Fugly Warnings

One of our friendly GAMs on the street, trotted up to us breathlessly and hissed in annoyance, "the fuckin' saunas are full of ugly guys...!"

"Why...?" said FuelMix feigning complete ignorance as he swiveled his sunglasses up to his head.

"Because of the Lunar New Year Holidays!" exclaimed the throat, "these Mainland Chinese guys are EVERYWHERE....!! and many of them are soooooooo ugly and sooooooo rude......!! For a long time, the saunas here are no fun.....!!......What to do....??!!"

"Which saunas are getting a lot of ugly Mainland Chinese....?" cooed FuelMix

"In Tsim Sha Tsui, Galaxy of course........and now ABC also - too many ugly guys from across the border. Also Alexander, Big Top and Club Houzz in Mong Kok - they come in groups of 3 or 4 - because Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok is where they go shopping a lot.......They like Alexander because it is big.  They always complain so loudly in the other saunas that they are too small.  Why do they complain.....??? How many gay saunas in China.....? Hah...!!"

"What about Hong Kong side?" enquired FuelMix

"Yeah a lot in Action - still "NoAction" - so many there too"

" I see", said FuelMix

"It is just too many"......sighed the GAM, "it is just like invasion......it is NEVER going to stop...." His voice trailed off as he looked away, "this is not Hong Kong anymore......."

Hong Kong Gay Sauna Reviews

A reader helpfully informed us that our blog has "disappeared" from Google's search results........

Yes! Please continue to post and give reviews. I'm sure there are lurkers out there who read your posts. A year ago if I googled "gay hong kong saunas" your site was ranked on the first page. Now it's no longer appears. Fuck utopia-asia. I got all my info from you and had so much ass and cock at the saunas.


Very best,
Your USA fan
 
FuelMix says:
 
Well....well......well..... what's going on here....??  For the longest time, our blog indeed popped up on the first page of Google's search results, right near or at the top when it came to search terms like:
  • "gay hong kong saunas"
  • "hong kong gay saunas"
  • "gay sauna reviews hong kong" 
  • "gay sauna hong kong"
  • "hong kong gay blog"
  • "gay hong kong blog sauna"
  • "gay blog hong kong sauna"
And the reader's right........the blog has disappeared from Google's search results when we checked pursuant to his e-mail.

Instead, certain "established" gay sites suddenly show up touting "their" sauna reviews.  When we glanced at them, we became intensely suspicious of some of those "reviews".
 
We can only assume that our independent and dynamically updated reviews were powerful, correct and **ahem** influential that some people felt threatened, or they paid Google to increase their search ranking visibility, or Google changed its secret algorithm as to how search rankings are displayed - or all three.

Whilst we're pissed off at our "Google disappearance", we're also intensely flattered at the impact of our unabashed Hong Kong gay sauna reviews. 
 
Apparently, it's not the first time that certain websites have inexplicably disappeared from Google's search results.

We'll leave it to our readers to decide if we've added value with our gay sauna reviews and other writings. If you'd like to come to our assistance via your social media contacts, we'd encourage it.

Saturday - all day to overnite
Sunday - 3pm to 3am

Web: http://www.huntersauna.com.hk/ 


So fags...... 4:30pm on a sultry Monday afternoon and dripping with sweat, FuelMix was in the neighbourhood and thought......."just what the hell is Hunter Sauna like this early in the week........??"  Conventional wisdom says gay saunas are dead on Monday afternoons and the last review of this joint was 3 months ago.

But then, this isn't a conventional blog.............

