Continuing the Babylon discussion, it might just be that farang-oriented saunas everywhere (United States, etc.) are in decline, and are discounting prices. My theory is that younger guys are turned off by the older guys, and further, a tipping-point was reached on the mental illness (weirdness) in the places. But it seems that the saunas in Bangkok that are overwhelmingly Thai customers are still crowded. One farang living in Bangkok (who's an expert on saunas in Bangkok) said he never could figure out the mentality of Babylon (indicating it was totally weird, and he avoided the place). By the way, if I want to meet non-Thai Asians on my next trip (soon), are Babylon and Silom Soi 4 the best places to cruise?
