saunas update
 

My third visit to Sukhumvit soi 78 and Safe House on a Friday - I was the only customer all night. 2 visits to Mind sauna soi 48 Sukhumvit last visit just my partner and an Australian. we left at 10pm. The cleaner boy seemed disappointed when we arrived at 8pm. An early night in the offing.
Chinatown cinema - last Sunday, first visit for months,not much happening unless you like very old guys (I am 53!).
GG sauna - renovations in process!!! wow after 20 yrs. Had 3 3somes. Obviously this is not Sauna Manie territory but guys are pleasant and willing.
Sukhotai sauna- went on a wednesday 2 weeks ago and there were only 5 or 6 guys. Went the next saturday - 50 or more! I could not believe it. The desk guy also spoke english well. Apparently they own Cruising Sauna in CM. The 50 guys were all friendly, again we are not talking great lookers but who am i to say. Free drink like most places.
Saw the party and long show last saturday at Male Box in Rama 2 soi 57. The show goes so long that there isnt much time for sex but friendly crowd.
Menfactory still has the worst show i have ever seen. Think I will give that place away. A visit to Heaven was good as usual.

also Bangkok 10- last time I went there was no steam downstairs, no spa, no naked zone, no show.Hardly any guys. Maybe in the throes of closing?

it's sad to hear that bangkok 10 is going down the drain. i guess the lack of parking space was it's downfall to draw the locals. i'am just wondering about what shows are you referring to?

for at least 2 weeks they had a foam show with some very nice guys in the spa. It was advertised on their fb site. They seem to have 10 or so regulars in the karaoke room. It is more popular with the after work group rather than a weekend crowd. General maintenance and the desk guy improved but now too many things are broken.

I seem to have an obsession with searching out minor saunas. But I give up on safehouse soi78 sukhumvit. You had to put up with dogs, awful traffic due to construction in the middle of the road (extension for bts??) And the fact that no one goes tgere. Tonight a guy came in for 10 mins and rather rude guy I had seen before. After me doing oral for 15 mins not even a word of thanks. Very nice set up but in the wrong place. A joke or smike or some thing might encourage customers but .... will try again later in the year. Mind sauna had a dozen or so tonight.

Dejavu last night- over 100 guys watching a "show" (this is not your average drag show, but full on fucking show) then the actors (staff) disperse upstairs where the customers can take place and have sex in front of the crowd. Very athletic. Thursday nights. I think the other nights are just naked. A fair way out but if you like upclose fucking then could be for you.

any direction to dejavu? is there a bts/mrt near the place?

there are about 40 in greater BKK, much more as all in the rest of TH, so you still have something to do!
Go to gayscout, it has maps and directions (use them to look for closest by rail) and intends to show them all and regularly update. Just take taxi, buses and all that are for christian etc.-so that others can make the pun of it.
Notably Thai aimed are much more busy weekends (thats fr and sat) as weekdays.
Thanks greg for your research and willingness to share.
BTW- you mentioned also the new RUSH in Sukh 48/2 to open soon, is it all new or does it replace the old MIND? Like HiJack used to be (forget already).

There is no sign of a change at mind. A bit of action would help that area.

CM- Cruising Plus (part of the Cruising Sauna chain) out near G star vintage club on Chotana Rd not far from Super hwy. Again, first visit only me and an American. This time a gorgeous young man wanted a long long bj which I gave to him. Not many others. Maybe they get late crowd from the bars. The other bad point is that I could not get a taxi or tuk tuk back to the hotel at 11pm. I had to walk 5 kms until a nice boy picked me up and gave me a ride on his bike for the last km. How do people get around in CM late at night. One Seven naked night. Crowded but not action filled like Dejavu in BKK.

A question on Dejavu -- I am not clear what it is really -- is it a full sauna? And when does the Thursday show start? What's the entrance fee?

yes, full sauna with steam and sauna. Many cubicles. I think it was around 200 baht but it could have been cheaper. Shows start around 9pm on ground level then move to upper levels. Thursday - naked inc staff who put on the shows and most other nights are naked too, check
DEJAVU SAUNA : : ÅÒ´¾ÃéÒÇ 122 - ÃÒÁ¤Óá˧ 65 : :
Mask night Tuesdays

Guess no dauna tonight. Have to be home by 10pm curfew

Last night had some success at Mind Sauna. Still only a few there. Rush Sauna is advertised to open in next soi. Renovations still going on at GG. A little bit of light would help when I stumble down steps. Dejavu great last week.

Is it worth the effort

I enjoy the chase and the real locals

If you demand a sure and easy thing, maybe not.

For me and others who like an adventure and don't mind if it doesn't produce sex-wise, yes.

