Gay saunas Saigon
An overview of gay saunas and massage in Saigon and Danang and Nha Trang (but not Hanoi, I haven't been recently). No gay hotels or bars, not my area of interest. This post just names, address, coordinates, websites. Details about visits separately in gay activities of the month. Addresses and phone numbers from google maps or their website. A few general notes on saunas.
Massage is only a side business for me, I haven't done any this trip. I just list those covered by shamelessmack and link to his excellent reviews. Read there for general information as well.
There are places with similar names, misleading names (sauna/spa/massage), just sauna, just massage, or sauna and massage. All places I have been to with coordinates because it has happened several times that I found places on google maps in the wrong location.
A general note on temperatures. From places that have a thermometer, I can estimate temperatures at places that don't and call them the following: sauna off (room temperature = 30 C), luke warm 50 C, warm 70 C, hot 90 C. If someone opens the door to a luke warm or warm sauna, the entering air with room temperature would feel cold on your skin. Jacuzzi off 30 C (feels cold), warm 35-38 C, hotter would be specifically labelled with temperature.
Gay sauna density for selected cities:
Bangkok 25 saunas for 15m inhabitants = 1 for 600k,
Pattaya 1 sauna for 400k inhabitants = 1 for 400k,
Chiang Mai 2 saunas for 1.2m inhabitants = 1 for 600k,
Danang 1 sauna* for 1.4m inhabitants = 1 for 1.4m,
Nha Trang 1 sauna for 500k inhabitants = 1 for 500k,
Saigon 12 saunas for 10m inhabitants = 1 for 1m.
Phnom Penh 5 saunas** for 2.3m in habitants = 1 for 500k.
Siem Reap 1 sauna for 300k = 1 for 300k.
(*or two? I just learnt of http://www.saunaformen.com/)

Saunas and massages in Saigon alphabetically, disregarding articles, then numerically.
My favorite is Galaxy. The Dream Sauna has potential, if only they would turn up the light and turn down the music!

4, DE.SOI9 SAUNA: THE SAUNA WHERE LOCALS COME TO MINGLE
This one is relatively new among gay spas and saunas smacked in the center of busy Saigon. Address: 24 Đinh Tien Hoang, Dakao, District 1, HCMC.
nothing on google maps, but this is where I was looking in vain:

3 Some Spa (on google maps Spa Some3) about 19:40. Price list, about 20 boys shown on pad. None of them appeals to me, but certainly many of my readers would be happy. Sauna is free in combination with massage, or 100k only sauna. But I'm looking for a gay sauna, and not massage with attached sauna, there will be no other customers. Spot about 20 lockers (for customers or staff?), and everything nicely decorated. Receptionist okay English. Read reviews on google maps, customer satisfaction varies widely.

https://www.travelgay.com/venue/69-sauna-zone says:
39/3 Pham Ngoc Thach St, District 3, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
Popular new gay sauna that has become the talk of the town. The 69 Sauna attracts many fit, handsome guys, with daily theme and discounts for gym members, students and youngsters. Located on a small alley next to Poc Poc Beer Club.
neither on google maps, but:
https://nomadicboys.com/gay-saigon/ says:
Due to the drag shows, Poc Poc attracts a very mixed LGBTQ crowd on weekends, particularly locals. Poc Poc Beer Garden is located at 79A Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, Phường Võ Thị Sáu and is open daily until around 2am.
address leads to "POCPOC Garden" on google maps.
The SixtyNine Zone
Run by the same people behind De.Soi9 Sauna, The SixtyNine Zone is a popular gay sauna that holds regular themed days for bears, students, etc. Spread out over two floors there's a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and even a private play space called “The Tiger Cage Area” – phwoar!!! The SixtyNine Zone is located at 39/3 Pham Ngoc Thach Street and is open every day from 11 am-11 pm.

30-Sep-2023 Visited Friday around 7pm. Not crowded, maybe 10 people. Earlier is a better time to go I think. Mixed crowd. Everyone was naked but wearing a towel. There are two floors, the second floor has several maze rooms. There are no private rooms. There are also no actual dark rooms, most of the maze was dimly lit.
23-Jan-2019 As a 54 year old Westerner, I never expected anything, but couldn't believe how much attention I got, mainly from local guys appearing in their 20s-30s. I had several on me at any one time up in the dark room, though later on at 7pm or 8pm, it's nearly empty. Best sexperience in my life, I revisited twice.
16-Aug-2018 Visited twice on Sunday & Monday afternoons, busy both times. Poc Poc Beer Club easy to find and the sauna is in the alley to the left - no signage. Welcome friendly and receptionist spoke English, all staff very friendly.
