Looking for SDTs in Taipei City.
Iām not sure if there are any left. I think all the ones that opened up over the years eventually close.
Doesnāt seem like something the locals would enjoy. People go camping and set up flood lights while shouting at each other. Quiet and darkness seem to make them uncomfortable.
Last time was funny. One person brought out the saxophone with backup track, and needed the practice. Another person in the same group was playing scales on a different instrument, about 20 feet away. A third person turned on the news on their digital projector with speakers (nice screen, though).
This was simultaneously coming from the same group of people, who had to yell at each other to be heard over the din.
No flood lights, though
I could use some sensory deprivation in Taiwan tooā¦ Iām getting sensory overloaded in Taipei 24/7 with noise just going on everywhere. But Iām the minority hereā¦
Previous thread, possibly worth merging:
You have to be very careful with that abbreviation.
Indeed. It was a bit of a shock for me to see someone look for STDs
Feel the burn! 
If I remember correctly one of the issues with the business previously promoted on here was how often they did, or as it turned out didnāt, change out the water in the tanks. Paying to lie in someone elses salty water is presumably a fairly niche marketā¦
Iām sorry but I read it as this at firstā¦ 
I think that would be pretty useless for me as i have some mild tinnitusā¦ probably caused from living here. So all i would be able to hear is ringing.
Anyway meditation does it for me.
Iām curious to try one here as well. I dug a bit and there seems to be a sensory deprivation Spa active in Taipei as of last year, with active website:https://gardenoflightwellness.com/

Great find! Just check how they clean the water.
According to Google, these tanks only need the water changed after 1000 uses - but the water does need to be sanitized and filtered after every use.
Reporting on my experience with a Sensory Deprivation Tank in Taipei here - I reached out and got a session, itās on the more upscale range but as far as I could tell itās also the only one currently operating in Taipei (could be wrong / flag if other places!).
I believe the Intro session is ~2700 with the regular sessions around $3300.
While the āFloatingā is only 60 minutes, youāre effectively booking a 2-3hr experience involving explanation and guidance with tea, crackers and such before, and follow-ons afterwards.
The experience was great, the owner (Frida) speaks fluent English and was helpful, patient and soothing. I needed a break and I felt like I stepped out in a zen place, outside of time and Taipei. I guess the closest thing I can think of are those newage shops in California, or those crystals places in Utah or ā¦ well, it felt like it was āout thereā and that itself was nice.
āFloatingā: I was expecting something like a pod ala Matrix or a tanning salon somehow, but it was more like a mini-room, like an oversized capsule hotel that closes. It had about 40-60cm of buoyant water (high salt concentration, think red-sea): you canāt sink in there, so you just lay and rest. The water is filtered and purified after every session, and was fine/clean. The experience was great, I may have fallen asleep, the noises were far away and the light was not bothering me (you can have a small diffuse light if you choose, but I had turned it off).
I invite you to check it out, because itās very different and was refreshing/renewing for me. Bring your good vibes, get re-sourceād. Very unique / will go again.
Wait, what? In taiwan? Iād expect that in a country whose savages wear their shoes indoors, but not here 
Thanks for the report! Kinda pricey but a unique service
Does your head naturally stay afloat?
Also doesnāt water go in your ears?
Bro, apparently the water came out of 999 peoples nasty ass ears before you started sucking that water inā¦ thatās where my priorities would lie. I always loved a good float tank when I tried them a while ago, now I am thoroughly disgusted. I am even questioning my hotspring choices now 
Out of a thousand people Iād bet someone has had a wank.
yes, head float and water goes in your ears. Like in a swimming pool. I saw some earplugs but decided (and was advised) against it either way.
All very comfortable.
