I think there were about 6 saunas open in London prior to the plague. Obviously none of them are permitted to open at present.Originally Posted by gerefan2
The Pleasuredrome Website indicates they will be reopening soon. The Shitbox, sorry Sweatbox had a major refit a couple of years ago, so I guess they will reopen.
There's a definite decline in this sector. Berlin is down from 3 saunas to 1 pre-covid, although at least it was a very nice sauna, unlike the grotty ones in London.
There's a definite decline in the sauna business everywhere I go. Even on the occasional visit to The Pleasuredrome, there are not even any fit lads to look at from a distance, never mind fit & available.
As with everything, I suspect it's mobile phone dating that's killing them off.
For the youngsters, why spend £20 in a sauna, when they can meet someone on Grindr for free ?
Then once hardly any youngsters are there, there's even less reason for the remainder to go.
I imaging phones are killing off the sauna trade in Bangkok too. Possibly combined with property redevelopment opportunities.
I wouldn't think the Sansuk in Pattaya has long to go. Farang don't go to Pattaya to chase after other Farang and the cute Asian youngsters are priced out of the place. It's difficult to hook fish without bait.
