It's fine for foreigners, just like any other place. Though you might not have so much fun if you are over 40 and not in really good shape.

does anyone know about these saunas - Mix Man (may not be a sauna. near Dem Mon), Zuga House Ram 46, Absolute Ram 53 / Lat Prao 112
Also, I was told that over the river in Tak Sin soi 4 there is a gay internet café with a bit more than internet. However, soi 4 is long.

Quote |

I think MixMan is gone, if that's the one I'm thinking of near Sake.

Absolute sauna closed as is Bangkok 10. Bangkok 10 has a sign saying thanks to customers and that they will renovate and open next year. Renovate usually means close. Clients will probably go to Heaven where I went last night and had a good time.

soi 46 Ramkhamhaeng is very long, being an up market soi full of large homes and a few cute cafes. I found number 24 and Zuga sauna is closed. I notice that any link on net is old and doesn't work.

Quote |

Which of the saunas keep open all through the night?

Quote |

Re all night: AFAIK there is noone certain open all night/every night: IF at all, it will be weekends (fr/sat/maybe sun) and the Thai always says ''till last customer gone''--which may well be by 1 or 2 am.
Farose 1+2 and 39 have that in their ads. Farose 1+22 are both noted for late nite escapes, people coming in in their street clothes and dirty. There may be others, I think that new R3 says its open continuous 24/7, but not sure.

Quote |

Fab/Bangkok 10 in Surawong has had a renovations notice for more than 10 weeks in the window. Sukhothai/Out/Cruising 2 in darkness for more than a month.

Quote |

Consider these 2 as def. closed.
That R3 has introduced discriminatory pricing against whitey's and older people.
MACHO is now Macho-X and has moved to soi beside PATA dept store, thus a little closer to centre town, its on the McDon side. In the old place it mainly got bad reviews.

"That R3 has introduced discriminatory pricing against whitey's and older people."

I did not know about different prices for locals and foreigners, and just checked their website: no prices at all displayed!

Quote |

last night at Freeman only 5 customers until 2am and then they seemed to be couples departing from NYE discos. 109 baht for THai and 159 for farang (not displayed). My THai BF tried to explain to the desk boy that suck pricing was looked down upon overseas but he was Barmeses and could not get the point. Lighting is worse than before and could not find any condoms. Heaven is soooo much better. Owner must have more money than sense.

Seems like not so fun under military rule.

Freeman? Where is that?

Quote |

Been reading through these threads a bit and I kind of get the impression that a lot of guys are looking for local thai guys in cruising spots, saunas, etc, but i could be wrong.

I'll be there in a weeks time in Phuket, and the week after in Samui, and was hoping to track down a bar, club or sauna where there are typically older guys (thai/asian or westerners) who are looking for westerners?

Any suggestions?
