Sansuk Sauna in Pattaya reopened on 15 September, according to their Facebook page.

Anyone in Pattaya right now who could confirm?

And if so, does this include the restaurant?

Didn't know they had one there ?

It wasn't my cup of tea the sauna but I saw a few young  Russians there but they didn't seem to be into older farangs unfortunately 😟,pity because I never had Russian cock .

Anyone here had free cock or butt at the sauna with non money boys?

I think this is the same owner as the old Howard's Hotel ?

Oh that brings back memories!😊😉

Yes,  Punya...his deceased falang boyfriend left him a bequest which he used to set-up his own business. He's one of those Thais who look eternally youthful!

I'm so pleased he's got Sansuk back on track.

The restaurant is appreciated by both of us. We  like the Thai food....simple but tasty and good value. It overlooks the pool. We still sometimes go just to eat and  enjoy the ambiance. And the swimming pool, of course. The gym is extensive but only one of us enjoys its facilities.

I'm sure there was a hotel accommodation there too? Maybe I'm wrong 

I went to the Sansuk Sauna today in Pattaya around 5pm - I can confirm that it is open.
73 baht Bolt taxi ride from Dongtan beach.
200 baht fee to enter - includes locker, 2 towels, and condom.  Bring your own sandals or flip-flops if you don't want to be barefoot.
There were about 15 customers, of which 6 of us were falang and the rest were Thai.
All of the Thai guys were in good shape - fit swimmer bodies. Perhaps only 2 were older Thais --> above 35 years old. The remainder were all younger.
I met Pun, the long time manager (perhaps owner ?). He said after almost 3 long years of being closed he is truly happy to be open since the 15th of September.
Staff wise, there are plenty, around 8 guys and some were good eye candy.  A couple of sexy Thais were working out in the gym.
I ate in the bar/restaurant. There is a good menu with Thai and Western food. There is also a wide selection of alcoholic beverages.
One masseur was on duty during my visit.
Let us support Sansuk and Pun.
Enjoy,
M.

Do you know if the Thais were charged an entrance fee?  If yes, do you know if they also were charged 200 baht?

Good questions GB.

Since I was still at Sansuk Sauna when I read your reply, I was able to chase down Pun in real time to get the answers.  Here they are:

For this Grand Reopening period (September) the entry fees are as follows:

Thais pay 150 baht to enter

Non-Thais pay 200 baht to enter

During October the prices will change as the Grand Reopening will be over.  The proposes entry fees will be:

Thais will continue to pay 150 baht.

Non-Thais will pay 220 baht to enter.

Pun wanted to increase the Thai price to 170 but I implored him to NOT increase the Thai price.

We then had a LONG conversation about Pun's worry that the non-Thais who live here in Jomtien/Pattaya will complain about having to pay more when they live here.

I told him look Pun, the falangs are complaining that the Thais don't come to the sauna. I suggested that he remind those falangs who will complain that it is intentionally priced this way so that the falangs will have an opportunity to chase, meet, and play with Thai guys thanks to this pricing scheme.

When I left at 8pm it was more busy than when I entered at 5pm. The approximate ratio of Thai to non-Thai was 25% falang and 75% Thai (Asian).

Lastly, I decided to walk home and it took 25 minutes to my View Talay complex that is in front of Dongtan beach.

Again, let us support Pun and his wonderful team after being closed for almost 3 years due to covid restrictions.

Enjoy,

M.

p.s. The hotel part of Sanuk is scheduled to open in October. Sorry, no price information as I forgot to ask. Since I live here now I can ask the next time that I visit.

It's always been my view that attracting younger Thais to Sansuk would lead to more falangs visitng. When it first opened, younger Thais were admitted free....and falangs , predictably, followed in their wake. This changed when they were asked to pay day's wage for entry.

200 bht is a lot for a young Thai to pay. When we were last there - about three and a half years ago- we noticed the absence of Thais and I remember discussing this with Punya- a gracious host- and giving my views.

If he has now decided to widen the intake, good for him. In the long-run it will bring dividends. If I went looking for company, I'd be disheartened by the sight of elderly falangs like me being the only visitors.

I stayed in their accommodation before. It is a relaxing stay. the breakfast is nice early in the morning facing the pool/garden.
added bonus is that the sauna is included in the stay. It isn’t that far from boystown.

I agree the current fee 150 bht is expensive for Thai , If I was the owner I would allow Thai's under 25 years y.o. enter free or for very low cost about 20-50 bht it will increase the number of young Thai's visiting the sauna and it will attract more falangs coming to the sauna eating at the restaurant and book a room there.

It's open. Left with a handsome boy 2 days ago, and we went to Cafe Blu at Arcadia Beach right next door. 

Anyone who has contact with the owner should really suggest allowing free entrance to boys under 25. Just add 20 baht for farang if needed. 
 

Please describe the facilities there.

Also, no one reported anything about any action there, or if the inhouse masseur offers plus service....

According to gglmps, its half way btw jomtien and winner.

Looks like neither here nor there...

You enter at the cash desk and pay the entrance fee. Then you enter a very large locker room - the cute attendent will issue you a lock, key, and wrist band with your "lucky number" - which is used in the restaurant, pool side service, and with the 2 masseurs who are upstairs. The restaurant has a decent menu of both Western and Thai food. There are many types of smoothies available as well as beer and hard alcohol.

There are 2 pools - one for swimming and bathing and the other is lije a giant circular jacuzzi. All alongside the 2 pools are chairs and lounge chairs to relax and watch the sexy guys. Alongside the pool area, slightly elevated is the gym enclosed in a large glass room where you can watch your favorite cutie workout.

There was a steam room, sauna, bathrooms, and showers on the opposite side from the gym.

Upstairs are the 2 masseurs - and yes extras are available for a fee. This fee needs to be paid directly to the masseur in cash. The standard massage fee is charged to your "lucky number" that was given to you when you entered.

Above the massage floor are some cabin rooms for privacy, a dark room, bathrooms, and I saw more stairs that went up to an attic area - I did not venture up there.

Then there is the Hotel section of this complex, which was closed off as it will open next month in October.

So, action can be had by talking to the guys by the pool or in the gym. Or upstairs in the cabins or dark maze area. Also, you can arrange something with the masseurs - but for payment.

Are these thai customers  moneyboys ?

I don't think so.

But I am not sure.

Some were very friendly and some were reserved.

Pleased to hear that it has reopened. I visited a lot pre-Covid both on my own or occasionally taking a boy with me. Not sure what I paid for the latter, maybe the farang price.

it was very popular about 10-15 years ago but attendance had fallen during 2017 to 2020, but I suppose this was general in gay Pattaya.

Thank you BKKMFJ for the detailed description. (-:
