EDOK , a new sauna again ?
 

Anyone know about this new sauna yet to be open ?

*** EDOK ***

The location , facilities and entry charge and so on .
The telephone numbers (06) 006-55 65 , (02) 466-07 07 .

Thanks in advance ( I am in KL now :p )

"466" phone numbers are in Thonburi..across the river from Wat Pho, in the Wat Arun/Navy area...

3rd sauna in Thonburi area ?
 

Around Bangkok Yai ?

Need to get a river boat from BTS Sapan Taksin . v:p

3rd "sauna" Thon Buri side?
 

Khun Ninja,

Please forgive my ignorance or inattention, but where is the 2nd true "sauna" on the Thon Buri side? The first being in front of Central Plaza, Rama 2.

Best wishes for a fruitful stay in K.L.

Hi . Mr White Swallow
 

How have you been , sir ?

Another one is established THE ORION .
It's just behind old MERRY KING's department store .
This place was used to be my favorite .

Anyone has been there yet ?
 

Soi LG ( near Soi Takshin 14 )
Takshin Road , Thonburi

Their URL leads to a different site .

:(

That's in the same soi as Shape Massage and Spa. Infact, it's right next door.

I will try this place soon
 

Thanks , Yannawa . :)

The map will help me to get there without wondering , I hope .
I guess SHAPE and EDOK are the same management ?
Anyway , I will INSPECT this place soon .

From BIG C or Silom area , bus number 76 Orange Euro would be convenient .

EDOK is derived from Erotic Divine Oops Kinky

You are correct about 76, but the problem is you have to know the name in Thai of where you want to get off. Quoting soi numbers to bus conductors usually doesn't get good results. I would suggest you ask for Dao Kanong...which is some distance after Thaksin soi 14. Then if that fails, ask for Central Praram Song (that way you can visit Male Box sauna if you forget to get off at Thaksin!).
Now assuming you are on the bus, try and sit at the left window. After you cross Thaksin Bridge, the bus travels 2.5 kms more or less in a straight line before turning left onto Thaksin Road. Now look out the left window and aim to get off at soi 11 (opposite soi 14)...it's about 500 meters along Thaksin road from the left turn.

Must be the same management as right next door to each other and web pages link directly to each other.

Thanks again , Yannawa .

That's what I wanted to know .

I should not forget to get off at Soi 11 , because MALE BOX is not my favorite . ;)
I would rather go to THE ORION .

The fee is only 19.50 baht according to messages posted on a Thai message board. Don't know whether it is just an intro price or it is a regular price.

Anyway I am surprised if they will be able to continue using this name. Do they actually have this name in Thai displayed on their outside door ?. Edok is a very rude word and the neighbours may not be happy with it.

Updated.

The regular price will be 100 baht. Don't know how long this 19.50 baht intro price will last.

To be a little more precise about finding the place Ninja, it's in a dead-end soi with no name, between soi 14 and soi 14/1. It has a footbridge on the main road right at the entrance to the soi....also an LG service shop on the corner..EDOK is down there on the left after LG. The footbridge is the 2nd one along Thaksin road after turning left on the bus or whatever, from Thonburi Road/Thaksin bridge road.

Thanks for more information , guys . ;)
I really have to INSPECT this place ASAP .

I think we foreigners should be ready to pay the full entrance fee of 100 Bhats ( as some promotional fees don't apply to foreigners in some gay saunas :p )

I will be very very shocked if they give me 50 satans when I pay 20 Bhat note .
So , I we should pronaunce " EDOK " is more like E DOK not like E of EDDY , right ?

I rather be in Heaven than being given 50 satans.

VIKING dearest,

what ninja ment was 50 SATANGS not 50 SATANS.......

50 satangs =1/2 baht!:)

Heaven sauna's good too...they have some great satans in the steam room sometimes.

So , here's my REPORT
 

To beat the notorious traffic jam around Sphan Taksin and Wong Wiang Yai , I arrived there early ( I mean TOO early )
I didn't know what time actually they would open . There is no sign or anything at the door or at the reception .
They actually open at 5PM on weekdays .
I was not the only one who arrived before their openning time .
Unlike other 2 Thonburi saunas , there was no big shopping centres around ( even no coffee shop ) to kill your time .

The promotional door charge of 19 Baths and 50 Satans ( or Satangs whatever it should be spelled ) is NO MORE .
They charge 100 Baths regardless your nationality or age :p
But if you come with your pal ( s ) , they have special of 139 Bahts for 2 ( 129 ? ) and 159 Bahts for 3 .

They have a daily theme .
Yesterday was , I don't know what it was , but they provide a batik like sarong ( quite sexy ) and a small towel ( Well , nowadays , not many gay saunas in BKK provide FULL SIZE BATH TOWELS , don't they ? )
Due to my limited Thai reading ability , I couldn't understand the differences between the daily themes ( Please ! Help us , ICON ! )
But ONLY I understood is Saturdays are NAKED :D

*** FACILITIES ***

1st floor = reception , spacious and empty TV launge , toilet and staff room
2nd floor = small store room and a locker room
They have about 210 lockers ! Is this because of their optimistic nature ???
3rd floor = private toilet , basin & shower room , bright gym AND a dark room with glory hole cubicles ( where I saw no one )
4th floor = private toilet , basin & shower room , a very dark private cabins area ( about 11 rooms ) all rooms are different from each other . They have toilet tissues and lube , but NO condom . And also ORZY bunk bed
5th floor ( YES ! They have 5 floors ! Bigger than MALE BOX ) =
a very bright common shower room , a small steam room , a dry sauna room , 2 private toilet ( a bunk bed over them ) AND non-air conditioned large WANK VDO room ( I like this area best in this sauna )
The lighting is quite dark in most areas ( just like MUFFIL )

The clientele ? There were less than 20 customers ( no farang customer ) Age between early 20's to late 30's .
For the most of the customers on that day , it was the first time visit , I guess . They just came to see how the new sauna was like , beside one former COA regular . This is a convenient location for FANTHON residents . It's actually not far from SAM LE
post office .

It became quiet around 7:15PM already . I left before 8PM , as I saw no new customers came in .
They stay for very short time .
If you come after 7PM ( on weekdays ) , probably you will miss all hot actions .
So , WHAT TIME SHOULD WE ARRIVE THERE ?

Thai guy Only in English .
But there is a quite large banner at the pak soi ( and facing the main street ) It is written " EDOK " about 20 times on it . So , you wouldn't miss it .
You can see some smaller flags in their car park (a few blocks down ) , so , ICON can drive and park there .

Actually EDOK is not a right next door of SHAPE , but it's obvious that they are under the same management .

By the way , SHAPE has a quite few massage boys now ( I guess )
Some came to EDOK . Many guys are young twink type , and they are good looking .
