“My nether regions got a fine roasting…My boobs also got vigorous skin shuckings.” Well, this is certainly your most intimate post on this site; you managed to mention your breasts and your vagina all in one article! Not bad, sister!

In reply to Christine Ka'aloa. That's actually a pretty juicy photo of you in the sauna! Too bad we can't see more "behind-the-scenes" photos. C'mon, Christine, dare to bare!

@Ari: Oops on the delayed response. That’s right, I thought you commented on that post as I initially responded also. I’ll definitely have to try that outdoor area– now you’ve got me a bit inspired to return there!

Christine – Yep I stayed the night a Siloam once (think I also commented on your post about that too, lol!).

If you (or any readers here) ever go to Dragon Hill again, when you go in the women’s shower room, there’s a door at the far end, just beyond the large cold tub, near the two steam rooms. That’s the door to the ladies’ outdoor (nude) area. It’s got a couple of hot tubs and a ‘wading’ pool, and it’s never very busy. Very relaxing on a cold day! 🙂

@Ari: Asked the ajumma if she could take a photo of us, but I was a little timid to carry my DSLR as it’s right nxt to the bathing area. I only saw one outdoor pool/jacuzzi area on the first floor. There was a women’s ‘outdoor’ bathing pool?

Seeing as you’re in Seoul, definitely try Siloam Spa (https://grrrltraveler.com/sightseeing/beauty-celebrity-lifestyle/siloam-spa/) when you get the chance! Much better sleeping area; you pretty much get an individual bed if you want.

Hahaha I tried the vaginal steam thing at Dragon Hill last year – soooo bizarre! You’ve summed up the whole jjimjilbang experience really well, especially with all the pics – how on earth did you manage to get photos taken even in the hip-bath room?!

I never tried any of the ‘spa packages’ at Dragon Hill, but as it’s really just a big jjimjilbang and not a dedicated luxury spa, I imagine it’s not the best place to spend your money on that kind of thing. Also, I know what you mean about limited sleeping areas! Always way too packed.

However, Dragon Hill remains my favourite jjimjilbang in Seoul, mainly because it’s just so big and has so much to do, and also I love the outdoor baths in the women’s area. It’s always full of foreigners from all different countries, so you don’t feel like you ‘stand out’ if you’re not Korean. Plus it was the first jjimjilbang I ever went to, so it has good memories for me. I would always recommend it 🙂

Thanks, Christine! I personally guarantee to anyone who’s considering it that it’s not nearly as bad as they might think 🙂

@Jenna: The German nude section is co-ed?! Whoa, THAT’s testing comfort zones; I’m in awe of you! I vaguely remember Baden-Baden and I didn’t know there was that kind of spa there. I think your experience is so interesting I’m going to drop your link in here in the case others want to check it out:

There’s a famous all-nude bath house in Germany called the Friedrichsbad that I posted about, and it’s one of the cheapest ways to spend four hours getting pampered in a spa. I’ve tried to convince people that the nudity part is not such a big deal, but now I’ll just direct them over to here to find out what it would REALLY be like to test their comfort zones!
