| PHNOM PENH: Saunas 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. Utopia Member Discount

"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

#18 Street 246, Sangkat Chaktamok, Khan Daun Penh (behind the old parliment, near the palace and the Himawari Hotel), Utopia Map, 016-786-878.
Comments from Utopians:
"I went to Galaxy Khmer today and saw a lot of young guys, but all rooms are almost pitch dark and for now they only have steam and fitness room." -- RowieSHAN, May 16, 2010
"Great place. Simple, spartan and manly. The two pools are big, dark and cruisy and allows views to individual shower rooms walled with translucent glass that reveal the shadow of men in the showers. The steam room has cornered alleys and encourages movement in almost total darkness. A lot of cabins on 2/F and the video room is big. US$3 entry is very affordable." -- Traveller123, Dec 29, 2009
"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.
Comments from Utopians:
"What a great, friendly place. Always seemed busy. Staff very helpful. Great location. Well worth the visit." -- beyourhero, Aug 6, 2010
"I went to Romantic Sauna on my recent trip to PP. Very funny night. The shower is pitch black with no lights, I gather to allow for Khmer modesty. However, I had my glasses off so was a bit lost. I also couldn't see how to turn the shower on in the dark. Someone kindly helped me out. Then went upstairs and found the place full of young, camp Khmer holding hands and giggling. A rather nice looking chunky manly guy came up to me and said 'you are too fat'. Well I am big but I thought he was a bit rude. He was solid so I said back, 'you are too fat, too,' thinking 'that will fix him.' Next thing I know he grabbed my nipple and dragged me into a room. Had a nice time." -- ghekko62, Mar 31, 2010
