Happy ending massage in Pinklao: four shops over the river
Cross the bridge from the old town and the neon thins out. Pinklao keeps four doors in this guide, two of them soapy houses, and none publishes a price.
Pinklao is a short list and a quiet one. This guide files four shops here: two happy ending massage shops, 9Club and ป่า อรุณอมรินทร์ 28, and two soapy houses, Valentine Sauna & Massage 2 and BB EX.
The first thing to know is what's missing. None of the four has a price on record, from its own card, a directory or reviewers. You will be reading the menu at the counter, not on your phone.
The second is the map. Only one of the four lists a station at all, and that one is 19 minutes on foot from MRT Bang Yi Khan. This is a taxi district. Hours are better documented: all four post daily times, and BB EX stays open until 02:00, the latest in the district. 9Club holds the best Google rating here, 4.9, though from only 12 reviews.

The happy ending shops: 9Club and number 28
9Club leads the district on its Google score: 4.9 from 12 reviews. It lists daily hours of 12:00 to midnight. No nearby station is given on its listing, and no price is on record, so its page carries the hours and the map pin and not much else.
The second happy ending shop is listed under its Thai name, ป่า อรุณอมรินทร์ 28, and has its own page in the guide. It is the only Pinklao shop that names a station: MRT Bang Yi Khan, 19 minutes on foot, which is a long walk in the heat and a longer one in the rain. It opens 12:00 to 22:00, the earliest close in the district, and holds a 3.3 Google rating from seven reviews, the lowest score here and on a very small count.
Twelve reviews and seven reviews don't tell you much either way. Treat both ratings as a first impression rather than a verdict.
Two soapy houses, and the late one
Pinklao's soapy side has the deeper record, though deep is relative. Valentine Sauna & Massage 2 holds a 4.3 Google rating from 28 reviews, the most in the district. It keeps afternoon hours, 13:00 to 23:00 every day.
BB EX runs the longest day on this side of the river: 11:00 to 02:00, daily. It holds a 4.1 from 13 reviews. If you are coming late, it is the one door in Pinklao still listed as open after midnight.
Neither house publishes prices, and neither names a nearest station. The same goes for room types, session lengths and anything else you'd normally read off a card. Ask for the menu, ask how long each line lasts, and settle both before you sit down. For a sense of what soapy houses charge elsewhere in the city, the street map shows prices wherever a shop has them on record.
Getting there, and getting home
With only one station on record, and that one 19 minutes away, plan Pinklao around a taxi or a ride-hailing car. Set the pin to the shop's own listing rather than to the district, since four doors can sit a long way apart.
The hours run from 11:00, when BB EX opens, to 02:00, when it closes. 9Club shuts at midnight, Valentine at 23:00 and number 28 at 22:00. If your evening starts late, that leaves one choice. The late-night list covers the city's later doors, and open near you shows which are lit right now.
Across the river, Khao San has its own short list, and further south on the same bank Rama 2 has another. For the whole city in one place, start with the Bangkok guide.
