Explanation

Borrowed from English “sauna,” this is an everyday term used for facilities in hotels, gyms, and spas. Use อบซาวน่า for “take a sauna.” Here, อบ describes exposing the body to enclosed heat. Sauna rooms are counted with ห้อง: ห้องซาวน่า 2 ห้อง means “two sauna rooms.”

Usage

Use it when asking whether a hotel or gym has a sauna, locating one, describing spa facilities, or inviting someone to take a sauna.

Caution

Facilities often distinguish ซาวน่า, a relatively dry sauna, from ห้องอบไอน้ำ, a steam room. The word does not refer to bathing or soaking in hot water in general.
