King of places and one with an amazing reputation it well deserves. In the past, when I flew in to Bangkok, I’d always make the Babylon first stop after I’d checked in the hotel. A nice relaxing massage (maybe 2 hours) and I’d come out de-jet-lagged. So what does it offer for those who don’t know the place? First it’s a sauna. But on a huge scale. With several floors in two buildings of dark rooms, jacuzzis, steam and dry saunas, a gym, and a huge swimming pool and bar area in between. They also offer massage, and this is of a high standard (but there’s no happy ending – you don’t need one!) The hotel attached to the complex is sumptuous. If you don’t mind staying next to a sauna (and it’s a bit tucked away) this is luxury. They also have a variety of snack bars and a good restaurant. IF you were that way inclined you could spend the whole holiday here and not come out. Look out for their special parties, such as foam parties.

Finally if you’re fat, overweight and white, don’t worry. There are plenty of Thai boys there who will take care of you without asking for a tip…
