard to keep clean Babylon keep up pretty well compared to most.Check out Heaven also for a quiter but spotless sauna and Chakran is a venue of high standard.
