 |
|
| Hi! We're Ulsanites making our last pass through Seoul this Chuseok, and we need your suggestions for the best 24-hour sauna/jjimjilbang in town. We'd love to spend a night in something new, fancy, feature-packed or otherwise unique. Thanks in advance for your ideas! |

| There are a couple of deluxe jjimjilbangs in Myong-dong that cater to finicky Japanese tourists, so that would be one area to concentrate on if you're looking for a full-on experience. |

| The fabled huge sauna near olympic park is at Bangi station (exit 1?). It is nearby the 7-11 there. The name of it is Seoul Leisure (written in Korean of course). |

Can anyone confirm the exit at Bangi Stn for the big jjimjilbang there? Do they also provide towels and soap? I'm thinking of heading down there tomorrow.
Thanks! |

Are you a sauna newb?
Towels, soaps and shampoos are generally provided. Many bring their own toiletries along with them including slippers if you don't trust the fungi-laden ones available. |

I usually go to the one in Seongsu dong - but this sounds nice and is closer - can you provide directions? |

there's a tourist information booth right across from the CGV theater in Myeongdong. They'll hook you up with a map and directions. |
