Masaje soapy en Thonglor, Bangkok

Thonglor does soapy massage differently from the rest of Bangkok. There are no big bath house complexes here; every venue is a massage shop that also offers soapy sessions, and several list nuru as well. They are spread along Sukhumvit Soi 55 (Thong Lo) and its side lanes such as Soi Thong Lo 3 and Soi Thong Lo 9, with a few more across on Ekkamai (Soi 63) and Soi Ekkamai 12.

Most venue pins are close to Thong Lo BTS, a few are closer to Ekkamai BTS, and a couple are nearer the Phrom Phong end. The station pages rank venues by straight-line distance; they do not establish a walking circuit.

Late hours

Hours are the area's strongest point. Most shops open between ten and eleven in the morning. Several close at midnight, a few run until two in the morning, and one or two keep going until four or five. Some also offer outcall, and a handful have jacuzzi rooms.

Reviews on these venue pages lean positive about the rooms: newly renovated interiors, big clean rooms and a front desk that explains the options politely come up more than once. The complaints are about time and attention. Reviewers at different shops say a session ended well short of what they paid for, that a therapist was on her phone or rushed them through the last part, or that a nuru session turned out to be a standard massage. Confirm the length and type of session before you start. Phrom Phong, one stop west, has a far larger selection of soapy venues if you want more choice.
