Melody Massage & Spa

Five in the morning. That's when Melody closes on six days out of seven, according to Google, which makes it one of the latest doors in this guide. On Saturdays it shuts at midnight.

The hours are the only striking fact. Google files Melody as a generic spa, it turned up under a search for body massage, and none of its sources describe anything beyond that. There are no prices, no booking channel, no website and two reviews without text. It suits someone in Bang Khen who needs a massage at an hour when everything else is shut. Readers looking for a happy ending shop with a known record should start with the Top 20.

The listing is brief. Its Google category is Spa, it matched a search for body massage, and that's the full extent of what's said about its services. No menu, languages, payment methods or booking channel are published, and there's no website. Ask what is on offer when you arrive.

There is no price list on record, from the shop or anyone else. Ask for the menu at the door, and agree the price and the length of the session before you start. For shops that publish their rates in advance, the under ฿2,500 list is a useful comparison.

The address is 1, 5 Soi Khu Bon 27, Tha Raeng, Bang Khen, in the north-east of the city. No BTS or MRT station is listed nearby, so a taxi is the practical way in and out.

Google's hours are 10:00 to 05:00 from Sunday to Friday, and 10:00 to midnight on Saturday. Read the Saturday line carefully: the late finish doesn't apply that night. Other doors still lit after the trains stop are on the late-night list.
