It has come to my attention that a new sauna in the Surawong area has recently opened. Aptly called 1/0 Sauna (for those who may not know, in Chinese gay slang, 1=top, 0=bottom). Not sure what the clientele is, but if anyone is on the ground and is into saunas, a report would be much appreciated!

location right in the middle of the action

Walked by what appears to be location tonight at 12:35 am. directly opposite Meridien Hotel in alley beside Urban Thai Massage. 

unable to locate any sign but a group of Thai guys were just leaving what looks like upper floor exit. They were all dressed in black shirts and shorts that suggested staff.

Looks like they spent some money on the fitout, the photos on instagram look nice and location being directly across from LM couldn't be better. The real test will be if they can attract a local crowd or will prices dictate a tourist only venue.

I'll check it out on my next visit in a month or so and report back.

Just Sauna, or also massage?

Fantastic location!

Their entry prices can be see on their instagram poster:

There's a 100 baht discount for the month of March, but otherwise entry will be 400/600 baht. The notable thing about the poster is the fact that it is in English and Chinese. No Thai. My guess, going by its choice of location and language, is that its target market may be the East Asian tourists that have some free time in the evenings before going to Silom Soi 2 to dance the night away.

Another thing I noticed after clicking the Google Map link provided by @ichigo, is the way it declares itself as "LGBTQ+ friendly". This is kind of careless language that one often sees in Thailand, where "LGBTQ+" is used loosely, maybe because they somehow think "katoey" or "gay" is perjorative. It is misleading advertising. The place is for men. It says so on their same instagram homepage (https://www.instagram.com/10saunabkk/) : The newest Queer-Owned and Operated Private Man’s Sauna and Social Club. They would have no problem if a straight guy went in. They wouldn't even know he's straight, and anyway he could be anywhere on the bisexuality spectrum. But I can see 1/0 Sauna denying entry to a bunch of nine lesbians demanding admission. They shouldn't say "LGBTQ+ friendly" when they are not.

+1. There is nothing wrong with saying gay men because this is clearly their target market.

600baht on a normal weekend night is a pretty steep price. I think it will make it the most expensive in Bangkok (even more expensive than Keybox in Singapore). Mania charges that only during Songran and White Party nights. If it doesn't offer a lower price to locals, like most saunas in Bangkok do, it will almost exclusively be populated with tourists and judging from their name and poster they are going for the Chinese crowd, which is not an easy one to win over.  Good facilities by itself won't cut it. 

It has to at least throw nightly events combined with a good pool of sexy performers that interact with the crowd like Mania, R3, Chakran and Krubb do. Will be curious to see the length of the crowd in Mania this Songran compared with the massive one last year.

It seems that for now, Japan is the desired outside-of-China vacation destination....

Just doing some research and thought i'd share, I found a tour on tiktok, it's in thai but gives an idea of the layout.

 

I think I know what "piggy bank" is - glory holes, but is "the cage"?

Also interesting is that there is scrub room on the Level 1. Might there be a scrub service as is commonly found in traditional Chinese bathhouses? Hmmm....

Could it be just that, a cage?

Confirmed. They got glory holes.

Maybe it's like the cage they had downstairs at Drakes in Prague.

A sexy guy would be inside and you could reach through the bars from the outside and grope him.

I'm more curious with they mean by BJB? I wonder if they will charge extra for the private rooms. They are definitely trying to attract  with that so called relaxation room (seen by the end of that TikTok video) the crowd of local guys living far from Silom who are looking for a place to crash on weekends after partying at DJ, GOD and Rush.

Hello, I would be curious to know if anyone has already been to this new sauna. I would love to go for Songkran, but I would like to hear your opinions first.

for sure on songkran lot of ppl will go there. lot of ppl still dont know it had exist coz it post only IG 

Just noticed this tour video of 1/0 Sauna so thought i'd share, I didn't get time to check it out on my last trip but I would be interested to hear if anyone has been to find out if it gets busy and the types of guys there.

There is also a I/0 Sauna in Taiwan, not sure if they're related?

 

Purely judging from that video, it seems a little more like a Japanese sauna where the dark areas for action are quite large and open so that other patrons can get up close to inspect if that turns them on! Very few private rooms, it would seem.

Was he showing a suck ramp?

A while ago, I came across a video of this sauna. I didn't realize there was already a post about it, so I put it in a new one. See below to see that post and watch the video.

Has anyone actually visited this sauna in the meantime? What was it like?

Today I discovered that the sauna owner also owns a gay hostel on the same street. See the post below:
