It is no big secret that the maze of corridors, darkened steam room, sauna, plunge pool and numerous private cabins make Babylon the biggest gay attraction in the city.

But what makes Babylon really stand out is the range and quality of the services and facilities on offer.  You can top up your tan on the sun terrace, practice your breast stroke in the pool, pump up in the well-equipped gym, enjoy a meal at the surprisingly good restaurant, down a cocktail or two in the comfortable bar areas, or simply unwind in the capable hands of an expert masseur.
So, while we all know what will be on the minds of most of its patrons, it is also possible for a monogamous couple to enjoy Babylon’s relaxed 100% gay environment just as much as anyone.

Many customers walk around bare feet, but we recommend bringing your own flip-flops (and gym gear if you want to use the gym).  Otherwise, virtually everyone wears just a towel (provided).

Lockers, stocked with free condoms and lube, and locks are provided.  Bring cash but leave other valuables at your hotel.  If you bring valuables, we recommend leaving them in one of the security boxes located on the wall just after reception rather than your locker in the changing room.

Babylon gets busiest on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 4pm onwards. During public bank holidays, Babylon can fill up very quickly, after which entry is on a ‘one in one out’ basis.  MRT – Lumphini.
