Chakran Sauna

Chakran is one of Bangkok's most upscale gay saunas, a Moroccan-themed five-floor complex in the leafy Ari district, long regarded as the main rival to the legendary Babylon. It offers an indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a dry sauna and steam room, a gym, a dark maze, video glory holes, private cabins and a cafe-bar-restaurant serving Thai food, crowned by "Ikuze," the first men-only rooftop onsen in town with skyline views in every direction. Clean, stylish and popular for its foam and naked parties, it draws a mostly Thai and Asian crowd that's busiest after work and on weekends. Male massage is available next door at the same owners' V Club.