Hunter Sauna - The Cult of the Lovelight

English speaking GAM twinks on duty were politely smiling when FuelMix fronted up. He was offered a choice of 3 neon glowing bracelets:

  1. Blue - for Tops, worn on the left wrist;  or
  2. Green - for Bottoms, worn on the right wrist;  or
  3. Red - for Versatile, worn on the left wrist;

There were a handful of people already there, all 20- something GAMs, skinny to gym fit smoothies. They looked like college students.  We've written before that, like Galaxy, Hunter fills up quickly and once again, guys were coming in every few minutes. They ranged from skinny, to gym fit with the occasional more muscular jock twink showing up. It would help if they turned up the lighting in the Locker Area. But we understand why they didn't. As soon as a customer comes in, he'll either be wearing the bracelet or waving it around before he changes.  Other customers can see straight away, whether it's gonna be a magnetic attraction in the Dark Room where opposite bracelets attract, or whether one hot bottom is gonna be repelled by another hot bottom.

We've also said that Hunter's Dark Area is pretty dark and that's where these neon glowing bracelets come in handy.  We like the bracelet idea. It's a neon twist on the Hanky Code and more saunas in town should take up the idea.  It allows the leveraging of time and attention - although it won't stop a customer from ogling a similarly braceletted hottie with pangs of regret.

There's no shortage of attitude in Hunter and we've commented before that it can take a while to get action.  The trick is not to be bothered by it and in fact, not to go looking for it, but rather to simply chill and go with the flow. Our view is that these stupid chink twinks are practicing their attitude - they're still finding their way around Faggotry now that they're just old enough not to have a note from Mom pinned on them.

There are 2 things that stand out in Hunter.  One is the steady stream of peeps coming through the door. The other is barely legal, chain smoking chink twinks shrouded in a nicotine mist looking like proxies of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.  Presumably they feel all grown up.  Sooner rather than later, these same twinks will be fronting up for Botox injections to manage crows feet and wrinkles.  We were surprised to observe several chink twinks with a nasty smoker's cough.  At THAT age........???!!!

In an earlier post entitled, Nigga Fag's Rage, we recorded how whites in the saunas of Western Fagland turned off the private room lights when the nigga approached and flipped them back on again when he'd gone. It was their way of rejecting him.  In Hunter, there's a similar tactic employed in the Dark Room. If an "undesirable" shuffles your way whilst your propped up against the wall, simply put your hand with the bracelet behind your back and it effectively switches off your lovelight.............pathetic huh..........? But then, attitude knows no bounds.  

You get to keep your lovelight when you leave. It's a great experiment wearing it on the street in the evenings. You'll get knowing glances from those who know.........It doesn't work so well on the MTR where the florescent lights in the carriages kill your glow. But we wouldn't be surprised if GAMs took to the lovelights as an evening fashion accessory here in Very Rich Megacity. Tons of neon in the city........a little neon on the body proclaiming which way is "In".

We can tell you that there was no shortage of goodlooking, gym fit to muscular GAMs that showed up that Monday afternoon. They're in their 20s and 30s. No chubs were spotted and neither did we see any chubs on our earlier visit 3 months ago on a Friday evening.

We can definitively tell you that the Hunter guys are also the ones who show up at Hutong with its apparently notorious door policy.  How do we know........? We asked them.  They told us.

We can also definitively tell you that foreigners DO show up at Hunter even on a Monday afternoon, early evening.  How do we know........? We saw them.  3 gym fit white guys in their 20s and 2 gym fit brown guys in their 20s.  They'd obviously been there before and they knew their way around.

After being ignored for a while, FuelMix got action with 3 gym fit college GAMs so no complaints there.

Again, we inform you that there is attitude there and a potentially long wait before you might get some interest. The twinks will shrink behind their attitude.  Some people prefer a gentler approach.......

FuelMix doesn't.  He's cocky and brazen. He got one cute muscled college GAM by tripping him in the corridor, then helping him up.........

On the 2 occasions that FuelMix showed up at Hunter, he left quite satisfied. This time, he was there between 4:30pm and 7:45pm. Unlike Alexander, this place has not (yet) been infested by Mainland Chinese.  These 20 and 30 something GAMs are local guys from Very Rich Megacity.

Check it out and let us know.

