back to normal now after chinese holidays - no more tour groups for the moment

What was the mix of patrons, Josh? Numbers?

I've been to quite a few different saunas of late and will post a report soon.

went to Sansuk in Pattaya. Great time and could have had more. Also, Male Box on Rama 2 Rd. Waited all night but just as I thought of leaving this tall Thai stud (with blonde hair) "demanded" that I suck him off and give him a few wacks too. The memory of him standing astride me on the video lounge sofa, plunging his large cock into my mouth will stay for a long time. Will try and make next Saturday's foam party.

-- My olde pal my olde beauty Percy Verence read this and was proud of you staying-on to enjoy that tall thai stud!

Percy Verence was no where to be seen last night in Babylon. In fact I ran into Red Lee Vailabul within minutes of entering this esteemed establishment being joined by a youngish fellow keen to play hide the sausage which we did later. Marks for his performance about 4/10. Nevermind....

The sauna itself was throbbing and busy. Mostly 20-30-40 something Euro boys from what I could see sitting in the outdoor bar under tastefully arranged hanging baskets. Fans provide a gentle breeze making it a great spot to have drink. The mass of Euros may be making their way to the Annex with cruising areas etc and there may have been more older farangs and/with Thais in ther areas. Gettin' around in the subdued light could be dangerous without footwear...

Really surprised to find it shut at 10.30pm but they must know their market. Generally a pleasant atmosphere and better than my last visit years ago.

I felt like I was not in Thailand!! Will not return again soon. Entry 280 baht and glass of wine about 80 baht or thereabouts.

-- Maybe a couple or more years ago BABYLON's mngmnt. changed its hours so that they are now: 10.30.-22.30.hrs.; allegedly this change to an earlier opening is to assist the farangs in search of their sun-tans.
- Memory would suggest that even when it stayed OPEN until later many of the Thais, and a good few others, would have left and gone elsewhere by 22.30.hrs. --

Place is packed - tourists season- like it or not but they should take better care of their customers

Airco is set to a minimum and most cruising places are too sweaty hot - I think they wanna save money !!

third cruising area is never ever opened I think the last time was 4 months ago - even when the whole place if overflowing with people nothing happends nobody checks - giving the place a cramped feel.

Some showers are not working correctly - u burn urself and cannot adjust the water temp. They never maintain or check.

Water fountain downstairs is broken for 4 months now !

They get enough customers anyhow so they just dont care I guess.

Visited 14 Feb,Admission 290 Bht, incredibly the place remain largely the same when it first started. All area opened for play with the foam party going on in the bar area. Plenty of asian tourist & wm socialising. Some shower with temperature able to cook soft boiled eggs. Be careful.
Lube/condom provided, but do they provide only 1 towel ? Seems the staff pretend not to understand me when I ask for a fresh one.

Had a great time.

-- Y'day., 01 jul., a farang acquaintance, middle-aged and who has spent a good many of his recent yrs. living & working in HK., visited BABYLON SAUNA.
- Adm'n.: 230.Bh.;
- He stayed until approx. 18.30.hrs.;
- He guestimated that the mix of customers was approx. 50:50 SE. Asians/Orientals:farangs, with the latter prefering to loiter in the Dark Room & in the Steam Rooms. V. few Thais seen.

-- Taxi fare from B'LON. SAUNA back to PINNACLE HOTEL - soi Ngam Duplee - was 60.Bh.!

-- Today, 22jul., I rec'd. a couple of e-mails from a middle-aged & farang's recent visit to BABYLON SAUNA, wch. I paraphrase in part herebelow -

- 'ETA./ETD.: 17.oo.-20.30.hrs.;
' ... . Young queany types, (with fem. faces), or ones that are ageing and who are seen as being unlikely to be able to pick-up elsewhere. Some of the things I saw in there, (including rejected farangs, incl. young ones), gave me a quasi-nausea feeling the whole time. ... .
- 'On more reflection I think BABYLON is good early, (before 3-4.pm.), before the usual crowd comes in. ... .'.

-- E&OE. as reported speech.

Quote |

-- Further to my earlier & reported speech report of 23 jul. a gweilo friend, who's relocated now to BKK., reckoned that he was in B'LON. on the same day as that refered to in the report, although his ETA. was around 13.oo.hrs.;
- The gweilo told me that he had little trouble in meeting suitable others - although he opined that later-on the desirability of more recent arrivals declined.

-- The a/m. & middle-aged farang ret'd. more recently to B'LON., ETA. approx. 13.oo.hrs., and e-mailed me that he was more successful earlier on in the a'noon.. --

Stayed here for four days while I was in Bangkok. Special deal of 2500 bht/day for a deluxe Bulgari room. Pretty good value. I used to stay at Babylon everytime I came to Bangkok when I first started visiting 4 years ago. I am pleased to say that the place is still as fresh as it was then. The staff are very good. Can't vouch for the sauna as I did not partake. The restaurant food has gone down hill unfortunately.
