Cupidy Soapy Massage

Phetchaburi Soi 39 runs north towards the old Makkasan rail yards, and Cupidy Soapy Massage keeps a door on it until four in the morning. That late close is the strongest thing in its favour. The rest of the record is hard going: a 3.0 Google rating from 45 reviews, most of the recent ones a single star.

It suits almost nobody who has a choice. Skip it if you dislike surprises on the bill. Several reviewers say they were overcharged or that the session ran far shorter than agreed. No prices are published by the shop at all. If you're in a tuk-tuk and the driver heads here unasked, read the reviews section below first.

Cupidy is listed as a soapy massage house. A Facebook page is the only web address on its listing, and nothing on record sets out the services, the rooms, the languages spoken or how to pay. There is no booking channel either.

What the record does show is the hours: 12:00 to 04:00, every day. Few houses on this side of the city stay open that late.

The shop publishes no prices. The only recent figure comes from a Google reviewer, a tuk-tuk driver, who says a passenger he brought paid ฿8,500. An older review, seven years back, mentions ฿3,500. Neither is a menu, and what either sum bought isn't stated.

So the advice is simple. Ask the price, what it covers and how many minutes it buys, and get the answer before any money changes hands. More than one reviewer says payment was taken up front, followed by a session far shorter than promised.

The address is 1543 Phetchaburi 39 Alley, Makkasan, in Ratchathewi. ARL Makkasan on the Airport Rail Link is the nearest stop, 590 metres away and about ten minutes on foot. MRT Phetchaburi is 810 metres off, around 13 minutes, and BTS Phloen Chit about 19.

The trains stop around midnight; Cupidy keeps going for four more hours. A metered taxi home is the sensible plan.

If you want a soapy or happy ending shop that stays open late, the late-night list collects places with stronger records. For shops a short walk from a station, the near BTS and MRT list is a better starting point, and the Top 20 sorts the city by rating.

Cupidy Soapy Massage holds a 3.0 Google rating from 45 reviews, and the recent ones are mostly one star.

The complaints repeat. Several reviewers describe it as a rip-off or a scam, saying they were charged extra or paid up front for very little. Short sessions are a recurring theme: reviewers report sessions of five, 15 and 30 minutes, one after being told 90. Others call the place run-down and the staff pushy or uninterested.

Two reviews involve tuk-tuk drivers. One comes from a driver who says his passenger paid ฿8,500. The other is from a rider who says a driver brought them here unasked, to an alley with a group of men waiting outside; they stayed in the tuk-tuk and went back to their hotel.

The few five-star reviews are brief, and the most detailed is seven years old.