Hunter Sauna 11

10th Floor Ko's House

MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit A, then Exit A1


Tel: 2138 8678
Staff speak English on the phone 

Opening Hours:

Friday nites - 3pm to overnite
Saturday - all day to overnite
Sunday - 3pm to 3am

The Clientele

Just as Galaxy sucks in the Fugly older oriental (and if you've been, you'll know just how FUGLY....), Hunter Sauna is the honeypot that sucks in the Young Oriental Twink. They just keep coming through the door, 2 or 3 at a time. Make no mistake about it.  This place is popular.

It's obvious that they're paying way less than what FuelMix paid.  We suspect they're paying about 50 bucks or less. And these GAM twinks are young - and we do mean YOUNG -  as in barely legal, who only recently stopped carrying a note from their Mom. It's as if Hunter is their first dip into the gay gene pool.  The Twink's biggest asset appears to be his underwear from Abercrombie and Fitch at HK$148.00 (last time we checked that store).

Hunter opens from 3pm daily.  On a Friday evening, we saw 2 distinct types of  Young Oriental Twinks. Those that come in earlier and those who appeared later.

The earlier arrivals were young,  incredibly skinny and incredibly ugly. They'd brought their attitude in with them and were still perfecting Stand And Model.

Later in the evening, the Young Oriental Twinks could be described as "slim fit". In other words, they had a little more meat on them.

But.....there was also a third category that started to appear around 7:30pm.  These were gym fit to muscular  local GAMs in their mid 20s to late 30s.  Some of them had interesting bodies but as usual, there was a ton of attitude.

As the only foreigner there, FuelMix was initially given the cold shoulder by all 3 categories, notwithstanding that they'd come up to him in the Dark Room (where nobody could see), touch him and say, "very nice body". Then they'd flee down the corridor when another sign of life appeared.  It was extremely frustrating and hard to tell whether it was shyness, attitude or racism - or all three. In fact, FuelMix was ignored for over 2 hours.

It wasn't until the more muscular GAMs appeared that FuelMix got attention - 3 times to be exact, including a hot group display, reminiscent of the now defunct Towel Club.  It was pretty mindblowing but hard to tell whether it was because FuelMix was considered hot, or just a novelty.  And some of the more muscular GAMs spoke good English and confessed they were thrilled to see a (hot) foreigner.  Go figure.


Pros

  • Easy to get to
  • Very popular with Young Oriental Twinks 
  • Very clean
  • Much improved Dark Area
  • Adequate private rooms
  • Good choice of piped music played at comfortable volume
  • Some muscular types show up
  • Some GAM muscular types MAY be friendly to foreigners


Cons
  • Small lift
  • Tons of attitude
  • Towel Scam - if you wanna replace the big towel, they charge 10 bucks....!! Otherwise, ask for the free small towel refills
  • Might take hours to get attention 
  • Not really  sure how the customers handle foreigners.


The Verdict

We confess that we were pleasantly surprised to get multiple attention. But it fuckin' took forever. The Front Desk staff were certainly polite and pleasant and FuelMix was let in without fuss. We had earlier heard rumours of "Hutongism", but the reality is, we don't know.  

What we can say for sure, is that there were NO fatties, bears, chubs or whites during our stint.  The preferred clientele ranges from really skinny to gym muscle local Chinese. We didn't see Mainland Chinese infestation.

(With the exception of the odd generic white) that's not much different to the clientele that shows up at Big Top - and we've written in the Big Top reviews, that it can take ages to get attention there too. Our suspicion is that Big Top would attract a larger number of muscular guys.


 Would FuelMix Go Back?

He might............

Hunter Sauna 10

10th Floor Ko's House
577 Nathan Road
Yau Ma Tei
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit A, then Exit A1


Tel: 2138 8678
Staff speak English on the phone 

Opening Hours:
Monday - Thursday 3pm to 3am
Friday nites - 3pm to overnite
Saturday - all day to overnite
Sunday - 3pm to 3am

Web: http://www.huntersauna.com.hk/ 


A few years ago, after his initial detailed review of Hunter, FuelMix said he had no incentive to go back, suspecting amongst other things, a racist attitude towards foreigners and silly attitude.

