Venus Sauna & Massage

Venus Sauna & Massage is a soapy house on Ratchadamri Road, nine minutes on foot from BTS Chit Lom. It has no website and no published prices. One Google reviewer says they paid ฿3,000 for 90 minutes; another says the opening quote of ฿3,000 dropped to ฿2,500 at the first hesitation.

It suits someone who wants a central soapy house that opens at noon and doesn't mind settling the price face to face. Skip it if you want a fixed price, a calm lobby or a strong rating: 3.5 from 41 reviews is low for the city, and the one-star reviews are blunt. Shops with clearer prices are gathered in the Top 20.

Google lists Venus under soapy massage, with a sauna among its services. The address is 39-39/1-39/9 Ratchadamri Road in Lumphini, Pathum Wan: a run of numbers rather than a single door.

One Google reviewer describes the layout. There are entrances on the left and right, joined inside, and a tiered seating area on the right side that looked slightly cheaper to them. Another reviewer simply calls it very crowded. Beyond that, the shop publishes nothing: no website, no menu, no booking channel and no list of rooms.

There is no rate card. The only numbers come from Google reviewers, and they leave out tips and extras:

• One reviewer reports paying ฿3,000 for 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Another says they were quoted ฿3,000 on the left side, and the figure fell to ฿2,500 when they hesitated.

So the opening number may not be the final one. Agree the price, the length of the session and what the total covers before you pay at the counter. One reviewer says staff kept asking for tips after payment had been made, which is worth knowing before you decide how much cash to carry.

At ฿3,000 for 90 minutes, Venus is no bargain. The under ฿2,500 list is the volume to open if that figure is a stretch.

BTS Chit Lom is the nearest stop, about 560 metres away, roughly nine minutes on foot. ARL Ratchaprarop, on the Airport Rail Link, is 680 metres off, around 11 minutes. BTS Siam is 860 metres, about 14 minutes, if you are coming from the other side of the malls.

Google gives the hours as 12:00 to 23:00, every day. That puts closing time well before the last train, so the Skytrain home is still an option. The rest of the neighbourhood is mapped on the Pratunam district page.

Venus is for the visitor who is already in Pratunam or at Chit Lom, wants a soapy house rather than a massage parlour, and is comfortable with a price that's settled at the desk. The daytime opening helps anyone fitting a visit around shopping or a flight.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wants to book ahead or compare prices online, since no channel is published. Readers who prefer Sukhumvit can work through the Sukhumvit list, and those who need a door that stays open past 23:00 should start with the late-night list.

Venus holds a 3.5 Google rating from 41 reviews, and the recent ones split sharply. The five-star reviews are short and mostly about appearance: several mention that there are lots of beautiful women to choose from, and one adds that the prices are affordable and the service excellent. One four-star reviewer is happy with the session and calls ฿3,000 for 90 minutes acceptable.

The one-star reviews are just as short, and harsher: 'worst place ever', 'run away', 'absolutely do not go'. One gives a reason: the price was cut to get them in, then staff kept asking for tips after they had paid at the counter, and the service was casual. Another reviewer calls the place very crowded. The pattern is a busy, mixed house where the price and the extras need settling up front.
