Qian Qian Nuru Massage & Spa

Soi 4 never really goes to bed, and Qian Qian keeps the same hours: open at three in the afternoon, closed at five in the morning. Reviewers describe it as a newly opened spa, clean and large for the soi, with a friendly manager and drinks on the house.

It suits the night owl who wants nuru six minutes from BTS Nana, with jacuzzi rooms on the menu. Skip it if you need a firm price before you walk in. The only prices on record come from another directory, they contradict themselves in places, and one reviewer says the prices at the door were considerably higher than those online.

The listing places Qian Qian at 20, 13 Sukhumvit 4 Alley, in Khlong Toei. Several Google reviewers describe it as newly opened, and a couple call it one of the largest spas on Soi 4. One mentions spotting the sign on a walk down the soi.

The rooms come in grades. The directory's menu lists a standard shower room and a jacuzzi room, with a body scrub as an add-on to one jacuzzi session. Reviewers often mention cleanliness, and a couple say free drinks are served. One describes the manager presenting the menu along with the therapists available that evening, and others say you see the staff in person rather than choosing from photos.

Qian Qian has no website and publishes no prices. The figures below are as listed on another directory, fuzoku-resort.com, and may be out of date:

• Shower Room (standard) 40 min: ฿2,800
• NURU + Shower Room (standard) 40 min: ฿3,500
• Shower Room (standard) 60 min: ฿3,500
• NURU + Shower Room (standard) 60 min: ฿4,000
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room (extended) 90 min: ฿5,000
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room + Body Scrub (extended) 90 min: ฿5,500
• Outcall Service 60 min: ฿5,500
• Outcall Service 90 min: ฿6,500
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room (extended) 60 min: ฿7,000
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room 90 min: ฿7,800
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room (extended) 90 min: ฿8,500
• NURU + Jacuzzi Room 90 min: ฿9,800

That list doesn't add up neatly. The same 90-minute jacuzzi line appears at ฿5,000 and ฿8,500, another at ฿7,800 and ฿9,800, and a 60-minute jacuzzi session costs more than the 90-minute one above it. Treat it as a rough guide only. One Google reviewer says the prices quoted in person were well above what they had seen online, so get the figure for your room and your minutes before anything starts.

Booking runs through LINE, linked from the Google profile.

BTS Nana is about 350 metres away, a six-minute walk. BTS Phloen Chit is 660 metres off, about 11 minutes, and BTS Asok around 13.

The door is open daily from 15:00 to 05:00, so this is one of the few places where the last session can outlast the bars. The Skytrain doesn't: anything after midnight ends in a taxi. Qian Qian is one of the shops in the Nana district, and the Bangkok guide covers the rest of the city.

It suits a visitor staying around Nana who wants nuru late, in a new and clean building, and who is happy to settle the price at the desk. Groups seem welcome: one reviewer describes visiting with friends, and another says the manager dealt well with their group.

It suits a budget-watcher less well. With the published prices this unreliable, a shop with its own rate card will tell you more before you leave the hotel.

Qian Qian holds a 4.9 Google rating from 28 reviews, nearly all of them five stars.

Google reviewers often mention three things. The first is that it is new: many reviews date from its opening months and describe a clean, tidy, even luxurious spa. The second is the management. The manager and owner come up again and again as friendly, welcoming and not pushy, and the receptionist as polite. The third is the staff, described as friendly and professional. A couple of reviewers mention free drinks.

Several early reviewers say they know the owners personally. The one recent complaint is worth reading: a one-star reviewer says the prices at the door were considerably higher than those online, only one therapist was available, and the session felt rushed. That is a single report, but it is a reason to agree the price first.