Recently, FuelMix was hearing stuff about Hunter from his GAM Boundless Informants (y'all know by now where THAT term comes from.....). It was becoming hard to separate facts from gossip, spite and rumour. FuelMix realized he would have to show up at Hunter and accurately set out his observations and experiences by way of an update.

So on a Friday evening in pouring rain, about 6pm, FuelMix fronted up at Hunter. The chunky guy at the desk was friendly, spoke good English, smiled at FuelMix and pointed to the sign that said the entry fee was HK$148.00.  He handed over keys and a large white towel with the word "Hunter" printed on it.

There's also a sign in Chinese with the reference to HK$50.00. That appears to apply to certain age groups.

Layout, Ambience and Decor

1.  The Lounge -
That's the first thing to enter on pushing back the curtains.  It's a square shaped room with a brown colour scheme and a brown bare wooden floor.  It's uncluttered and functional but dominated by an enormous flat screen TV with a fruit basket and magazines directly underneath. At the other end of the lounge are sofas, a water cooler, 2 computer stations and a toilet.

2.  The Locker Room
Adjacent to the Lounge is the Locker Room with a vinyl bench in the middle.  The lockers are clean and come in 2 main sizes:
(a) sort of adequate; and
(b) dinky;

There's also a small vanity counter with a sink, mouthwash, mirror, tissues.

The lighting in the Locker Room is useless - it's actually lit by the glare of the porn screen above the entrance to the corridor leading to the showers, dry sauna, toilets and dark room.

3.  The Showers
The shower area has been remodeled since the last review. The glass tiled wall and the fish tank have gone. It's been replaced by a tiled lattice partition. The showers appear more spacious and there's a large window that overlooks Nathan Road. The private shower-with-a-buddy alcove in black tiles remains.

Water pressure is adequate but the temperature could be hotter.  To their credit, the flooring in the showers is non-slip and dries pretty quickly. There's also a dehumidifier in the vicinity to help.

4.  Dry Sauna
Again, this low-ceiling room is dominated by a large glaring flat screen TV. It was playing some Bruce Willis action shit with Chinese subtitles. Apparently it's an infra red sauna.  It wasn't until much later that the infra-red bit was actually switched on, but in the meantime it was a pleasantly warm place to dry off in the shower - if a customer could bear Bruce Willis, which this one couldn't.

5.  Toilets
2 exposed urinals, inexplicably covered.  Previously they allowed passing foot traffic a quick pee(k). The enclosed toilet was OK, but the lighting could be better.

6.  The Dark Area
This is where the major renovation changes have occurred. Let's be perfectly clear. This has got to rank as one of THE darkest Dark Areas in the gay saunas in Very Rich Megacity. Think Black On Black On Black. Considering that it had been about 4 years since FuelMix had last hit Hunter, pushing back the curtain and stepping in was a major shock that required a few moments of orientation. The blackness was overwhelming.

Once the eyes had adjusted, it was evident that the Dark Area layout was functional and quite intelligent:

(a)  Functional - a mixture of medium-width corridors, narrow corridors to brush against people and open spaces in which to congregate or gawk.  There are about 10 private rooms of average size. Each one of them has default floor level lighting. When you step into the room and slide the wooden door closed, it automatically activates a brighter light in the room. Each room has the usual - condom, lubes and paper towels - but sadly, doesn't have mirrors, which it really should.

b)  Intelligent - the corridor layout draws people in towards the very end of the dark room where there is a large mirrored open space with a vinyl mattress for group fun or lounging. It also lit by the glare of a porn screen.  There are 2 alcoves there as well.  Be warned - the air conditioning right at the end of the Dark Area is pretty harsh.
There's also another long corridor on the left hand side of the Dark Area which is a dead end lit by a very small porn screen.

We're hearing from our friendly GAMs on the street, that Hunter has tried "a Hutong" policy i.e. turning people away on the basis that the place "is full".

We're not sure whether this "Hutongism" is based on age, race or looks or whether there might be a perfectly innocent explanation. Either way, we'd like an updated review of this place.

