PHNOM PENH: Saunas for Men

Please help us keep these listings current and correct.

Popular Spots

Saunas and Fitness for Men

      Gay saunas in Phnom Penh are busiest from after work hours until about 9pm when all the (mostly married) Khmer men return home to their families. Preferring anonymity. Most of them scoot their motos into covered shelters to avoid being seen.

    • AMAM Café & Spa
        20A St 390, Utopia Map, 012-950-916, email. The first gay sauna in Cambodia. A super friendly, homey, clean and creatively designed gay sauna located a bit southeast of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. G/F has reception and snack bar with couch seating, lockers, showers, dry sauna and a steam maze. 2/F has work-out equipment, cabins, and a gay video lounge with a cruisy corridor and balcony hidden behind it and with views into the video room. 3/F has a whirlpool and 4/F more private cabins. This fun facility attracts a 95% Khmer crowd of all ages and so visitors, while in the minority, attract plenty of attention. Towels and large Khmer krama (sarong) are provided. Easy access to safety supplies. Well managed by a Cambodian/French couple and their dedicated staff. Open 4:30-10pm (closed Mon). Busiest 6-8pm daily. Unbelievably inexpensive.

        "I went to Amam yesterday, but no more lockers available. Fortunately, I was number three on the waiting list and I could finally go inside. So busy! And such a friendly atmosphere. I can confirm that Amam remains the most popular gay spot in Phnom Penh! They only should buy some more lockers." -- Sako, Sep 30, 2009

    • Galaxy Khmer
        #18 Street 246, Sangkat Chaktamok, Khan Daun Penh (behind the old parliment, near the palace and the Himawari Hotel), Utopia Map, 016-786-878.

        "A new gay sauna called Galaxy opened yesterday. Great location. Very nice, clean steam room. Good bar. Full of great guys, local and international." -- T-Bo, Sep 21, 2009

    • Happy Spa
        195A-195B Street 105, 012-488-268, 011-548-868, 092-529-245. Phnom Penh's 3rd gay sauna opens in Oct 2009. Steam, dry sauna and massage on offer.
    • Romantic
        #59 Street 350, Utopia Map, 01-137-7666, 01-621-5215, email. The biggest gay spa in Phnom Penh. G/F has reception, dry (dark) and wet steam (red lit) rooms, showers and a large jacuzzi for up to a dozen men. 2/F has a gym, lockers, cabins, dark corridors and a video room. 3/F has massage area and a nice restaurant with stage and balcony overlooking the neighborhood rooftops. A bit grotty with lots of rough edges (including a metal box protruding into a steam room exit) although the staff are constantly mopping up the rooms and floors (which is good because the wet areas are super slick -- wear the rubber slippers provided). They also provide shampoo, tea and coffee, and safety supplies. A selection of soft drinks available at the bar and sometimes a free drink coupon is included with entry. Entry fee is a bit high for some Khmer so the ratio of tourists to locals is a bit higher here.

        "Romantic Sauna is well run and an OK place to go. If you ask how many people are inside they tell you and you can make a decision from there." -- jiminmelb, Jul 22, 2009

        "Romantic Gay's Spa is OK and the men are not looking for money." -- fire, Mar 23, 2009

        "Romantic Gay's Spa is doing good and the Khmer guys are now into the place. Sat is Underwear Day, other days is just your towel." -- ice_fire, Apr 24, 2009

        "Romantic Gay's Spa is a must visit. Excellent, clean and cheap. For US$5 you get wet/dry sauna, spa, gym. I was there at 3pm on a Tue and there were a few hot Khmer guys there! See map on their website." -- susu2, Jan 1, 2009

        . "Romantic Gay's Spa is really lovely. Difficult to find (not in the location the number would imply - keep going straight maybe two short blocks further on the right and you'll see the sign). Very nice massages and wonderful steam room." -- tycorey, Dec 15, 2008

        "Romantic Gay's Spa is a good place to find some fun. It's not Babylon in decor and diversity, but it certainly is clean and hopping with friendly activity. Ask for condoms and lube - don't be shy, as they don't automatically give them out. As a hairy foreigner I was extremely welcome and in demand with the Khmer guys." -- top8guy, Dec 5, 2008
