Guest wowpow Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 [attachmentid=75] Sansuk sauna soon to cater to gay needs in Pattaya Sticky Rice Magazine Babylon-style Sansuk sauna will be another gay landmark in Pattaya By Suzy Size (the arguably most infamous gay writer of Thailand, based in wonderful Pattaya les bains) I bumped into Punya Ratana the other day. He is the owner of gay Howards Hotel and of Sansuk sauna, the new gay landmark in Pattaya that is supposed to open by the end of this month. So Punya naturally is very busy these days. All those queer little details that have to be taken care of, for instance a sign. Stylish Sansuk gay sauna in Pattaya is located on Thappraya Road (leading from Pattaya over the hill to Jomtien gay beach) in Soi 11 (next to Siam Thani). Punya feels - and I agree with him - that there should be a sign since not all our gay brothers and sisters are as smart as Suzy Size and can smell a promising new gay place from far away. So our designer who is currently also working on the Sansuk Website (www.sansukpattaya.com, have a first glance), came up with some good ideas. Some Punya thought were a bit too bold or too gay to be displayed on a road with a lot of (non gay) traffic. You know how it is with gay matters in Pattaya or Thailand as a whole: You can do what you want as long as you do it discreetly. We show you some of the samples, do you think they are too gay? Question by Suzy Size: When exactly will you open Sansuk gay sauna? Answer by Punya Ratana: I hope to be able have a soft opening of Sansuk gay sauna before the end of November. As with any construction, deadlines are more usually missed than achieved so please watch this and (www.sansukpattaya.com) website for updates. Question by Suzy Size: What does Sansuk gay sauna in Pattaya consist of? Answer by Punya Ratana: The Sauna Complex has three floors, the ground floor has reception, lockers, restaurant and bar area, sitting area with TV and internet connections, steam room, sauna, gym, showers and toilets. The garden area has trees and shrubs, swimming pool, outdoor Jacuzzi and another steam room with showers and toilets. Question by Suzy Size: What else does Sansuk gay sauna offer the visitors of Pattaya? Answer by Punya Ratana: The 2nd floor has private massage rooms, relaxing rooms, dark room, toilets and showers. The 3rd floor has a large relaxing area with bar. The introductory entrance fee will be 180 Baht. Well Suzy Size is impressed after the little tour through this new gay heaven. She thinks: This Babylon-style sauna with all the possible amenities you can think of is expected to be a great addition to the gay facilities of Pattaya. Work out in the Gym, swim in the pool with water fall, cruise in the dark rooms or first make eye contact in the roof-top bar. After a first round you might want to have a bite in the Restaurant. And then, rejuvenated, you are ready to cruise again. And even during the rainy season you can hunt for great gay pleasures without getting wet. Sort of, that is. www.sansukpattaya.com is under construction courtesy http://www.stickyrice.ws/ Quote
Guest sydneyboy Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 It might be early days but what does the "guesthouse" look like? I am in Pattaya in May next year (I hope) and am thinking of staying there (if it is ready). Will "guesthouse" guests have unlimited access to the suana facilities, pool, gym etc? I am a little wary of the advertising of gay resorts. The photo that is included in your post with those very cute looking boys is typical of the inducement of owners of gay establishments to entice gullible tourists. I well recall the very elaborate, glossey brochure put out by the Siam Thani when it opened a few years ago adorned with photos of topless boys built like Greek gods, "luxurious" accomodation etc and the the inducement that these boys were there for your pampering whatever that may be. I almost fell for it until I read the atrocious reviews (God bless the internet). Quote
Guest namjai Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I have known Punya for several years now and he is pretty upfront with what he does. I would suggest emailing him at info@howards-pattaya.net and ask him for details. Quote
