You might get lucky, but if you want a sure thing Babylon is still the place to go.

Any updates on this Mufill sauna?

Quote |

no, but as there are well over 40 sauna's in BKK by now (see listing on sites like dragoncastle or tmmsociety-all down under after the Thai), you cannot reasonably expect reports from all that all the time.
In the general sauna thread I'll try to keep up with a general view and some personal visits to very nearby (as I now also sit on RamKamHaeng-the TRIO and TORPEDO), Muffill is very closeby-in a soi off LardPrao at Bangkapi

We're up to forty saunas now? Wow. Is there any place in the world that matches up?

Quote |

-- In my Address Book I have 59 saunas, from ABACUS SAUNA to ZONE SAUNA;
- True that some of them may have CLOSED, but equally I may well have missed the later arrivals; (it's not always easy keeping up-to-date, despite the best efforts of our Gentle Readership.),.

Quite a few have passed on -
I missed out visiting Burano about 8 yrs ago. Otoko, near Niagara Hotel, City of Angels in Silom Robinson bldg, then down near Shangrila, David D'Bangkok near Khao San, some times Hercules may as well be dead, one next to Tawana Hotel (it was only open a few months)

"I missed out visiting Burano about 8 yrs ago. Otoko, near Niagara Hotel, City of Angels in Silom Robinson bldg, then down near Shangrila, David D'Bangkok near Khao San..."

Thanks for the memories.

Don't know Burano, City of Angels not my cup of tea (each to his own), but:

- Otoko, I guess 15 to 20 years back, I can recall many really great times at this venue with lots of very pleasant young men. One of the very first such venues. Limped along for many years then failed and closed, and of course years later the same style of venue now flourishing with dozens of venues.

- David D'Bangkok, again many many years back, some great times with really nice always hot guys, always pleasant and polite, great memories.

Also one of the very first such venues, very Thai operation, not looking for farang customers (but not negative to farang customers), usually had to take your time to let the massage man get used to the idea of having a farang customer, and usually some 'shock' that the farang could speak Thai.

I met a Silpakporn university student there a long long time ago, he's now a dear friend and holds a high position in the Thai Fine Arts ministry.

Thanks gregvc for the memories.

the other one was Volt is Soi Asoke, about the late 80's.

Quote |

Also:

- Boss, also in Soi asoke, gone many years ago.

- Colosseum, on Vipavadee Rangsit Road, gone many years ago.

- The Male, in the small soi on Sukhumvit just one up from the Nana intersection. It was a sauna, had massage men and you could request massage men to do a go go show (in bikini), from memory 10 minutes, and again if my memory is correct, for 40Baht plus tip to the dancing man. Gone many many years ago.

The Colony was best of all times for me.

Quote |

and of course, Obelisk near Colony (Thong Lor) until, so it is said, that Prime Minister Anand had it closed due to traffic or dislike.

Quote |

and the sauna on Suko Thai Road (in Bangkok) which many many years ago was independant and always had about 10 or 12 massage men, always great service on all measures!

Quote |

I've been a Bangkok visitor for barely a decade, but I remember having a fine experience on my only Obelisk visit--surprisingly lavish and large place, and spent a long pleasant time with a nice Taiwanese visitor. Was disappointed it closed soon thereafter. Never knew why.

Also paid one visit to the Colony, which I thought a little out of the way for a fairly new tourist, and when I got there (maybe an off night) it was pretty dead. But an attractive venue, like a tropical bungalow.

Quote |

Colony was just around the corner from Obelisk!

It got wild on some weekend nights, but if you didn't score they always had great massage boys -- some of whom I have remained friends with since those times.

Quote |

Many years before Obelisk was in it's first location in a small dead-end soi down a little from what is now the Holiday Inn hotel on Ploenchit.

In this location it was in a very thin multi floor shophouse and I recall that the internal glass and mirror decorations must have cost quite a fortune, all based around obelisks. Impossible to park.

I used to go down that soi quite often to an off bank money exchange. Obelisk always had one staff member out in the soi to tell people that it was there. I did go in several times but there were never more than 1 or 2 customers. I can't recall just how long it was in this location but I think perhaps just a few months, then it moved.
