Black Lotus Nuru Massage

Black Lotus prices itself in four tiers named after a flower: Petal, Blossom, Lotus and Black Lotus. A thaiolddriver field report puts the bottom of that ladder at ฿1,800 for 40 minutes and the top at ฿5,200 for 90, so there is a way in for a modest budget and a long way up for anyone who wants it.

It suits a visitor staying near BTS Phrom Phong who wants an English-speaking front desk; Google reviewers mention that more than anything else. Skip it if you need a published menu from the shop itself, or if you like your hours settled. Google Maps and the shop's website disagree by two hours at closing time.

Black Lotus calls itself a nuru house and also sells happy ending massage. Google Maps files it under erotic massage, with Thai massage therapist as a second category. According to its website, every course includes a private room with a shower, and the site also lists a jacuzzi room and four-hands sessions among its amenities. That puts it on the four-hands list as well as the nuru shelf.

The Google listing gives the address as Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Tan, but the website and several reviewers place it on Sukhumvit Soi 26, a quieter lane than the main road. One reviewer notes it isn't a busy, high-volume street. No payment methods or languages are listed, though reviews return to the English at reception again and again.

The shop's own prices aren't quoted here. These figures come from a thaiolddriver field report, and some tier-and-length pairs appear twice at different prices. The report doesn't say why:

• Petal: full service 40 min: ฿1,800
• Petal: full service 60 min: ฿2,200 and ฿2,800
• Petal: full service 90 min: ฿2,800 and ฿3,400
• Blossom: full service 40 min: ฿2,200
• Blossom: full service 60 min: ฿2,600 and ฿3,200
• Blossom: full service 90 min: ฿3,200 and ฿3,800
• Lotus: full service 40 min: ฿3,000
• Lotus: full service 60 min: ฿3,600 and ฿4,200
• Lotus: full service 90 min: ฿4,200 and ฿4,800
• Black Lotus: full service 60 min: ฿4,200 and ฿4,800
• Black Lotus: full service 90 min: ฿4,800 and ฿5,200
• Massage session (no duration listed): ฿500
• Extras: Nuru massage (no duration listed): ฿500
• Extras: outfit option (no duration listed): ฿300 and ฿500

The paired prices mostly sit ฿600 apart. Ask which one applies before the door closes behind you, and ask what the ฿500 nuru extra adds to a tier. Booking runs through LINE, WhatsApp and Telegram. At ฿1,800 for 40 minutes the Petal tier sits within reach of the under ฿2,500 volume.

BTS Phrom Phong is 290 metres away, about a five-minute walk. BTS Thong Lo is roughly 16 minutes on foot and MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center about 20. One reviewer found it from a hotel on the same street; another describes it as directly in front of theirs.

The hours need care. Google Maps lists 11:00 to 01:00 on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 11:00 to midnight on Tuesday, and 12:00 to midnight on Wednesday. The website says daily 10:00 to 23:00, with last booking at 22:00. The two can't both be right. On Google's version the shop outlasts the last Skytrain on most nights; on the website's, you'd be done before it. A message on LINE settles it. Other late doors are gathered in the late-night volume.

First-timers in Bangkok, mainly. A recurring note in the reviews is that the reception speaks good English and isn't pushy, which matters when the menu has four tiers and two prices per line. Hotel guests on Soi 26 have the shortest walk in the city.

It suits a budget watcher less neatly than the ฿1,800 opening line suggests, because the hour that most people book runs from ฿2,200 upwards and the tiers climb quickly. For the rest of the street, the Phrom Phong district page and the Phrom Phong volume set Black Lotus against its neighbours.

Black Lotus holds a 4.5 Google rating from 37 reviews, and most of the recent ones are five stars. The clearest pattern is the front desk: several reviewers say the staff or the owner speak excellent English, and a couple describe the owner as friendly and fair. Reviewers also often mention good service and repeat visits, with more than one saying they went back several times during a single trip. A few mention the front desk recommending nearby restaurants.

The complaints are fewer and single voices. One reviewer calls the praise exaggerated, another says other places are better, and one describes a 90-minute session in which the therapist seemed tired, leaving early with a ฿300 discount. One review mentions that parking on the side street is awkward. Weigh those against the run of five-star notes.
