Is Babylon Sauna in Bangkok closed for good?

Does anyone know? I understand many places are currently closed becuse of covid, but is Babylon closed for good?

A Thai friend of mine, who was a regular visitor, says yes closed for good,

so sad...i had amazing times there!!

Me too... more at the previous site it has to be said. However, its popularity had been declining for some years. Saunas are victims of the apps, just like go go bars. Furthermore, the prices were high for Thais and so during my last visits the sauna was dominated by falangs. I don't travel half-way round the world to meet the same people I meet in London.

I suspect that the coup de grace was dealt by, not Covid, but the redevelopment of the area and its land-value.

That nicely summarizes the key reasons why Babylon & Sansuk are in decline.