White Noise 2 Update

FuelMix has updated the post White Noise 2.  Based on reader feedback, QQ Fitness in Wanchai has been added to the list of those gay saunas where whites are known to show. 


Saturday, September 03, 2011

White Noise 2

From a reader: 

I read your post White Noise 1 and you pretty much nailed it.  I guess the next question is which gay saunas in HK would you say whites would be more welcome in – other than Central Escalator?

FuelMix says:

Any rankings are purely subjective and could change next week, given how fickle gay sauna customers are.  For the record, descriptions of "White Friendly" or "Not White Friendly" are based on observing both management and clientele.  It's completely unscientific.  So..... for what it’s worth:

1.  Blatantly White
Central Escalator – SoHo Central

2.  Very White Friendly
Alexander – Mong Kok

3.  Whites Known To Show
ABC – Tsim Sha Tsui
Action – Causeway Bay
Colony – Prince Edward
Galaxy – Tsim Sha Tsui
Ni chome – Tsim Sha Tsui

4.  Whites Rumoured To Show
Chaps – North Point
Follow Me – SoHo Central

5.  White Friendly But Whites Don’t Show
KK Fitness – Jordan
Big Top * – Mong Kok
Club Houzz * – Mong Kok
* as at 3 September 2011, these are the 2 newest gay saunas in town, so there is certainly potential for whites to show up there

6.  Not White Friendly
Hunter – Yau Ma Tei
My Way Platinum – Wanchai
QQ Fitness – Wanchai
Rainbow - Jordan

7.  Unclear/Misleading/ Ambiguous  On Whites
Double – Mong Kok
Gateway – Wanchai

FuelMix has a feeling this post is destined to become a classic..........

Open 24 hours

If the fascinated reader has read the posts, Hunter 4 and Hunter 5, the comments below will fall into context.


The Clientele

This place is Ground Zero for the 20-something chink fags – or at least an extremely popular venue for them. Exactly why is unclear but on several occasions around town, FuelMix heard chink fags talk that Double is losing its clientele. Bear in mind that in the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok areas there are 4 saunas that attract the 20-somethings: Hunter, Double, Alexander and 0101. (FuelMix hears that 0101 specifically markets itself to twinks and early 20s with a HK$50 entrance fee). Fags are also notoriously fickle when it comes to loyalty to any establishment (or person for that matter).

Before getting too excited at the prospect of hot messy sex with sperm-filled 20 somethings, let’s put a few things on the record based on the observations of a Friday nite from 9:30pm onwards:

The initial impression was one of gloomy silence and constant surveillance by the clientele. This was a different feeling to the sex-filled ogling, eye contact and relentless following of a hottie to be expected in other saunas. In Hunter, it felt like towel-draped espionage.

It starts from the moment of entry. Crossing the lounge, all eyes are on the newly arrived fag as he heads to the Locker Room. Even while changing, there is an ever-so-Oriental method of spying that averts all eye contact, puts on a scowl, clucks “Tsk, Tsk” then fades away to report on hotness and ethnicity to every other chink in the joint. That’s the only attempt at sauna camaraderie, by the way.

There was a steady stream of 20-something chinks ringing the doorbell. The place was filling up. Some were definitely muscled, most were skinny and ugly, some were blimps. The silence was so thick it could be cut with a knife. The only screams were that coming from the Jap porn right at the end of the Dark Room.

Given the potential play areas (the infra-red sauna, the large shower area, the private lockable shower, the watch-me-while-I-piss urinals), the utter absence of spontaneous action cried out for a Party Animal (say…..like FuelMix) who could get the balls rolling. Alas, it was not to be. The chinks were too busy perfecting their attitude and showing their best profile, desperately avoiding eye contact with FuelMix and each other.

At one point, entering the Dark Room, FuelMix counted 35 chinks neatly lined up against the walls in total silence (punctuated only by the screams of Jap porn). Every one of the play rooms was empty, and the only motion was that of other chinks who streamed in, obsessively navigating to avoid touching or bumping into the pre-arranged 35. They would have been better off renting out all those play rooms to the homeless.

