Seoul & Jeju Day 11: Siloam Sauna, Home sweet home

Day 11  
Siloam Sauna > Home sweet home

Body aching after CHIONG-ing for 10 days! Let's get ourselves a retreat before heading back to Singapore. The Koerean Sauna, Jjimhilbang. Besides being a sauna, Jjimjilbang is one of the cheapest and most unique Korean place to sleepover. There are primarily used by families escaping/outing, travelers who couldn't find a place to stay or teenagers having a safe night out together. After reading some reviews online, we headed to Siloam Sauna, which have plenty of good comments. 

You won't have the chance to get lost! Siloam Sauna is so popular that almost all the locals know it! Just bring along a picture of Siloam Sauna and I am sure that friendly Koreans will lead you there!

Subway: Seoul Station Exit 1 or Chungjeongno Station Exit 5




Admission fee is 10,000 won during the day and 13,000 won during the night. Siloam has 5 levels.




First floor are gender segregated locker rooms and where place all your belonging in the lockers. I got a culture shock initially, naked ajummas were everywhere... But not to worry, no one will bother you because everyone is concentrating doing their own stuff. For hygiene purpose, each and everyone are required to bath before entering to pools. The pools sues natural Germanium water from 300m that has an excellent water quality. There have a few pools with different medication purpose (different temperature) to choose from. The sauna room temperature is so high, I almost fainted inside after 5 minutes. Quickly, I ran out and submerge myself into the ice water pool...



Second floor is a resting area where you can rest in different medication rooms, watch TV. For second level or above, it is unisex. Everybody is required to wear a orange pajamas. There is a Korean restaurant where you can take your lunch or dinner too. Hubby was so excited, describing his experience with the sauna pool... (>.<)



Third floor is an entertainment room where they have all sorts of entertainment facilities such as karaoke, games, mini gym etc. There are certain charges for using their entertainment facilities.

Fourth floor is the Fomentation rooms. These rooms offer different themes with therapeutic purpose. Me and Jeff chosen the wooden charcoal room which offered purifying and oxygenating properties. We had a good half and hour sleep in this soothing environment.

Fifth floor is a sleeping area offerring more than 300 bunk beds for overstay. Rooms are divided by gender.

Overall, we have a great 3-4 hours in Siloam Sauna! Very refreshing! Hubby claimed that his body aches were soothen. *好神奇* A place not to be missed when you are in Seoul!




This more or less wrap up our whole trip to Seoul & Jeju. *Sob sob*
