Korean Bath Houses

Went to this place called spa castle in queens a while back

I know it’s a spa and **** and I’m supposed to be comfortable with myself but I ain’t ever going back after seeing all that nudity in the locker room, I’ll stick to the ratchet pools
 
i lived in korea for 5 years. can confirm they’re great. after a hard night of drinking there’s nothing better than heading to one of those and hopping in the jacuzzi, hitting the ice bath, putting on the pjs and falling asleep in one of the cold dark rooms. also so much cheaper ($10-$12) if you don’t want / meet a girl and need a hotel room for the night.
Didnt realize they have ones that are overnight. thats pretty cool. Ive been to spa castle in queens. the majority of the building is more like glorified swimming pools but yeah you gotta let it all free in the gender specific areas.

I guess they're very similar to onsens in Japan. I stayed at a pretty big one in Hakone, very large hotel with meals included. Everyones walking around in Yukatas. The hot spring areas themselves were really big, took up the entire floor pretty much and were open 23 hours/day. Since I was jetlagged it was nice to chill in the water at 3am and practically no one else was in there entire place. Which was kind of creepy too hahah.
 
There's a couple of spots in NYC I hit. Russian Turkish. Aire.

Took me a minute to do it for the first time but I ******* love cold pools now.

Feel BRAND ******* NEW when I come out that *****.

Yeah saved me on many occasions...was so nice having that as a backup plan.

That said most of the ones I went to in Seoul were just huge and stuff but not necessarily the most beautiful of places.

The fancy one I used to go to in Busan was something else - Spa Land. So nice. Movie room, massage chairs, comfy sleeping pads, outdoor gender shared foot bath, etc etc
 
i went to a joint in jersey with my wife that was a nice spa. Did all the fancy saunas and finished it off with a tour of the baths. I was feeling mad sus at first cause you had to shower first and go in there naked and hang dong with a bunch of men. But it felt hella good once I jumped into the hot bath and progressed toward the ice cold one to end my day. Felt hella relaxed and free as ****. You ain’t living till you hit one up and walk around, hanging dong like Adam.

Sojo Spa?
 
The one in LA (forgot the name but it s super popular) is really good... The hot and cold rooms as well as the heated floors and restaurant can habe me spending the entire day there.. Also you can go to the rooftop and discretly smoke a joint ...
 
Went to a Turkish bathhouse in Istanbul. Very nice.

Nothing better than a couples massage at a 5 Star type resort on vacation though. Sets the mood perfectly for an afternoon session.
