Guys, we’re so sorry since the legendary Babylon Bangkok is closed down forever, Dr.Deyn doesn't have any recommendations for a sauna in Bangkok. But here are some alternatives where gay people cruise.

For more sweaty adventurous saunas, currently, VCKCoolSpace (Chakran Sauna) and Zen Onsen are surely places you don’t want to miss, guaranteed a happy endless night.

VCKCoolSpace

Only 6 minutes away from Ari BTS Station. This place is what you would imagine a gay sauna would be like, a steamy ambiance flooded with tantalizing men wearing nothing but a piece of fabric walking around opening up to a good time. Packed with lovely amenities such as a gym, hot tub, and adult playground. If everything goes unbearably hot, catch a break at their bar and dining room, replenishing your battery for another go. Relax and take it easy, the night’s still young.

Zen Onsen

Craving a hot hot spring? I’m presenting you the Zen Onsen, a delinquent place for men who are still young at heart, situated in Ratchayothin BTS Station. This onsen is known for its great hot water and atmosphere. Surround yourself with tired office men who might be interested in taking a step further.

Gay men's health in Bangkok 

PULSE Clinic is a private clinic whose mission is to promote and provide excellence in standards of care and education. Our focus is to improve the quality of people's well-being, normalize sexual health awareness, and reduce the HIV disease burden across the region. Our ultimate goal is to make more people aware of their status by promoting the benefits of testing, prevention, treatment, and continuous care.

Over the past 8 years, we have been providing quality care to over 100,000 clients globally. After our first years in business, we realized that HIV and sexual health are due to stigma and a judgmental environment. We came to the understanding that there was a huge demand for not only MSM to have access to a safe and discreet sexual health clinic, but there was a need from all people. Because of this, we expanded our services to more locations in Thailand and internationally to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Philippines. Pulse looks to continue to expand throughout Asia, as it is one of the biggest hubs of international travel.

We remain committed to being a leading international organization in comprehensive modern sexual health and global research initiatives while facilitating a non-judgmental environment. PULSE wants to encourage and empower people to live healthy, happy, and be proud of their sexual lifestyle.
