Venus

Venus sits a short walk from BTS Phrom Phong and keeps a long day, noon to midnight, an hour later on Wednesdays. Google files it under erotic massage. It publishes almost nothing else: no website, no booking channel, no menu.

It suits someone already in Phrom Phong who wants a near-station door and doesn't need to book. Skip it if you like to arrange things in advance, since several reviewers say they couldn't find a way to contact the shop, or if you'd rather pay a price written down somewhere. One reviewer says they were told ฿3,500 and charged far more. The reviews that praise it are mostly old, which leaves the 4.5 rating doing a lot of work.

The address is 25 5 Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, within five minutes of the Phrom Phong Skytrain. Google gives its main category as erotic massage, with massage spa as a second.

What the rooms are like comes from reviewers, most of them writing three to five years ago. Several call the rooms clean and new, and one calls the room beautiful. A two-star reviewer has a different view: a windowless room, a hallway that put them in mind of an hourly hotel, and someone at reception at all hours, asleep in a hammock. They also say they saw no obvious massage area. Two reviewers single out a welcoming owner or front desk.

No price list is published. What exists is reviewer-reported: one Google reviewer says they were told ฿3,500 in total, which is the only figure on record, with no session length attached.

The same reviewer says the card charge came to ฿13,750, on top of cash, and that the shop later told them it doesn't take cards. That is one account, but it is specific and it is useful. Agree the full price and what it covers before anything starts, pay in a way you can track, and check the amount before you sign.

For Phrom Phong shops with prices you can compare in advance, the Phrom Phong volume is the place to start.

BTS Phrom Phong is about 290 metres away, around a five-minute walk. BTS Thong Lo is just over a kilometre, about 16 minutes, and MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Center is roughly 20 minutes on foot.

Google lists the hours as 12:00 to midnight, Sunday to Saturday, with Wednesday running on to 01:00. Midnight is close to the last Skytrain, so a late start means a taxi home. The rest of the neighbourhood is on the Phrom Phong district page.

This is the shop's weak point. Venus lists no website, phone, LINE or other booking channel, and three Google reviewers have used the review box itself to ask how to reach it: one for a LINE ID, two simply asking how to make contact. The reviewer with the payment dispute says the shop answered their messages once.

So the practical route is to walk in during opening hours. If you want a shop you can message from the hotel first, the Sukhumvit list and the Asok volume cover the stretch on either side.

Venus holds a 4.5 Google rating from 31 reviews. Most of the five-star reviews are three to five years old, and they repeat a few themes: clean, new rooms, a friendly front desk or owner, and attractive staff. One praises a young mamasan for running the place well.

The recent reviews say less about the shop and more about reaching it. Three are questions asking for a LINE ID or any way to get in touch, which suggests the contact details are hard to find.

The negatives are single accounts. One reviewer, writing two years ago, says they were quoted ฿3,500 and charged ฿13,750 on a card, and couldn't get a proper reply afterwards. Another, giving two stars, describes a windowless room and a building that felt more like an hourly hotel than a massage shop.
