Penthouse Spa

Penthouse Spa sits deep in the sois north of Sukhumvit, a long walk from any station, and keeps its door open until four in the morning. Google lists it as an erotic massage, and its search terms include อาบอบนวด, the Thai word for a soapy house. Reviewers mention KTV, food and music as well.

It suits someone entertaining a group, or a guest, who wants privacy and a late finish and doesn't mind paying for it. Skip it if you're watching the baht or want a price before you go: none is published, and several reviewers call it expensive.

There's no website, only a LINE booking link. Google's category is erotic massage, and the search terms tied to the listing include อาบอบนวด, the Thai term for a soapy massage house. What happens beyond that isn't published.

The reviews sketch the rest. One mentions singing KTV with a group, others praise the food and the music, and a couple of reviewers say they brought business clients. Several mention the staff and the atmosphere, one describing the place as fragrant, fresh and cool. One reviewer liked the privacy.

No prices are published anywhere we could find: no rate card, no menu online, no directory figures. Ask for the menu at the door, or over LINE before you set out, and get the total in writing.

Price is the main split in the reviews. Some call it reasonable or worth it; one says it's on the expensive end but worth it for the privacy. Others are blunt: three one-star reviews call it very expensive, two of them adding that the service was poor. One reviewer mentions a figure of 3,600 without saying what it covered.

The address is 222 Pridi Banomyong 31 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. The nearest station is BTS Ekkamai, about 1,450 metres away, roughly a 24-minute walk. The Airport Rail Link at Ramkhamhaeng is 1,620 metres off and BTS Phra Khanong 1,640 metres, both nearer half an hour on foot. A taxi or motorbike taxi from the station is the sensible way to cover the distance.

The listed hours are 10:00 to 04:00, every day. One reviewer, though, arrived at 17:00 and found the gate shut. If you're going early in the day, message on LINE first.

Penthouse leans towards the evening out: groups, KTV, food and a late close. That suits a party or someone hosting a visitor. A solo traveller after a straightforward massage near the BTS has easier options. Start with the Top 20 volume or, for doors open after the trains stop, the late-night list.

Penthouse Spa holds a 4.5 Google rating from 63 reviews. Most recent ones are five stars, many of them short and posted within a few days of each other.

Google reviewers often mention good service, attractive staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Several say they brought friends or business clients and that their guests were impressed. Food and music get praise from a couple of reviewers, and one enjoyed the KTV, advising you to pick your group carefully.

The complaints are about value. Three one-star reviewers call it expensive, two of them saying the service was poor or perfunctory for the price, and one warns people to stay away. A further reviewer says they arrived at 17:00 to find the gate closed, despite the listed hours.