I am knew to this site let's hook up

did anyone make it to Dblu yet?
Bangkok 10 on Sunday had more customers than usual. Saunas closing early so customers have a chance of getting home. My haunts of Heaven, 39, GG, Cruising 2 and Bangkok 10 are doing well.

Sukhotai cum cruising 2 sauna now is Out sauna. New sign and new........nothing else. Closed wed, free tues, 2 for price of one thurs.

cruising sauna
 

Terrible traffic from end of bts. Many guys there for naked night and orgy room. Maybe over 60 guys. One point-top floor garden area. Timber planks broken or missing. So dangerous in the dark.

Hi Greg - About Out Sauna ... Which nights are naked nights? Good time for non-Thais there?

out sauna
 

They had naked nights 15 yrs ago but not now. I think they were the first to do so when sukhothai sauna. A woman colleague told me she was going to join the gym there until I pointed out her mistake. At that time they opened 24vhrs byt did not last long. Cruising sauna no.1 near major cineplex had over 50 naked guys last night.

Gregvc, this is just a great thread, full of info. I really appreciate your reports! I'll be in BKK in July so am starting some research. :D
Could you suggest a schedule of best days/saunas?
For example,
Mondays --Babylon (not much else at local saunas)
Tuesdays--Cruising 2 (free?)
Wednesday-
Thursday-DejaVu for naked night
Friday--
Saturday
Sunday
Thanks! I'll follow the schedule religiously :D

Thanks midwestern. So many contributions are just used for putting people down. I am leaving next week but will be back in early august. Maybe we can swap notes. Friday naked orgy at 39. Naked tues, sat and sunday at 39. Malebox in rama 2 first sat each month big show and naked. Some saunas have dropped the shows such as bangkok 10 and men factory. Both still advertise naked nights but not much action. Keep you posred.

OK thanks! So as of now, specific nights that are recommended in BKK Saunas, feel free to add/edit to this starter list!

Monday ?
Tuesday 39 Naked Night
Wednesday ?
Thursday Dejavu Naked Night
Friday 39 Naked Orgy
Saturday 39 Naked Night, MaleBox Rama 2 1st Saturday naked night w/ show
Sunday 39 Naked Night

Is "Naked Orgy" the same as "Naked Night" at 39 Sauna?

No, I understand that Friday Naked Orgy involves the weights room and that area and glory hole tv area is cleared and dark for a dark room orgy. Other times the lights are on at the glory holes TV area on 2nd floor.

I am going to try and get to Dejavu naked night Thursday this week or in 2 weeks. A few questions:
1) What time do you recommend going? I see there is a show at 9pm. Is 8pm good or would you say earlier?
2) What's the easiest way to get there by public transit? I did just take the khlong boat from Asoke to Ramkamhaeng to the FBT sporting goods store, so I feel now I'm capable of almost anything :D

Took the trip out to Dejavu Sauna last night!
I took the MRT to Lad Phrao and then got in a taxi. Pouring rain, 630pm, you can imagine--it took about 50 minutes to get to DejaVu. (ten or twelve minutes is the time it took to return with no traffic, so on the way there, if going at rush hour, I'd recommend taking the Khlong Saen Sap boat to Ramkamhaeng 65, which actually turns into Lad Phrao 122, which this sauna is located on).
I was hungry so sat and had a pork pastry and iced coffee at the little coffee shop next door to the sauna, it was a very friendly place. Also could charge my phone there. Worked out great.
Entered sauna around 8pm. It was already somewhat busy, at least 50 guys there. Changed clothes, walked around a bit. Towels are up on the 3rd floor, where the showers and sauna/steam are. Fourth floor is a maze with some lockable rooms; 5th floor has mostly lockable cabins, with a few group play areas too.
Played with 3 or 4 guys before the show started. Then watched the show for some time on the first floor, it was ok. One guy was fucking another--neither super hot but it was real-- much more interesting than when the Soi Twilight guys do it, they're straight mostly and have to use those weird cock rings/rubber bands that make their dicks look weirdly engorged.
One of the staff then approached me and asked if I was a top or bottom... I said bottom. He moved on.
I left the show and went back upstairs, and while most guys were watching the show, some were still cruising around.... I played with 2 more guys, both very hot--one quite muscular in late 20s. Not the hottest face but you know what? I'm not that picky :P
Heard another show starting, this time on the 4th floor. This time the kid who'd asked me if I was top or bottom was getting fucked on the sofa. Guess that I answered wrong! I should have said top :D Anyway, soon another employee came over and started touching me, and pushed my head down to suck him.... suddenly I was IN the show! Well as I sucked him, two guys jacked off on my arm and leg.... shot all over me. The employee didn't cum but was very loud and acted like he was in a porn. That was quite an experience!
Went to wash up after that, and played with 2 more guys before I finally came.
Very fun experience; totally different from Babylon in a good way. Very friendly staff, completely different crowd from Babylon, too! I was definitely the only farang there, and I was in the oldest 10% of the crowd--but I did get plenty of action.
Wasn't as easy as Babylon, but around the same price, maybe 50 baht more than Babylon, when you add up taxi and entry fees.

