Two questions about saunas and go-go bars
 

Hello all,

I was just wondering if I could pick the board's collective brains on two other questions? I am visiting Bangkok in the next couple of weeks so I want to plan my activities before I get there...

1. Do any of the go-go bars have rooms on site if you 'off' a boy? Somehow it just sounds like hard work to go and find a hotel, but maybe I am just lazy.

2. Someone mentioned that Sauna Mania has loincloth night on Fridays. Needless to say, I will be arriving on Saturday. Does anywhere have loincloth or naked night on Saturdays?

Thanks!

Most bars used to have "short time" rooms upstairs, but it made the bars too much like "brothels" for the comfort of the authorities. So it is now rarer to find them.

I think -- but am not sure -- Solid has one. Also Waterloo in Saphan Kwai. Can't think of any others off-hand.

On the sauna question, I think I'll let Ninja handle that one. I can't keep them all straight. I'm pretty sure that Farose has naked night every night, though, as well as The Door. Ninja?

Farose has naked zone every night after 9-9:30 pm. The Door has naked zone every night after 7 pm. Also Cruising Sauna on Lad Prao and Paradox Sauna near Prakonong still have naked zone every day, I believe. Underground 39 has naked zone every Monday and Wednesday after 7 or 8 pm, loin cloth on all other nights. The Stud used to have naked zone every Saturday and Sunday, but I don't know their schedule now that they've opened under the new name Ass Play. Good View Sauna and Su Casa have naked zone or party night on certain days of the month, but I'm not sure of their current schedule.

Solid, Golden Cock, Alek and Super A all have rooms available upstairs, but some of them of a questionable quality.

Not sure about loin cloth at 39
 

*** LOIN CLOTH ***

According to a very recent post on a Thai-Japanese web board ,
39 will have NAKED ZONE every night from next Tuesday ,
so I am not sure if they will still provide loin cloth .

One of my close friends told me S CASA provided loin cloth insted of a bath towel last time he visited .

The GOOD VIEW provides 2 piece of face towels ( not loin cloth )


*** NAKED ZONE ***

Plus HERCULES has a naked zone for some nights .
And SUKHOTHAI has a naked zone ( according to the same post on the same web board )

Wow, thanks guys... You certainly know your way around Bangkok!

Where exactly are Su Casa, 39, Good View and Sukhothai? And is Underground 39 the same as 39? Do any of these places have websites?

Thanks again for all the helpful advice.

Go to dreadedned.com for full addresses and weblinks. Yes to your question about 39 -- same same.

Waiting for a summary of 39 Sauna's merits as a venue to visit.Scanning the posts I don't think anyone here has actually been.Their advertising sounds interesting especially the cages on site.

I've been to 39; so has Ninja and maybe a few others. Similar crowd to Farose: local, young, and there for sex and free booze. Foreigners a rare sight, and they won't get the same box office as they would at Babylon. Key code is in place: but it on your right wrist to identify yourself as a top, left wrist as a bottom, and or either ankle for versatile. Basic facilities; not fancy, but fairly clean

Thanks! Su Casa is the only one that I can't find on www.dreadedned.com. I had a look on Google as well without much joy... Would anyone happen to have the address?

Sorry, I don't (haven't made it there yet), but it's called "S. Casa" not Su Casa.

The crowd at Underground 39 is as Icon describes it. I've been there 6-7 times, and only once was there another farang there. I like the layout, it gets very intimate because it's small, and the fourth floor is nice with a small, semi-open room on a little mezzanine. I like the layout at the Door better though, particularly the open-air top floor with a steam room and a dry sauna. But it's more of a trek to get out to the Door; 39 is more convenient because it's so close to the Saphan Kwai sky train station. Still, Farose, in spite of its wornout facilities, outshadows the others in terms of number and action and sheer sexual atmosphere. As for all these and other local saunas, the majority of the customers are mainly interested in other asians. But I've never been to any of them and not found someone who is also interested in someone like me. I went to Sauna Mania for the first time yesterday, on their "extra" naked zone night, and I was very impressed. The place is very clean, the maze on the third floor very conducive to action, and the crowd was fun.

S Casa (sorry I misspelled it the first time) is located on Soi Glang Mueang, sidesoi 6 on Lad Prao, just next to the intersection with Rachadapisek. It's one of the few local saunas that I have not been to yet, simply because my thai friends have told me that they have few customers. That may change, though, as the owners seem to be beefing up their publicity with promotions and party nights. The facilities are supposed to be very, very nice.

Thai-reading people will find information on all the local saunas through their ads on the local gay web sites, such as www.69clubx.com www.thaiboyx.com www.gboyx.com www.miragemx.com www.thaimeeting.com www.thailandout.com www.palm-plaza.com

For me the local saunas are a nice break from Babylon - a change of atmosphere and a change of crowd. But in terms of opportunities for a farang, none of them can beat Babylon. It's simply impossible, even if you look like a troll, not to score at Babylon.

upstairs
 

There are still upstairs rooms at Alek, Super A, and My Way. All are pretty basic if not very dirty. Not sure if Solid has rooms, but it's in the old Khun Bar location so it should.

If you're offing boys from Super A, Alek, or My Way, I'm guessing hygiene is not at the top of your list of concerns to begin with. I feel like I need a shower after spending five minutes in one of those places.

seeking clarification....
 

Dear Icon sir,

When u say "hygiene is not at the top of your list" in regards of offing boys from the 3 bars u mentioned

Do u mean the boys there r "unhygienic" or the bars themselves?

Re: seeking clarification....
 

yes
