Zen Onsen

Came here on Saturday at 4pm when they just opened the door. The place was clean, beautiful decoration, very zen feel, and staff were nice especially the staff at the bar lounge. Upon entering, they asked for name and phone number if you were here the first time. Fee was 450 bahts. You got a bag of large and small towels and a yukata. For the wet area (jacuzzi, steamroom) you dont need to wear anything. For the lounge and rest area with private rooms, you needed to wear the yukata. The place was very clean even in the private room. They provided a cleaning spray and tissues in there. You can also dim the light to your liking. Water in the jacuzzi was warm enough and steamroom temperature was good. I gave 5 star for the facility and staff. The place was a little small but if you are here to relax then it is a perfect place. There 3 free massage chairs on the 3rd floor. The 4th floor is under construction. As for the crowd, most of them were middle age. There were few young ones. From my observation, they were either too shy or too selective. I did not see anything happened in the steamroom, and the private rooms were always available. They glanced or stared each others in the steamroom and no one made any moves. To access to this place from Silom, just take BTS to Ratchayothin, exit 4, go downstairs and walk straight for 2 minutes, you will see it right at the escalator entrance to the BTS station. I like this place than the Yuminori since it is for gay people. Personally, I recommend this place for relaxation, and dont expect much unless you are young and hot.

This onsen is very convenient, located right next to bts exit. The quality of guys and crowd size here are not as good compared to another onsen across the street. On a Saturday evening, there are only around 30 guys, aged 30-50, average to chubby body types mostly, all locals and I’m the only foreigner but they are friendly. The shower area is small, cramped and only 4 shower head and layout isn’t inviting for action so the guys will queue to use it one by one. There are also very few toilet…1 below near the shower which is for without bathrobe and 2 in the middle floor that needs to change into bathrobe that makes it very inconvenient. However, there’s a lot of redundant space at the lobby and rooftop that’s under utilised and poorly designed. The rooms for action are blasted by strong aircon and fans so nobody use them as they are too cold. The massage chairs are good for relaxing and the cafe space is cosy too. This place looks way better in the YouTube videos than it actually is. Now I understand why people rather go to the onsen opposite instead of this despite zen is cheaper.

I visited the establishment on Friday and was thrilled. It may be a small space, but it has several floors. The first floor has the entrance with the reception. The employee at reception asked for my telephone number. No matter which country, the main thing was a number. Why? I don't know. I have given the number of a friend of mine ;) The lockers and a toilet are on the same floor. In the basement is the pool with warm water, the small but popular steam bath, as well as 2 seated showers and 2 standing showers. On the second floor is the bar with seating and more toilets. On the 2nd floor there are several mechanical massage chairs for guests and individual cabins as retreats. On the 3rd floor there is a small open-air space and further individual rooms. All floors have a modern design and are kept clean. The staff are friendly, as are the guests. Many of the guests are sporty and attractive. An absolute recommendation from me.
