Had two encounters with him on one of the upper floors 😉 Yes. A nice guy....and one of those many Thais who keeps his looks into middle age! We like the restaurant there, too. Thai food, nothing fancy, but tasty and reasonably priced. Come to think of it, a meal next to the swimming pool at dusk with cute guys lounging around makes a change from bars.

Although it attracts a young crowd, some members report enjoying their visits. 39 Underground Sauna is a short walk from Saphan Kwai BTS. Attended by a local crowd of mixed age, it reportedly welcomes foreigners. I will try 39 today. I hope it's not too crowded today because of Chinese new year. An old sauna saying goes: the more people, the less action. There used to be a sauna in BKK that was notorious for ripping off and discriminating older farangs. Which one was that? Have I already said how much I miss the old Babylon? t0oL1 1 Quote

Popular Post siriusBE Posted February 11 Popular Post Posted February 11 5 hours ago, Olddaddy said: Please keep us updated Ok, I am already back from 39 Underground (no need to stay any longer 😉 ) It's just a 2 minutes walk from the Saphan Khwai BTS Station at the dead end of a small soi. Entrance fee was 250 (weekend price). At 2 pm it was already crowded. About 100 Asians and 2 Farangs 😉 The sauna spreads about 4 floors, 3 of them underground, hence the name. There is also a little bar and a roof "garden". In the very dark underground there was action on every square inch. As expected, most of the guys were more into Asians, but I had my fun too... plenty of it. It's not the cleanest place on earth, but I found it acceptable. All action was raw, never saw a condom in usage. I hope they use at least PREP since it's much cheaper here in TH. Today was naked theme, that`s why you only got a small towel and you were not allowed to carry the towel in the action areas. So for me, the visit was worthwhile, even though I was more or less the only Western guy there. Marc in Calif, Olddaddy, vinapu and 3 others 3 3 Quote

The average I would say is around 30-35. When I arrived, the average probably went up another 5 years 😉 dscrtsldnbi, Olddaddy, reader and 1 other 4 Quote

Probably an area behind the entry/reception. Quote

livewell777 Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Hey! I intend to go to a Sauna to check it out. I contracted 39 underground. They said they don’t provide slippers. So you have to walk barefoot everywhere? Did this happen with you? Can someone shed some light please. Quote
Mavica Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Just pick up an inexpensive pair at one of the markets. Long time ago I started traveling with a pair, wherever I go for use in hotel rooms, beach, pool, saunas, etc. reader 1 Quote

Sauna mania doesn't let you use sandals from outside as far as I know, not sure if you bring them in a backpack or gymbag is different, I only showed up with my sandals I was using and they said they are dirty because I've been on the street. vinapu 1 Quote
