Bathhouse Ballads

BJ Reviews

Reviews and info

I don’t intend this page to provide any more than brief information on my local amenities. I am too lazy to go further afield. Hence information, always changing and subjective by nature, is largely confined to Daegu and in particular, the Song-So area. When I use a facility I record basic details and perhaps some of my feelings towards the establishment. Remember, things change rapidly in Korea and even if an establishment remains around for any duration you can guarantee some features have changed.

I have provided a wikimapia link for most establishments.

If you are interested in the design of bathhouses I have a page with detailed plans that provides an easy means of comparison.

I notice on search results numerous inquiries into gay activity in bathhouse and jjimjilbangs, etc. I will add a note if I see anything but being useless at such behaviour and not even looking for it, my pages are not the place to look for such information.

Feel free to post any observations.

    hi nick,
    you have a refreshingly unique and culturally inquisitive blog. i am already a fan after only reading a few posts.

    i spoke to a friend recently about the idea for a jjimjilbang review site, so i was excited to see this page on your site – as limited as its scope may be. do you know of any similar resources for the jjimjilbangs and/or oncheons throughout korea that are either in english or korean?
