Kuala Lumpur has a surprisingly large and active gay sauna scene. Or, it is perhaps not surprising at all, given the conservative approach to homosexuality that the country still maintains. Gay men in Kuala Lumpur rely greatly on saunas to meet other men for both cruising and conversation, so you are likely to meet a few locals during most trips to the sauna.
The largest and most popular gay saunas come with fully equipped gyms, fitness classes as well as mazes and dark rooms. By law, gay saunas in Kuala Lumpur are not allowed to provide condoms, lube, or safe sex advice of any kind. Always bring your own to be safe.
