Prostate Dragon Hot Stone Health Massage

The name reads like a pulp title on its own. Behind it, according to its reviews, is an earnest health massage shop on Sukhumvit Road near BTS Bang Chak, run by an owner reviewers call Jane. Google files it as a Thai massage therapist. The name advertises prostate massage and hot stone treatments, and reviewers describe both as therapy.

It suits someone who wants a skilled, clinical massage, hot stone or prostate included, at a price several reviewers call reasonable. It does not suit anyone looking for a happy ending shop: nothing on the record describes one. Skip it if you want a late finish, too. It closes at 22:30.

The name sets out the specialities: prostate massage and hot stone treatments. Reviewers add Thai massage, foot massage and oil massage to the list, and two mention a 'dragon' massage, one calling it the shop's famous one. What it involves isn't described.

The tone of the reviews is therapeutic. One says the therapists check whether you're in pain, find the root of it, and explain things along the way, including to first-timers trying a prostate massage. Another says the owner speaks fluent English and will introduce the range of treatments. Private rooms are described as clean and cosy.

No prices are published anywhere we could find. Ask for the menu at the door and settle the treatment and the length before you start. Several reviewers call the prices reasonable, and a few say it's cheaper than other places they've tried, though none gives a figure.

The address is 125 Sukhumvit Road, Bang Chak, Phra Khanong. BTS Bang Chak is the nearest stop, about 380 metres away, roughly six minutes on foot. BTS On Nut is 840 metres off, about 14 minutes, and BTS Punnawithi around 20.

The shop opens at 09:00 and closes at 22:30, every day, which leaves plenty of time for the last train. Other shops in the area are on the On Nut district page.

This is a place for people who take massage seriously: travellers with sore backs, expats who want a regular therapist, and anyone curious about prostate or hot stone massage as a health treatment. One reviewer makes an eight-hour round trip from Hua Hin for it. If what you're after is an adult massage, look at the Top 20 volume or the Sukhumvit list instead.

Prostate Dragon holds a 4.9 Google rating from 27 reviews, and nearly every recent one is five stars.

Google reviewers often mention skill: firm, well-judged pressure, therapists who adjust it and ask about comfort, and treatments that ease aches. Jane, the owner, is named in several reviews as an expert therapist and a welcoming host, and Tee, Bee and Mam each draw praise from more than one reviewer. Cleanliness comes up again and again, as do friendly staff. Several reviewers call the prices reasonable or lower than elsewhere, and a number say they came back two or three times in one trip.

The only complaint is a single one-word review calling it boring. Nothing in the reviews suggests anything other than a straightforward health massage shop.
