  • G_M changed the title to Taiwan's Aniki Sauna Closing after Feb 16

OH NO!!  It is closing before I had the opportunity to visit it!   February 16 is too early...  I checked their website and they don't give any explanation of why.

 

Not that I care for that hairy ang moh or whoever on the picture.

That hairy torso belongs to the owner, Clark. He was pretty kinky with an exhibitionist streak, but toned down now that he is older.

 

Looks so different from before, I barely recognised him from the interview.

 

Steve, you did not miss much. Went twice, even signed up for their bracelet pass thingy. It really is a white elephant.

 

Amazing facilities, but empty AF. No use going there unless you want to be by yourself knocking around like a ghost in a spaceship. lol

You sound to me like the guy who wrote the Spartacus sauna guide.😆

Is there any sauna in the world you hadn't visited?

You have to be there during special events, ie Foam parties and lube parties, or during promotions. It can get very crowded and a good mixture of guys. On regular weekdays, it's a ghost town.

Remember I was there for the first time few years back. It was on the night of Taipei Pride and the queue went all the way from the entrance of the sauna to the main entrance of the building. That was a crazy night. There were a dozen of Asian boys surrounding a Caucasian who was jerking off. Lol and when he came everyone went crazy for his cum.

I was there in 2017 weekend of Taipei Pride, the year before gay marriage was legalised. Although there were like 50 clients it felt quite empty. Some of the facilities and rooms were closed off too. There was one or two highly elusive 超级天菜 hiding in rooms, the rest were average looking. Because the facility was too big, and with that unflattering lighting, the whole place felt like a mortuary.

Yes i think that’s one of the problem it’s too big lol I wasn’t able to have any fun too but it was packed that night. I think that was 2016? They just moved to the new place for a short while. I guess the vibe had worn off soon after. The entrance fee was crazy expensive!

I think so too. Not point paying so much as a tourist to get scorn by the locals

yeah, seems super expensive, especially for their local income standard

way more expensive than Japanese saunas which are already pretty expensive.

The worth of White men's cum... lol.

This sounds so ridiculous to me. What is so great about standing there and jerking off? if he had topped all Asian boys in the open on a bed with turning disco lights and the Asian boys cheering and applauding ok. but standing their and just jerking his tool?

I know this is ridiculous! Like I was shocked and not in a good way! They were giving every reason for white supremacist to be looking down at them!

pychon please be careful when using such words as "white supremacist". sure there are white guys who think they are superior to others, but there are even Asians who have same thinking. Not going into details, but I guess you are sufficiently smart to know what I mean.

 

I think Taiwan doesn't have so many Ang Moh tourists. at least from my personal experience never saw plenty.

They relied too much on their exhorbitant 1000TWD cover charge for foreign visitors?

There was a time when ANIKI was rumored to be the best gay sauna.  This is why I always wanted to visit it.

 

The 1000NTD would not have be a deterrent,  but only if the experience were excellent.  From what I read here,  it was far from that.

Another high cost sauna is Ratchada (R3) in BKK, which I remember wanted seniors to pay 1400 bht for its main events  (this is more than ANIKI's charge)

The last time I went to R3 was in 2015, when they charged me twice the usual rate because I was over 50.  That night something broke and they had to close, and I got my money back.  This was the last time I set foot there, and I don't plan to be exploited again.

 

Good bye ANIKI.  I stick with my favorite Babylon, which does not do age discrimination and which I always find to be a good value.  Next time I go to BKK I will stay there again :)

I heard rumours Babylon is on the brink of closure too. But not because of covid more because the owner is old and lost interest in going on. Source from someone at the management. But never know if its a marketing trick, because the closure has been circulating many months already.

You will need another favourite. Babylon is closed - for good.

Guest Babylon done?

Opportunity for Singapore to open Hadrian's Villa, a new sprawling gay sauna complex catering to concubine type gays who are fans of Palace dramas and live their lives to service the emperor.

Was it the sauna that had a age discrimination regulation that banned patrons over certain age from entering ?

Sad to hear this.  Unlike other saunas, Babylon had a fixed price for both locals and foreigners alike.  The price is only higher on weekends and public holidays.