I'd say by the time I left at 10:15pm, more than 150 guys were there. A very cute guy was just entering when I left--so it's not over after the show. The sign said they close at 2am.
Took taxi back to Ratchadaphisek MRT, only 10-15 minutes in no traffic --65 baht.... :D

another new one-advertsies on gthai.net

R3 Sauna-new sauna in Phra Rama 9
 

Just went this afternoon for a quick visit. It's right behind Tesco, pretty easy to find on their website. Here is their promo for August and September; 80 Baht entry if you send them a message with a Line ID. Event/Promotion
It's a pretty nice/ new place, and they definitely spent some money on it. It's not as fancy as Chakran or Babylon when they opened, but still pretty nice. Weird layout that requires lots of up and down various stairs to go anywhere.
There is a customer "counter' on their website that is likely fake, since it said that already 350 people had entered today; at 415pm when I entered there were about 30-35 people there.... but anyway, the crowd was varied, with plenty of guys in their 20s and 30s, and a few in their 40s. I was the only farang there but did feel welcome; I really like that their website has Thai, English, Japanese, and Chinese.
And I also felt welcome because within an hour I'd already sucked off a 30yo guy with a great body, and then two guys pulled me into a room and spit-roasted me till all 3 of us came. :D
So a good time was had by all.
I don't want to say that every foreigner here will have fun like that, I don't like it when older/out of shape farang in Thailand don't get laid they blame it on the sauna/bar being "sticky rice". I have found that lots of Thai guys are interested in me since I've gotten in better shape--not just because I'm white. But YMMV.

But just FYI I'm 45yo, told I look younger (but who's told they look older?), in good shape, etc. So if you're a guy in your 40s who's in good or great shape, you'll likely have fun.

will try when I get back in BKK. Another New one, Rush, in Sukhumvit 48. I am nearer to 60 than 50 but have found that a smile and personality can often make up for not being younger.

Lol I'm making no judgements on age or body type; but when I review someplace and say I got lucky, I do think it's worth mentioning I'm in decent shape--I just read these Thailand forums a bit and end up seeing more guys write off a place as "sticky rice" when the guys aren't interested in old, out of shape guys and blame it on their white skin. Have you ever watched TV or been to a mall in Thailand? That white skin is prized, so if you're not getting any, it's not because of your white skin :D

R3 Sauna
 

I had a look at the website for this new sauna and it looks interesting. It is very unusual for a sauna to have 24 hr opening in BKK. The facilities look very impressive.

I think the customer counter on the website refers to the number of visitors to the website not to the actual sauna.

I have to agree with Midwestbttmboy32; I don't think many places are actually 'sticky rice', it is more a case of young attractive Thai guys not fancying older guys whatever their colour. I am sure in most BKK saunas if you are an attractive, young farang then you get lots of attention. Sadly I wasn't visiting saunas when I was that age :(

It is amazing just how many saunas there are in BKK, far more than in large UK or European cities.

GG Sauna seems to have been updated a bit since I was last there a few months ago. Many more cubicles upstairs, some renovations in the showers, etc.

It is still the domain of Thai daddies, uncles, and grandpas...and their admirers. I saw a guy walking around listening to a transistor radio (!) who was a dead-ringer for Gen. Prem.

They no longer have massage available there.

more changes: TROY-Lard Prao soi 5, is reportedly now closed
Old Cruising 2, former Sukhothai is renamed now as OUT. But a renovation would have been more in place.
Fpor above: best it to look at the Thai sites as gthai.net and mangosociety for possible announcements and special evenings
d-blu, the new one near Silom gets few customers. Seems now to change course and offers massage- may have moved again by the time you make it there.

had a good night at Beach Khon Kaen. Friendly bunch, naked night saturday. However, I defy anyone to find Mun-Day sauna. I walked around U Inn hotel area (their website indicated it was next to the hotel), asked the desk girls to call them for me but the people at the other end said it had finished. Dolphins massage - handsome well built Man too many tatts for me but ok.

Men Factory Saturday night. Poor show but the dancers go to a cubicle to be sucked and played with. Not a smile or comment from them.

Inveterate cocksuckers (yours truly not excepted) might be interested to note that Sansuk Sauna in Pattaya has added six interconnected glory hole booths on the third floor, near the stairs leading up to the attic dark room.

Inveterate cocksuckers with bad knees (yours truly not excepted) might be pleased to find that said glory hole booths feature plastic stools upon which to sit.

The only downside is that at this place you are more likely to get a geriatric Russian cock in your mouth than a hot young Thai one.

Ah, well.