Think about it………..35 chinks lined up and what wuz happening????

Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada.

And nothing was goin’ on in the potential play areas either.

Fuck……….forget about FuelMix, these chinks couldn’t even even get it on with each other – and that’s including the muscle boys. Talk about paid impotency.

Hunter is for chinks. There was a distinct anti-foreign vibe quaintly reminiscent of the French or the simmering British ultra right wing. If, like FuelMix, you have a gorgeously muscled bod, sharp features and speak Mandarin, the anti-foreign attitude comes over 3 times as strong.

Maybe the chinks felt threatened. Maybe they felt that FuelMix should only go to those saunas where those chinks degrade themselves with gwailos and other foreigners. Or maybe this place is stuffed with highly closeted attitudinal chinks who stand there like zombies in a vain attempt to protect this place as "their turf".


Pros

  • None.
Cons
  • 10th Floor of an 11 storey, single elevator , potential fire trap of a building. FuelMix prefers his saunas on much lower floors or in walk-ups. He might lose his shirt, but he won’t lose his street smarts.
  • Wasted action potential.
  • No steam room or Jacuzzi.
  • Major inter-chink attitude.
  • Major anti-foreign attitude.
  • Massively annoying dry sauna room.
  • Massive stand and model.
  • Massive amounts of scowl and pout.
  • No lube dispenser in play rooms.
  • Silence of the Lambs.

Would FuelMix Go Back?

For what….?

Hunter 5

10th Floor Ko's House
577 Nathan Road
Yau Ma Tei
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit A, then Exit A1

Open 24 hours
Tel: 2138 8678
Web: http://www.huntersauna.com.hk/

Hunter bills itself as the most luxurious sauna in Very Rich Megacity. Well……let’s see………….


The Lounge

The Lounge is a decent sized square room with mirrors on one side and 2 computers on the other. Underneath the large flat screen TV is a shelf with bananas, mixed nuts and some freebie gay stuff. The colour scheme is dark brown. Nothing particularly luxurious there.

The fags sit motionless and silent on the black sofa eyeing everybody who comes in. A customer has to cross the Lounge before entering the Locker Area.


The Locker Area

Also in dark brown with a black leather bench. The lockers are a good size, with a shoe rack and 2 towels with “HUNTER” printed on them. Luxurious?

The locker area is adequately lit with a large white sink and a largish mirror. Luxurious………??? Hardly. Above the sink is another flat screen TV playing Jap porn.

There’s a regular stream of people passing through the Lounge and the Locker Area. Expect to be stared at while they simultaneously fixate on the Jap porn. Unlike the fictional bar, “Cheers”, nobody knows your name and they’re not particularly glad you came. Remember that line fags. FuelMix has a lot more to say on the clientele of Hunter.


The Dry Sauna

A corridor off the Lockers leads to the Wet Area, the focal point of which is (ironically) the Dry Sauna. This is a large-ish low ceiling cabin with continuous benches on 3 sides. It’s apparently heated by some infra-red technology. If so, the heat was inadequate.

There’s yet another large ludicrously bright flat screen TV in the Dry Sauna. So bright, that it illuminates each and every fag in there with an eerie bluish glow. In addition there are multi-coloured lights in the ceiling.

There were stacks of people in the premises (more on that later). The Dry Sauna is so garishly lit that a fag would feel worse than a deer in the headlights, about to be mowed down in a disco. People sat in there, looking grim. FuelMix didn’t spot any action goin’ on there.

Did FuelMix say “grim”? Remember that word too, fags, coz that’s gonna pop up again when FuelMix talks about the clientele.


The Showers

Next to the Dry Sauna are the showers, a large interesting well-lit area, part of which is shielded behind a wooden trellis wall with fake plastic ivy. MMMMmmmm, that’s really luxurious….. The shower area is in black and white, with tinted mirrors and more multi-coloured lights that blink intermittently. There’s also a private shower area behind a black door, for the fag and his buddies. The showers had good water pressure and plenty of space to play........if fags were so inclined.  The shower area was also good place to check people out and theoretically, had play potential. But did it? Read what FuelMix has to say about the clientele.

