Ryoshin Spa

Ryoshin Spa is a mall spa built around a heated stone bath, and Google files it as a health spa. It sits in Plearnary Mall in Bang Khen, far from the neon of the lower Sukhumvit sois.

Its 2.8 rating from 42 reviews has one cause above all. Reviewer after reviewer describes hard selling: a cheap promotion at the door, then repeated pressure to buy courses worth thousands. Several of the same reviewers praise the rooms and the therapists. It suits a local who wants a hot stone soak and can say no firmly and often. Anyone who wants a quiet hour without a sales pitch should look elsewhere.

The listing places Ryoshin in Plearnary Mall on Watcharaphon Road, Tha Raeng, Bang Khen. Its only web presence is a Facebook page. Google reviewers describe a heated stone bath, sometimes called a volcanic or green stone spa, alongside massage, body scrubs and facial treatments.

The rooms get good notices. Several reviewers describe them as beautiful, private and clean, and several say the therapists are skilled and welcoming. One mentions convenient parking, another that it can be noisy.

The spa publishes no prices of its own. Reviewers report paying ฿1,500 for an hour of aromatherapy massage, and one says the price list showed the hot stone bath at about ฿3,500 or more per session.

The ฿888 social media promotion is the most discussed figure. Several reviewers say it covers only a short soak in the stone bath, 10 to 20 minutes by their accounts, and that the full treatment shown in the advertising costs around ฿3,000 more. Others describe being offered courses of 3, 5 or 10 sessions, with prices running into the tens of thousands. Ask exactly what each price includes, and how long it lasts, before you change.

No booking channel is published. One long-term customer says reminders are sent before appointments; others say slots are hard to get once a course is bought.

MRT Vacharaphol, on the Pink Line, is about 980 metres away, roughly 16 minutes on foot. MRT Maiyalap is about 23 minutes and MRT Khu Bon around 25. The mall has parking, which one reviewer singles out.

The spa is open every day from 11:00 to 20:00, following mall hours. The Bangkok guide covers the city's other spas and massage shops.

Ryoshin Spa holds a 2.8 Google rating from 42 reviews, and the low score has a single, consistent cause.

Google reviewers often mention aggressive selling. Many describe being pressed to buy multi-session courses from the moment they arrived, during the treatment and on the way out; one says staff knocked on the treatment room door to continue the pitch. Several say the ฿888 promotion turned out to be a short stone-bath soak, with the full treatment costing far more. Several course buyers say appointments are hard to get, and one says a booked slot was moved the day before.

The treatment itself fares better. Several reviewers praise the rooms as beautiful and private, and describe the therapists as skilled and polite. One long-standing customer gives five stars for an organised booking system while asking for gentler selling.
