    I'm going to guess that OP does not use English as his first langauge. Thus browsing through these forums looking for those nuggets of good advice is substantially harder work than it might be for others.

    Further it's useful for new threads to pop up to refresh the information. Does finding a post from 3 years ago describing a sauna have any relevence to how that sauna is today?

    Brilliant!

    OMG, another first time poster just shoot out a question without reading anything on this forum (or perhaps not even any research on internet).  I guess people don't do homework these days, not even bother to tell us what he has been doing in Thailand with all his visits of "many years".

    @macaroni21, please respond to OP's inquiry.

    A rude and unnecessary comment.

    Just left Thermas, Sat afternoon/evening.  It closes briefly so they can hold Splash an evening event from 11pm to 5am with DJ etc. Majority of the boys I chatted to, say they don't go to it. 

    Back to my encounter, had some Top fun (a bit unusual for me, but a small cute Chilean guy stirred me) had my ass eaten expertly twice and then was fucked by a very nice Peruvian guy. 

    Lots of Brazilians as usual and some very handsome. Definitely was more choice than last year. Now also 7 superior rooms to rent out after the remodel. 

    I'm certain anyone would enjoy 

    Was the cute Chilean Nicholas by any chance? Very fond memories of Nicholas from last July.

    Where did you hear this? There is nothing to this effect on the Brazilian Consulate Sydney website. You can’t ring them for information and visiting their office is discouraged. I rang the largest visa service company here in Sydney and they do not know if the consulate will accept applications from service agencies such as themselves when the system starts on 1 October. They told me they have no information. Hopeless.

    After writing this I put Brazil visa rumours into google and I came across a blog for Newland Chase ( a CIBT company) CIBT is the visa company I rang in Sydney. They state that there is an indication that Brazilian immigration will extend the 1 October start date. This however is not official.

    Clube 555 in SP: 2023 Update

    Over a year ago, sydneyboy1 started an interesting thread on the status of Clube 555 (heir to Fragata) in São Paulo. Most posters were impressed with the facility but not the GPs. If you are interested in São Paulo options to Lagoa (such as Pauleiro's account today of HotHouse), you might want to look over those May 2022 posts about Clube 555 along with this update below.

    I thought sure that Clube 555 was defunct. It had been closed down when I previously tried to visit. But I was wrong. It turns out that São Paulo does in fact have a second, active, real GP sauna after all.

    After two weeks of going daily to Lagoa, I ventured over to Clube 555 on Sunday night, a short $3 Uber from my hotel by Avenida Paulista. Here is what I found:

    ● Big downstairs with the stage, bar, pool, over 20 tables, was filled (50+ people) for the 9:20 lipsync, bingo, go-go boy show. (See partial photo of the airy area below.)

    ● A year ago travelers here were wondering if 555 could survive!  Even if Sunday is 555's top night and I did not have a perfect sample, it sure looked like 555 is doing OK if not thriving. So I think it's good news that Lagoa seems to have at a least a little competition, even if not with our crowd.

    ● Credit where credit is due. Clube 555's facility is clearly superior and far more spacious than Lagoa's. Instead Lagoa's tiny, cramped changing room, the one at 555 is nearly three time larger. The two bar/dining areas at 555 seem over three times larger than the two compact spaces at Lagoa. The steam room at 555 is more than double that of Lagoa. Also, for those who hate steps, 555 is spread over three large floors, instead of four floors like Lagoa.  Pictured below is the large changing room and the second bar/dining area.

    ● Obvious issue: What about the talent? Outside of the "Lagoa-looking" go-go boys, I did not see any beefy, good-looking guys that you might see at Logoa. Guys at 555 were generally more swimmer types, not US football players. (Well, plus a few out of shape.) None at 555 were distinctly Euro or Afro; all were handsome Brazilian shades in between. They were not nearly as pushy as many Lagoa GPs.

    I had two good connections. One was a str8, trim, toned, handsome, hung newbie and the other a masculine, gay, trim, toned, passionate btm. Both seemed far more surprised and thrilled to get a RS50 tip (up from 150) than any GP at Lagoa.

    I cannot dispute the 2022 critics who identified 555's chief deficit as its lack of more top tier GPs. That is still the case in 2023. And yet, I got lucky.

    ● Suggestions:
    I still share the consensus recommendation here that Lagoa be your default sauna destination, especially if you are in SP for no more than a week or so. However, if you stay longer and are looking for some variety and change of scene, you might find it interesting to go explore 555, ideally on a weekend night. And you can always quickly retreat to Lagoa in a cheap taxi.

    Don't know about other nights but the Sunday show starts at 9:00 (BT so more like 9:20). Before 7:30 it will look pretty empty, but then it starts filling up.
