Venue: A compact, simple, and functional environment, with a setup very similar to that of the nearby Princess. It is not a particularly large or luxurious venue, but the spaces are well maintained and decidedly more pleasant than those of many small massage shops in the same category.
The reception area is arranged around an actual bar area, with a counter, stools, and sofas where the available girls wait. The bar is little more than decorative, but it gives the space a modern feel without aiming for any particularly elaborate visual effects.
The rooms vary depending on the service selected, and the menu offers different room types, some of which are priced higher than the standard version. Overall, although the rooms are suitable and equipped for Nuru, the setup is typical of the classic “teen massage” venues in the Phrom Phong area: few frills, relatively compact spaces, and everything needed for the type of service offered.
Girls: The line-up is made up mainly of girls under thirty, with an average level of attractiveness that is generally good and broadly in line with that of the nearby Princess. The official uniform once again follows the inevitable “Japan-style” schoolgirl look, with a light-colored blouse, colored bow, and short skirt, although the clothing may vary. The girls normally wait in the reception area, and the choice is made from those available at the time. The overall number of girls is fairly large, but naturally both the quantity and, above all, the quality of those present at the same time can vary considerably depending on the day and time. As always with venues of this kind, it is therefore advisable to assess the line-up directly at the time of the visit or, alternatively, to book in advance a girl you already know.
Prices: QUEEN’s menu is fairly extensive, offering Short Time without the massage portion, as well as several Special Packages differentiated mainly by the type of massage and duration. You can find the full price list in the image alongside (or by scrolling down if you are viewing on a smartphone).
The choice is decidedly broad: prices start at 1,800 Baht for a 30-minute Short Time (a quick session without massage) and go up to 3,800 Baht for a 90-minute Nuru Gel with Shower Room. Strangely, there are also options that include Body to Body only, without Full Service. For those looking instead for the classic Special without the need for Nuru or a specific room, the intermediate options make it possible to keep the cost at around 3,000 Baht, depending on the duration and formula selected. The 90-minute options include 2 shots instead of one.
An Outcall service is also available, meaning the service can be provided at your location, but considering the context and the alternatives available, it is not particularly convenient.
Hours: 12:00 p.m. to midnight every day.
Restaurant/Bar: There is technically a proper bar area inside the reception, with a counter and stools, but it is rather pointless in a place like this.
Note: QUEEN is located on Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, the same small side street where Princess is located, and only a very short distance from it. Geographic proximity, however, is not the only thing the two venues have in common, because there are also many similarities in terms of philosophy, overall setup, type of girls, and services offered, and both are relatively new. Having personally visited both, I found QUEEN very similar to Princess also in terms of the quality of the girls and the overall level of service. The selection is predominantly young, the setup is typically Japanese-style, and the level of attractiveness I found during my visit also seemed broadly comparable to that of its nearby competitor. There is therefore none of the obvious difference that might be found when comparing one of these small massage shops with much larger, more expensive, and more visually elaborate venues. QUEEN and Princess essentially belong to the same category, and both focus more on the quality of the girls and on the practicality of the service, as well as on the availability of a reasonably priced “Short Time” option without massage, rather than on the luxury of the location. QUEEN does, however, have a more extensive menu, which, in addition to the classic Thai, Oil, and Aroma Special options, also includes Nuru Gel, a Nuru variant with Shower Room, and an additional Special Package, although in practical terms the main difference is the amount of time available. The 90-minute options also allow for multishot. In terms of prices, QUEEN is currently slightly more expensive than Princess across practically all comparable parts of the price list. The 60-minute Thai Special, for example, costs 2,300 Baht compared with 2,200, while for 90 minutes the difference becomes more noticeable; the same applies to Oil, Aroma, and especially Nuru Gel. QUEEN does, however, compensate by offering a few more choices, including the specific Nuru option with Shower Room. The price difference is still minimal. Considering how close the two venues are and how similar they are in terms of quality, the simplest approach remains to take a look at the girls available at both and choose according to the line-up at that particular moment. Personally, I did not notice any significant difference in the quality of the service: my experience at QUEEN was good and essentially on the same level as the one I had at Princess. The difference can come down to the individual girl, rather than the venue itself. As a result, I see no particular reason to consider one clearly superior to the other.
In short, QUEEN is another classic small Japanese/Korean-style massage shop on Soi 33, focusing on relatively young girls with typically Asian beauty standards, a good average level of quality, still relatively affordable prices, and a fairly broad range of services.
