I just got back from 10 days in Bangkok. I went to Babylon on a Monday evening and it was a waste of time, and seemed to empty out by 9. They put stone tiles around the edge of the pool--warning: these tiles are very slippery (makes no sense). Someone will probably slip and crack their skull. I went on a Saturday afternoon and had some limited luck. I learned to leave when the parade starts (by 6).
I think the metal grate connecting area between the two buildings is closed for minor construction--thus one must parade downstairs and up again (although I did not stay late enough when they would open that area).
I went again Sunday afternoon and it was not that great--but I did have a great time with one guy I actively went after.
It's a very ODD place--nothing makes any sense. It also seems that Babylon is mostly Thai going in with other Thai (or Asian going in with Asian). Also, almost totally a fucking place. I don't know why any Thai looking for another Thai would go to Babylon--there are probably 20 other saunas for that.
