Due to police harassment, saunas in KL are no longer able to carry condoms or display safer sex educational information. Please bring your own safety supplies with you and share them with those you meet. And, most importantly, properly dispose of any used materials to prevent further harassment.
"It is true, Senses and Sentral have closed. Try Super, Kakiku, or Forest. Fans of bears and chubs can try Forest. Super is a bit old but half the price. Forest is busiest on Sat and Sun afternoon. Bring sandals for hygiene especially in Super. In case of a rare spot check, do not leave used protection and packaging on the floor. Where exactly are they? Do your own due diligence because in recent times the political climate is leaning against LGBTQ+. It is already reported that the Johor government will establish a "rehabilitation centre" for individuals deemed deviant to Islamic teachings and those who engage in same-sex relationships, building a facility for (now universally condemned as damaging) "conversion therapy," due to finish this Jul. Programs such as these want a body count to show success." -- greateastern, Jan 11, 2024
BUKIT BINTANG / KL CITY CENTER
Facing the Grand Millenium Hotel, go down the alley on the left side of the hotel. In front of you, you will see a row of shophouses with Day Thermos' large sign. This small men's cruising facility is right in the heart of the tourist area. 1/F has lockers large enough to store your backpack; a TV lounge, bar and garden atrium. 2/F has rain showers, both public and private; steam maze and dry sauna, small gym and dark room. Crowd is mainly foregners. Busy 5-8pm.
CHERAS
Leave MRT Maluri Station Exit D and walk 3 minutes towards an elevated highway on the right. When you reach the elevated highway, look ahead and you will see Hotel Mezzo. Walk a few more minute towards the hotel. Beside the hotel is the road where the sauna is located. Or, from city center, take a taxi to "Jln Cheras 3 1/2 Miles" and pass by the tall Menara PGRM building. Stay on Jln Cheras another 100m, past the Petronas petrol station, and turn left onto Jln Cerapu 1 (there's a well-known restaurant, Sang Kee, with a red rocket at this corner). Take the next right turn within the shophouses and Kakiku is in the building on your left. You can see some stylized black footprints on the windows of 2/F. Go up the stairway. Gay-owned and very well-managed men's complex. Very large and clean facilities include steam, dry sauna, jacuzzi, broadband Net, mini-cinema, TV lounge, and café bar. B/F nude cruise space opens about 7pm. Crowd is local, mostly Chinese, in their 20s-30s. Open Mon-Fri 5pm-midnight; Sat, Sun and public holidays 2pm-midnight. 'Special Function' nights are now held in the basement and on weekends, that area is a hive of activities. Busiest times are weekends, 5-9pm.
Only a couple blocks away from the Chow Kit Monorail Station, Star PWTC LRT station, and KTM Putra commuter train station. The minor road Jln Ipoh Kecil exists in two separate, but unconnected, parts. One runs SE to NW, but the other, in which OTOT˛ is located, is situated to the south of the first part and runs South to North off the main road Jln Putra. The Sani Hotel (labeled as the Hotel Grand Central on Google Maps as of Aug 2012) is situated on the corner of Jln Putra and Jln Ipoh Kecil, and is the best landmark to aim for whether coming by taxi or on foot from any of the nearby train stations. From the Sani/Grand Hotel Hotel walk north up Jln Ipoh Kecil to the last block of shophouses on your right. You will need a keen eye to spot the name OTOT˛, which is painted on the front of the small letter box situated at the bottom of the stairway just past the karaoke pub. If you hit the stairway to PT Foundation, Malaysia's GLBT AIDS outreach offices (marked with a large pink triangle), then you've gone just a bit too far. Otot-otot means "muscles" in Malay and is also a naughty play on the Malay notion that something else is a muscle, too. First-time visitors have to sign up and become members, for a modest one-time fee. The decor and design is beautiful (it retains a bit of the comfort and charm of the original Babylon in Bangkok). Large gym with modern equipment, aerobics room (yoga and body pump classes are also on offer), coffee area, satellite TV room and lockers are on the reception level. 2/F (which is open to the sky) has seating areas with lots of potted shrubs, a beautiful and private jacuzzi area, showers, a steam room and a large, dark resting area. 5pm-midnight weekdays and 3pm-midnight weekends and holidays. All ages and races make this a truly international men's facility. Businest after dark.
"OTOT˛ is as busy and fun as always." -- Louis, Jul 6, 2024
