siriusBE Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Colleagues have told me that Sansuk has a new owner. Is there any reliable information on this? Quote
Olddaddy Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I hope if that's correct , that the place is refurbished. I did stay there and can't complain at the 1500 a night average price with free sauna access, just it does need a refurbishment. I did stay years ago many times at Punyas Howards Hotel and that was also fantastic ! I love the Gay Sauna and I got lucky on my last visit a few times with guys from south Korea and China WelshGuyUK 1 Quote
siriusBE Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 I love it too, that's why I fear things can go down the drain. Quote
Londoner Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Any comments from recent visitors as to how busy it is nowadays? and the Thai/falang ratio? What has happened to Punya? a nice guy. Quote
Olddaddy Posted June 17 Posted June 17 I can only speak about last month in May , I recall it being very busy one Friday night that there was a line up . There was lot of younger trendy type guys from Singapore and Malaysia , Quote
Popular Post siriusBE Posted June 17 Author Popular Post Posted June 17 1 hour ago, WelshGuyUK said: @Olddaddy Where's Punyas Howard hotel you mention? It's sold... story from https://thaisiamonline.wixsite.com/sansuk/publicity Punya met his lover, Howard, in Bangkok. They eventually moved and spent ten years together in the USA. Howard, who had been a stock broker, taught Punya how to invest in the Thai stock market. Punya was a good student and after Howard passed away, Punya invested his profits in a four story building on Soi VC in Pattaya, which became the highly successful Howard’s Guest House and Bar. Many customers would inquire where there was a gay sauna in Pattaya. As there weren’t any, Punya’s entrepreneurial instincts kicked in and the rest, as they say, is history. The sauna opened about a year later and shortly after, the guest house opened its doors. When Punya sold Howard’s six years later, he used the proceeds to do extensive renovations to the sauna and build the new eight story addition to the guest house. vinapu, aussie_, Olddaddy and 3 others 3 3 Quote

One of my close volleyball friends works at Sansuk and I asked him today if the Sansuk has a new owner and he said that the staff were not aware of such news. I asked him to ask Punya to comment on this gossip. Also, note that the sauna part of the complex is very busy and the hotel side of the business is experiencing normal levels of occupancy expected for low season. splinter1949 and Olddaddy 2 Quote

siriusBE Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 1 hour ago, bkkmfj2648 said: SiriusBE - I was asked if you can reveal the source of this rumor ? There is a group about Sansuk on PlanetRomeo where someone posted that. I asked him and it seems that the original source was a review on Google. So not necessarily the most trustworthy source. Maybe I was in panic mode when I read that 😱 Olddaddy 1 Quote
Guymac Posted June 17 Posted June 17 I read this rumour in the Romeo group. It was posted yesterday with the OP asking the question in German. There has been on reply since (also in German) from someone saying: "In February everything was still the same... including the owner who follows you around :-) It would be a real shame if that changed." Maybe that reply came from one of the group! I must admit, having never been to Sansuk, I have been reading the Google reviews and and didn't come across any rumour about the owner moving on. m Februar war noch alles beim Alten... auch der Besitzer der einem nachläuft 🙂 Wäre echt schade wenn sich das geändert ha vinapu 1 Quote
Popular Post bkkmfj2648 Posted June 18 Popular Post Posted June 18 ok, as promised, I made contact with Punya today - the owner of Sansuk Sauna & Guesthouse https://sansukthailand.com/ He confirmed that the rumor that started this thread is FALSE. He did not sell Sansuk and he is still the current owner of Sansuk. He was happy to be alerted by this false rumor and that I volunteered to clarify the situation. reader, WelshGuyUK, Ruthrieston and 6 others 7 2 Quote
Olddaddy Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Thanks 👍 Not that I'm a regular customer, but I was concerned our only Sauna was disappearing Quote
