  Comments from Utopians:

  "I visited Sanuk Sauna after seeing it reviewed here. Staff was very friendly. Half locals, half farang. I really enjoyed my stay and met three local guys, one of whom I spent several days with. Pool area is very beautiful and welcoming. The owner enforced appropriate rules of behavior when we were getting too frisky in the spa -- done very politely. Place was clean. Only negative was the weight room which was dated and somewhat dysfunctional. Needs new equipment. Highly recommended." -- Richard0460, Aug 11, 2009

  "Went to Sansuk Sauna on Sat Oct 4 and all was well. Clean. Good mix of farang and Thai. Great pool and open "bath". Excellent meal. The owner was keeping a discreet eye on service. Diverse facilities on three floors plus the little 4th - which became memorable for me. One of my companions, a Thai, went back on Mon and found weekday reduced entry fees FOR ALL and again a good mix of Thai and farang. Had NO moneyboy approaches. So, recommended." -- robbu, Oct 11, 2008

  "I used to go to Sansuk about 4 days a week when I was in town. You would always find a lot of good looking, humpy young guys looking for fun. Now, since they charge B$100 to those under 25, there are very few guys to have and the ones that do go are primarily older moneyboys. Half the showers don't work anymore. The room area is pitch black and should be better lit for old people. The jacuzzi is cold. The aircon is never cool enough. I've already seen a tremendous drop off in both Thai and farang customers. What a shame!" -- thomasso, Sep 30, 2008
