Jjimjilbang and public bath etiquette (찜질방)

A jjimjilbang is a Korean bathhouse with gender-separated baths and a shared area of heated rooms. Etiquette - Check the facility's current hours, last admission, prices and any age rules before you go. - Take off your shoes at the marked line and put them in the shoe locker; staff give you a key or wristband. - In the changing room, store your clothes, valuables and phone in your locker. - Shower and wash thoroughly before getting into any shared bath. Keep towels and hair out of the water. - Wear the clothes the facility gives you in the shared jjimjil area. - Use hot rooms in short sessions, drink water, and leave at once if you feel unwell. - Never take photos in changing or bathing areas.
