The problem I find is that a number of SE Asian guys don't know the term and refer to themselves as "South Asian" which is supposedly the term for those from the sub-continent or, as those of us less PC call them, "Indians". Given the contempt the Thais have for the Lao for example (an ex-boyfriend from Isaan objected loud and long to be called "ethnically Lao" even though he spoke the Isaan dialect of Lao at home) I am careful of how I refer to "SE Asians". And there seem to be a lot of Thai guys on the "meet for a fuck" Web sites who are very careful to refer to themselves as "Thai-Chinese" rather than just "Thai".

-- GAYA SAUNA - Ratchaothin is really not too far away - even for the Silom-centric visitor - being reached without too much difficulty by MRT. to Phahol Yothin stn. -
- Thence one may go by 'bus., m/c. taxi., tuk-tuk, taxi-cab. or even on foot. My copy of the BANGKOK BUS GUIDE - ISBN.: 9-786169 018926 - shews the flg. OUTbound 'buses. passing by the door: 24*., 26., 34., 39*., 59., 63*., 104*., 107*., 126., 129*., 177., 178., 185., 188., 206., 503*., 513., 524*., 528., 543. & 545*., (As opposed to trusting to a map asterisked 'buses*. were actually seen by me going OUTbound while I stood outside the sauna observing the gen'l. scene.),;
- For those who like to walk here are dirn's. from MRT. PY. -
1.- Go OUT via Exit 3.;
2.- Walk along PY. rd. with the OUTbound road-traffic, passing CENTRAL DEP'T. STORE, (LHS.), and TESCO-LOTUS, (RHS.),;
3.- Continue walking OUT until you come to soi 37., (after approx. 35mins.),;
4.- Walk on for a farther 75yds. - past a row of shops, ([B]LHS.[/b]), that ends with a DTAC. store;
5.- Immediately past the DTAC. store is a covered passage way, with a GAYA SAUNA sign suspended from the o'head, turn LEFT, walk a few yds. along the covered passage and you'll see the sauna's door to your RIGHT - and there you are!

for many of the "Silom-centric" visitors getting the escalator from the first floor to the second floor in the newly renovated Silom Complex is "too far" when cruising for sex!

I want to go but what is the sauna like? busy? Has anyone been there before? Pls tell!

-- I would hope, for the sauna's profitability, that it would be busier at week-ends than when I was there - possibly as many as a dozen and an half of visitors then, ('But I hae me doots.', as is said in N. Britain.),? But maybe the inclement weather was a greater deterrent than the attractions of free adm'n. before 17.oo.hrs. on that particular day?
-- NB.: Free adm'n. valid for 15.-17.oo.hrs. mons. to thurs. only - offer ends 31 oct.. Otherwise std. adm'n. of 180.Bh. applies.

Thnks for the info.

Visited Gaya a few weeks back on a Tuesday night. Not that busy with probably more karaoke happening than anything.

I returned again on the Friday when they had free entry till 8pm (no longer on offer). I along with many others had to wait for a locker as the place was full.

If you have no luck at Gaya its just a short walk to Cruising Sauna.

Another example of a community's own internal prejudices, I think - Thai-Chinese are probably perceived as being "of a better" social/economic class perhaps.

This kind of discrimination happens everywhere across the globe.
