No you're right, an extra 30 baht at the weekends is not a lot but in these days of the strong baht and the floundering pound...... every baht counts

'If yer knows of a better 'ole. go to it.'
.....I most certainly don't know of a better 'ole and that's why I put up with any little niggles and keep going back.

Babylon is a very well run business and I am sure a very profitable one too. It really has no competition, none of the other saunas seem to go out of their way to attract farang customers, they probably do well enough with just local trade?

I'll reiterate....I LOVE BABYLON SAUNA and miss it greatly when I am back home in the UK.

How would a sauna "go out of their way to attract farang customers"?
