Of the three saunas that I frequent the most (Babylon, Heaven, and Sansuk), I favour the dark areas in Babylon.

Anyone been to the more local ones lately? Cruising, The Zone, Ban Thai, Muffil, Male Box, The Beach, Farose, 39 Underground, Orion...?

Hi, its clear this forum is absolutely dead. No reply in 6 weeks.
As you likely also know, about the only one who has and even writes about is is the German Christian with his blog. he has promised to visit them all and to write about it. 2 03 3 of those you mention have been covered recently, like the 39 and Muffin-with its life shows.
I will only return to BKK after the rains have stopped and town is a little bit more normal after all the festivities-as for BKK, Ive about given up going to saun''s- though those in provincial towns, ChMai, HYai, I had much more succes-but again thats all past now.

I went back to GG recently. No changes: still the domain of chubs, daddies, uncles, and grandpas.

39 Underground is recommended by my friends for anyone desired a place filled with unpretentious locals & Asian tourists and the owner does not slapped age discrimination (over 50) policy. Easy access with BTS.

I have never heard of any place in Thailand practicing age discrimination — unlike, say, Japan. Does it really happen here?

Hello again- so yes, moreorless:
In the sauna's of the R3 concern-incl SaunaMania, and?? (see the blog of christian) there IS a much higher entry for 50+: not 20/.50 THB more, but like 500 in stead of normal 120/150. Reduced or free entry for very young guys is quite common in any sauna, incl here. They are not banned JPN-style-but this is he Thai equiv.
As for the sauna list:
the BEACH hs moved to a closeby-soi 14, yeak 10 of soi71 Sukhumvit.
Seems the old orion-closed, reopened (as reported by again christian) under other name, has folded up again-seeing nothing, name nor exterioir looks sauna-lile,. behind the parking lot of tesco Pinklao.

For another perspective of how senior gay-sauna patrons were treated in Bangkok. please click here.

I didn’t know that R3 had this policy. I have never been there and won’t go there now.

This seems to be a new place:

KRUBB Bangkok
Sukhumvit Plus 2 Alley, Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110
065 416 3538

There is a thread about this place on the TMM website :

(thai language only).

Sorry I am not a sauna lover so I did not take the time to sum up the messages. Seems rather expensive.

Hi Guys,
So can anyone advise me as to where guys are going now that Babylon has closed.
Somewhere around silom would be nice but i am prepared to travel further.

Thanks in Advance

For those who might find themselves down in Pattaya, Sansuk Sauna after covid closure of nearly two years. They have been packing in a good crowd of 120+ customers each day.

Oops, thats a long time ago-for me to check in here-it still works! and for this post. Had nearly forgotten about this board untill some other pointed at it again. Sweet memories-from very long ago-survive.
Closest by is Sauna Mania-just off Silom. Reports vary if that is ´sticky rice´ only or more open. In other forums best ALT for bab is said to be Krubb and 39 in Sapan Kwai-both are very close to BTS so easy to reach.

Ops, thats a long time ago-checkin still works. Had nearly forgotten this forum, but a reminder else and sweet memeories survive.
Best nearby ALT is Sauna Mania, just off Silom. Reports vary if its sticky rice only or more open.
Best ALT-from other forums, I di not do sauna in BKK, are Krubb and 39 in Sapan kwai=beside that famous last surviving cinema. Both close by to BTS so easy to reach