For some obscure reason, there's also a wall mounted globular aquarium in the shower area with a couple of fisheys...... It seemed a bit forlorn until FuelMix realized that a customer might spend a lot of his time staring at that..............why would that be.........??  Well fags, at some point you're just gonna have to read what FuelMix says about the clientele..........


The Toilets

Adjacent to the Dry Sauna is another corridor, that leads to the toilets and then through a curtain, into the Dark Area.

The colour scheme in the toilets is black and white. There is one private toilet behind a door complete with sink, mirror and vanity. Sort of hotel room style. The trendy shaped urinals are exposed to the public so fags can stand at the urinal and piss in full view of passing fags. Luxurious?? Well, they were clean.

Theoretically, a toilet layout that allows the public viewing of fags, should have potential. But did it? Again, wait for FuelMix’s comments on the clientele.


The Dark Area

Push through the curtains and step in. It might be pitch dark, or it might not, depending on whether the fags turn on some lights of the many private rooms that line the walls.

The main corridor in the Dark Area goes like this: Walk straight, turn Right, turn Left, Walk straight to the end and there’ll be a Jack Off Room with another massively lit flat screen showing loud Jap porn.

Just before reaching the Jack Off Room, there’s another Dark Room on the Left (call it Dark Room Left) with a corridor that circles the room. In the centre of Dark Room Left is a smaller partitioned empty play space. It’s supposed to be a cruising and play area. For some obscure reason, it has a TINY flat screen TV showing porn and appears to be the only place to pick up lube packets.

The Private Rooms

They are large with black vinyl floor mattresses,  black vinyl bolster pillows and sliding wooden doors that lock. The lighting in the room is extremely dim and not adjustable. There were no mirrors, no paper towel dispenser, just condoms. Not really user friendly and quite disappointing.  Luxurious? Nope.  At least the vinyl was ripped, like in some other saunas FuelMix has reviewed in this blog.

And at the time, (Friday evening, just after 9:30pm) each and every one of those rooms was empty.  Why would that be? What is it about Hunter's clientele...........???


Exactly what does FuelMix say about the clientele in this joint? Read Hunter 6.

Hunter 4

10th Floor Ko's House
577 Nathan Road
Yau Ma Tei
Kowloon
Hong Kong
MTR: Yau Ma Tei Station, Exit A, then Exit A1

Open 24 hours
Tel: 2138 8678
Web: http://www.huntersauna.com.hk/

This is in the heart of Yau Ma Tei, another thoroughly local area of Very Rich Megacity, with a colourful history of triads, gang rapes, prostitution, brothels and karaoke bars.  Back in the day, most turf wars between the triads were settled in the karaoke bars. They figured it was less messy to sing one's throat out, than slit it.

The buildings are old and non-descript. Many are massive "mansion" style blocks built in the early 1950s.  Like its neigbour Mong Kok, the place is festooned with neon signs, local eateries, shops.  Nathan Road slices through Yau Ma Tei on its way down toward Tsim Sha Tsui.  Yau Ma Tei is not touristy, but a few intrepid ones can be found gawking, since there are hotels further south along Nathan Road, towards Jordan MTR Station.

Getting There

Take the MTR to Yau Ma Tei Station. Take Exit A and then Exit A1.


Exit A1 emerges on Pitt Street. Do an IMMEDIATE U TURN to face Nathan Road. Walk a few paces to join Nathan Road AND STAND THERE. There’s a plethora of street signage. Scan the landscape looking for signs like Burger King and KFC across the street from you.

Now, FACE LEFT and start walking North up Nathan Road. There’s a huge mixture of local shops on your Left, so take it all in while strolling along.

