I will go to Samya, will take the train from Amsterdam to Cologne in the morning, check out Cologne a little during the day and hit Samya that night. Then I have to head to Paris the next morning. Will one night at Samya do it for me or will I regret not staying longer? (This is not exclusively a hobby trip, mostly I am sightseeing- never been to Europe) Anything good to see in Cologne as far as tourist stuff?
I'll be in Paris and Amsterdam soon and was considering making Cologne part of the itinerary, maybe hit Samya up before heading back to Paris to fly home. My question is, is it worth it? I am a bit pinched for time so it would be easier to just not go to Cologne. What can I get at an FKK that I can't at one of the clubs in Amsterdam?
Depends on you mode of transport. GT is closer and since it is a day club, it is doable from Amsterdam in a single day (drive there in the morning and back in the evening). If you are dependent on public transportion, Samya or Livingroom are good options (after taking an ICE from amsterdam to Cologne or Duesseldorf). The dutch clubs can't compare at all; both what price and service is concerned. There are plenty of Dutch guys from the Amsterdam region, who go to germany a few times a month for mongering purposes. I personally have to travel a similar distance and monger exclusively in Germany.

I was very disappointed in Yin Yang. The location on the lake with all the trees is very scenic, but the ladies were a real let down - older, heavier, less attractive. The cafe there seems to be trying, with a cooking surface where you can cook your own choice of meat. In effect, I paid 60 euros to have dinner and left. No return for me.
You can climb the 900 stairs to the top and get a good view.
I don't remember anything else since it was 25 years ago.
Is it worth it? YES.
It is truly like nothing else you have ever experienced.
What can you get there that you can't get in Amserdam? A LOT.
The quality and variety of women is much better than anything you will see in the RLD, Brothels, or Prive in Amsterdam. The length and quality of the experience is much better and you can hang out in a nice club with food and drinks for a few hours between sessions. The best analogy would be that Amsterdam is "fast food" while FKK clubs are a smorgasbord at a 5 star restaurant. Check it out and you will understand.
You can get to the Dusseldorf clubs from Amsterdam by train cab combo in about 2-3 hours. I have made the trip down from there to Golden Time twice. Catch the train from central station to Venlo, a small Dutch town at the border with Germany. You'll find cabs outside the station and Golden Time is a 10 min / 20 Euro cab ride away. If you leave Amsterdam by 10 AM, you can be in the club by 1 PM, leave around 7, and be back to your hotel by 10 PM or so. You can also rent a car and save an hour or so, but I've always found the train / cab combo is easiest. Living Room can also be accessed eaily by train (there is a station about 300 km from the club). Villa Verttigo and Acapulco are also accessible, but the trip is a bit more complicated.
Cologne is about an hour farther away from Amsterdam. Samya is a good club, but I've had better luck at Golden Time and Acapulco recently (see post below). If you're based in Amsterdam, the Dusseldorf area clubs are a better option.
Happy hunting!
