I was only able to comment on Level 1 (reception and locker area) and Basement 1 (sauna and hot tubs). I didn’t go down to Basement 2, as I was there specifically for the sauna and hot soak. For Beitou hot springs, you may wish to consider 皇池. The entrance ticket will be 250NTD. If you intend to eat there and expect to spend 400NTD or more per person on food, you can use the pool for free. The signature porridge, costing 880NTD, is highly recommended, as it can serve up to 3-4 people. horhorfun and KevK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino even returned my 200 but i gave him the 100 back saying he can buy a drink with it instead. i have only ever given 300 maximum and that's for a 120mins service of which the masseur already has a big commission. too much tips will eventually spoil the market for those who aren't able to give as much. let's keep it that way. 1000 TWD is about 41 SGD, which is not expensive. Cannot compare to Thai cost of living, theirs is much lower. Quote Will you be my valentine's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another popular one called Han's but the crowd seems to be older? Did you go? Any thoughts? I visited Hans during my recent trip to Taipei. Hans is located in the heart of Ximending, with a mixed crowd, mostly bigger sized guys. Since I wasn't there for fun, the crowd didn't really affect me as I was there to use the dry sauna. However, I still managed to make some friendly twink friends there. One positive aspect of Hans is that they provide unlimited towels in the bath area and do not charge extra for foreigners. It costs 400 NTD. Another public hot spring that you may wish to consider is the Jiaoxi Hot Springs, known as the 森林風呂. You can find many like-minded Taiwanese twink friends there as well. The entrance fee is 200 NTD. Please remember to bring your own bath towel. KevK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimfun Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 It's common for any country to license unethical services but they need to pay for a special license that comes with strict regulations and requirements. For example, all sex providers must undergo monthly screenings/tests, and pre-medication is compulsory. These services are only allowed to operate in designated zones, such as our Geylang area. Typically, the license fees and obligations aren't cheap, and in many countries, additional under-the-table payments are common. That's also why you end up paying more for that type of massage. As a result, many unlicensed sex establishments will disguise themselves as massage parlors, when in reality, they are providing prostitution services. Once they become well-known and attract attention from direct or indirect competitors, they are reported to the authorities for not paying the correct licensing fees and under-the-table payments. This often leads to raids taking place. The funniest part is that unlicensed establishments, without applying for the correct license due to costly fees, still charge high prices as if they were licensed.

Makes perfect sense. The whole point of not getting the license is to cut cost and increase profit margin, not to cut cost and pass savings to customers. 🫡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REQUEST for a gay friendly room. You may note it upon reservation and make sure to confirm it with the reception upon arrival.
