This year, I will try to visit all gay saunas in Bangkok (realistic) and Thailand (optimistic). Will update as I progress.
Updated and extended from:
Alphabetic list (disregarding numbers, articles, punctuation
marks, “sauna” in name) of currently operating gay saunas with websites (only
own website or facebook, not counting entries on other websites; “offline”
means nothing comes, “overtaken” means other stuff is displayed, date is when I
first noticed) and landline phone number and date of my last visit:

M-Place is in Nonthaburi province, Pumarin is in Pathum Thani province, Safe House in Samut Prakan province, but all filed under Bangkok because they are easily accessible from Bangkok.
While others usually grab my cock (in passing or in dark room), I touch abdomen between navel and waistband to check body fat and body hair and skin temperature all in one go.
About one third of gay saunas in Bangkok has one cute staff whom I would chose over any customer.
The following table is an update of
http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2015/09/bangkok-gay-saunas-update-sep-2015.html
Distance by air in km from Malaysia hotel with indication of direction.
Distance by air in km from Malaysia hotel with indication of direction.
Entry price in Baht for weekdays and medium age
(price can vary: young/old, weekday/weekend, early/late, special events,
membership). Price in brackets is the price I paid, but it might be weekend
price, will check for weekday price. Some places have higher prices for over 50
year olds: 300 Baht at Nake, R3, Macho X, Sauna Mania.
Opening times on weekdays (in 24 hour format, minutes
omitted in case of full hour).
Towel quality. Chakran gets downgraded from good to soso in towel because they have “small towel” days. Same for Sauna Mania, different towel size on different days.

Food or Drink available. M-Place had free guava (as
long as lasts, about 30 minutes) on two visits, Male Box and 39 underground
have free cookies. Farose 2 has free buffet and free drinks (soft drinks and
whisky), Babylon, Chakran, Grey Gym and Heaven have a restaurant (abbreviated
rst in table), most have free drinking water.
Size of sauna. Small, medium or large by my
estimation of square meters. You could expect 20, 50, 100 customers.
Pool or Jacuzzi. Farose 2 sauna has a pool, but I
have only once in over 10 visits seen someone using it. (Jacuzzi) means there
is a Jacuzzi, but it was not in operation when I visited.
Access. Ease of accessibility by public transport
(NOT distance from central Bangkok), signage and is there anything else around?
39 underground gets good because easily accessible from BTS and food stall and
massage parlors around. R3 gets soso despite walking distance to MRT because
you have to follow detailed instructions to find it.
I could add condom/lube/poppers to indicate availability of these items. Theme days or underwear or towel. I guess small towel in some places is to enforce underwear.