The first cross street is Hamilton Street. Cross it and keep walking straight along Nathan Road. More unremarkable shops on your Left – but keep your eyes peeled whilst approaching the next street corner.

This is the intersection of Nathan Road and Dundas Street. On the corner is a Chnese shop called “Tung Fong Hung” in fancy letters. That is 577 Nathan Road – but the entrance to the building, known as Ko’s House - is around the corner on Dundas Street.

Getting Up There

The entrance to Ko’s House is tiny, so tiny that there may even be a line of people on the sidewalk waiting to get in. Push the transparent glass door to climb the narrow flight of stairs that leads to a TINY Mezzanine level with a single antiquated elevator dating from the 1950s.

The initial impression is one of incredulity. Why would anyone put a gay sauna on the 10th Floor of an 11 storey building when several floors are low budget coffee shops catering to mainly str8, giggling 20 somethings?

Hint: the 20-somethings is the first clue to Hunter's clientele.

Get to the 10th Floor and turn RIGHT. Walk towards the illuminated “HUNTER” sign. The entrance is on the RIGHT. Ring the doorbell, get buzzed in.

There might be a shirtless 20-something chink in gym shorts on duty. Pay coin of HK$138.00. As a resident of Very Rich Megacity he’ll offer a stamp card: visit 5 times and the 6th visit is free. He might also give a coupon for HK38.00 entry after 11pm.

Push through the curtains and enter.

Hunter 3

From a reader who answered FuelMix's questions in Hunter 2 about Hunter gay sauna:


1. What's their address? Everything's in Chinese on their website.

It's the black building on the corner of Nathan and Dundas, above the Chinese Medicine Shop Dong Feng Hong. 10/f I think.


2. Is the place just for chinks or can anyone go?

I didn't see any non-Asians there when I visited.

3. Price?

Went in the week when they had the $68 promotion, but am not tempted to go back.

4. Decor?

It's Ok by HK standard but wouldn't say it's execptional. Clean due to its newness. Metallic toilet tiles lines the wet, open area. Open shower but there is a cubicle for those who doesn't want people to see them washing their cracks. A fish tank with 2 small fish mounted on the wall of the wet area; according to some comments in the gayhk forum some punters seem to be (easily) pleased with such a peculiar design logic.

Rooms with the usual vinyl mattress and sliding doors, nothing to scream about.

Reception / sitting out area with large bright TV and a fruit bowl with bananas and nuts. mmm.

Internet access on 2 LCD monitors mounted way too high. Everyone can see your emails and also their internet browser is set to autofill. so your bf may find out you've been checking email there, some time later.


5. Facilities?

only one large, brighly lit (by a hugh porn TV) infrared sauna. really quite a waste of space. No steam, no plunge pool. Actually rather poor layout as one feels you don't have too many places to park yourself.

One pitch dark room at the back - again too dark.

6. What kind of crowd?

Nothing too exciting, nothing too offensive, at least during my short stay.

7. Would you go there again?

No - can get bored standing in the corridor.

FuelMix says: Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. If anyone else has any input on this or any other gay sauna reviewed in the blog, send it along and FuelMix will publish it.

Hunter 2

Here is the comment on Hunter gay sauna from the reader who didn't get past the Front Desk at Double (see the previous post):

"i subsequently went to Hunter, althought it was not too busy even it was a sat evening, but i did have fun with a few very cute and muscular guys there.. the place is very clean and the staff members there are very nice.. the only complaint i have is the smoking area..and what's with the constant banana eating?"

2. Is the place just for chinks or can anyone go?
3. Price?
4. Decor?
5. Facilities?
6. What kind of crowd?

Enquiring minds worldwide want to know.

This gay sauna apparently opened 2 weeks ago.

The odd thing about their website is that they use western looking models but everything else is in Chinese, including their address, prices, theme nites etc.

OK, FuelMix speaks the language very well, but is more than slightly suspicious of what's going on here.

If it's an attempt to run a "member's club" based on ethnicity, some chink fag can go and check out the joint and sing here.

Something about that ad just makes FuelMix really suspicious.
