Overview of currently open or recently closed gay saunas in Bangkok. So much has changed since last year https://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2022/05/bangkok-gay-saunas-2022.html requiring a new post.
New: some locations in coordinates. Over last years, I found that several places I saved on google maps were moved to an incorrect location, and I submitted corrections.
This post is mostly armchair research. I have only been to a few. In all other cases I just called or checked their Facebook, Twitter, Line. In these uncertain times it's better to call everywhere to make sure they are open. Times are in 24-hour-system, omitting zero minutes for full hours.
There is a list in Thai of 58 gay venues in Bangkok, see end of post, that I used for this update as well. Has names and locations in Thai. Includes gogo bars, karaoke, discos, some I have never heard of.
Some places have shows or orgies or other special events, not covered in this post. Some places have theme days, not covered either.
Alphabetic list (numbered, disregarding numbers, articles, punctuation marks, “sauna” in name) with websites (only their 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:

Sauna Mania #17 on the first list is in soi PhiPhat 2 , off Convent Rd. Never been inside but passed by many times. It's actually well posted.
ReplyDelete58 saunas is remarkable
ReplyDeleteFor comparison, Berlin has, AFAIK, just one now.
Admittedly it wouldn't surprise me if they spent more building on Der Boiler than all 58 Saunas in Bangkok.
J
Those 58 are gay venues of all types. Saunas 29 in my list, of which 5 are closed.
Delete11. Grey Gymnastics aka “GG”, closed down,
