Had two encounters with him on one of the upper floors 😉 Yes. A nice guy....and one of those many Thais who keeps his looks into middle age! We like the restaurant there, too. Thai food, nothing fancy, but tasty and reasonably priced. Come to think of it, a meal next to the swimming pool at dusk with cute guys lounging around makes a change from bars. floridarob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why anyone would consider travelling anywhere without some form of health and accident insurance absolutely beats me. Â 1 hour ago, Londoner said: I'm out of date....but pre-covid, 1800-2000.

Although it attracts a young crowd, some members report enjoying their visits. 39 Underground Sauna is a short walk from Saphan Kwai BTS. Attended by a local crowd of mixed age, it reportedly welcomes foreigners. I will try 39 today. I hope it's not too crowded today because of Chinese new year. An old sauna saying goes: the more people, the less action. There used to be a sauna in BKK that was notorious for ripping off and discriminating older farangs. Which one was that? Have I already said how much I miss the old Babylon? t0oL1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siriusBE Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 5 hours ago, Olddaddy said: Please keep us updated Ok, I am already back from 39 Underground (no need to stay any longer 😉 ) It's just a 2 minutes walk from the Saphan Khwai BTS Station at the dead end of a small soi. Entrance fee was 250 (weekend price). At 2 pm it was already crowded. About 100 Asians and 2 Farangs 😉 The sauna spreads about 4 floors, 3 of them underground, hence the name. There is also a little bar and a roof "garden". In the very dark underground there was action on every square inch. As expected, most of the guys were more into Asians, but I had my fun too... plenty of it. It's not the cleanest place on earth, but I found it acceptable. All action was raw, never saw a condom in usage. I hope they use at least PREP since it's much cheaper here in TH. Today was naked theme, that`s why you only got a small towel and you were not allowed to carry the towel in the action areas. So for me, the visit was worthwhile, even though I was more or less the only Western guy there.  vinapu, splinter1949, reader and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average I would say is around 30-35. When I arrived, the average probably went up another 5 years 😉 dscrtsldnbi, t0oL1, Olddaddy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cellars are rare in BKK because the groundwater is close to the surfaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
