-- With the CLOSURE of the olde CAPITAL CINEMA and now the burning-down of GSM. SAUNA there is just the one s*ck-cinema remaining, wch. is on Tnn. Yaowarat and roughly opposite to the WHITE ORCHID HOTEL.
- Unless, of course, anyone knows of anyother places in CHINATOWN for people of our life-styles?

This is one of the saddest things.

I was a frequent trawler thru GSM. Really one of the most intersting places. Lots of different scenes; the gym part if you are into that; the endless mazes on the first level although never any privacy because of the spy holes and slits but fun; then the upper areas with sauna, massage, 'bar', darkrooms, and best of all the outdoor area. Fabulous anytime of the year to cruise or just relax with a friend or beer or whatever. Unbelivably filled with nooks and crannies. Everywhere pot plants, hanging plants, vines etc etc but in all spots a marvellous areas to relax. And of course the wonderful guys with sex +.
Yeah I will miss you wonderful GSM!!!
bye

You have left off one very important piece of information: is it worth the trip out there? If no, then all your coordinates and directions are, well, kinda irrelevant.

another new (on an apparent old spot though) sauna to open; ADONIS Jr, in the Sapan kwai area, Pradipat Rd-soi Elisabeth Hotel, big opening party on 31/1-entry will be 100 bt/weekday and 120/fri-sun. I think likely in the ame house there used to be sauna long ago-if I recall also named Adonis.
This from the jan. issue of Variety ads-mag.
buses 44, 97, 117, 524, 3, about 10-15 min walk to Sapan Kwai BTS

and another one noted-seems to be open for some time-in that mag. is MUFFILL-in the bangkapi area-soi 113/115-so must be quite close to White House massage. No website found-so by now just for the record.

I haven't been to a suck cinema since the London, over in Prakanong, closed down a few years ago. What about the other famous old venue of sleeziness, the Prince; is it still operating or not?

Quote |

Where do all the patrons of GSM go, now that the sauna is all gone?

Quote |

Yes, Prince is still limping along.

-- Y'day., (28th.), evening - after visiting DAO KHANONG - I decided that a visit to HEAVEN & EDEN SAUNA - Wardour Twr., Tnn. Mahesak - would be just what the Dr. ordered.
- I walked UP & DOWN that rd. a couple of times - it being much MORE than a dozen yrs. since I patronised that particular sauna - and greatly to my surprise found that tere was Wardour Twr. - gone!
-- Clearly time to revise my Address Book - that's [u]100%. for sure[/U.

Your memory must be failing you, sextile: Heaven Sauna is exactly where it has always been, on the 4th floor of the BIS Building (aka "Warner Tower").

Detailed directions:

-- Well, yes - that could be so; but glad to note that HEAVEN SAUNA is there still.
- However, I did enter the BIS. BLDG. - noting that it is in three sections - and not only looked-at the Dirn's'. bd. by the elevator but went-UP to the 4th. fl. to look-see for myself.
- Obviously I'll have to have another look.
