Honey Lemon

Honey Lemon keeps a two-line card and very late hours. Its rate card lists Aroma at ฿1,500 for 60 minutes and B2B at ฿2,200 for 90, both marked 'code M', and the door stays open until 04:00. That's a modest hour and a long night.

It suits someone staying around Naradhiwas or Sathorn who wants a modest price and a door open after the bars close. Recent reviewers call it reasonably priced. Skip it if you dislike haggling over extras: two reviewers mention extras and upcharges, and one advises booking the cheapest course and negotiating from there. One older review also calls the house none too tidy.

The address is 17 Soi Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 15, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon. Google files it as an erotic massage shop, and it turns up for soapy massage and ab ob nuad, the Thai term for a soapy house. This guide lists it as soapy, with happy ending massage alongside.

There's no website. Reviewers fill in some of the picture: one describes an older house with a terrace outside and a clientele that leans Japanese, and another, years back, recommends asking the woman who manages the floor to suggest someone rather than choosing on looks alone. The listing names no languages or payment methods.

Its rate card lists:

• Aroma (code M) 60 min: ฿1,500
• B2B (code M) 90 min: ฿2,200

The card doesn't explain 'code M'; ask at the desk what it refers to and whether other codes cost more. One reviewer from three years ago quotes the same ฿1,500 for an hour, which suggests the base price has held.

Extras are the thing to watch. One reviewer suggests taking the cheapest course and then discussing extras and prices with your therapist; another, years ago, complains of a heavy upcharge. Agree what's included, and the total, before the session begins. No booking channel is listed, and one reviewer says the shop's LINE ID wasn't connecting, so walking in is the straightforward route.

No station is close. BTS Chong Nonsi is 980 m away and BTS Saint Louis 1,010 m, each about 16 minutes on foot. BTS Sala Daeng is 1,250 m, around 20 minutes. A taxi or motorbike taxi down Naradhiwas is quicker.

The hours are the shop's other selling point: 10:00 to 04:00, every day. After midnight the Skytrain has stopped, so the trip home is by taxi. It sits in the Sathorn district, and the late-night list has more doors open in the small hours.

Honey Lemon suits the price-conscious late-nighter in Sathorn who's comfortable settling terms face to face. The ฿1,500 hour is a low price to set against the cheap list.

It suits the first-timer who wants everything agreed in advance, in writing, rather less. For shops with fuller published menus, the Top 20 is a better start.

Honey Lemon holds a 4.1 Google rating from 17 reviews, and the record is mixed and thin on detail.

On the positive side, recent reviewers call it reasonably priced, and a couple say the massage is good. The most recent five-star review praises the therapist and notes that names sometimes change. A former staff member, writing a year ago, says the workers were young students who weren't focused on the massage itself.

The recurring caution is about extras. One reviewer advises booking the cheapest course and negotiating extras directly, and another, seven years ago, complained of a 100% upcharge. An older review describes the building as an older house that is none too tidy. Short one-word verdicts, from 'Good' to 'Not good', fill out the rest.
