Orion Sauna

Orion suits visitors with an afternoon to spare who want a sauna, bath and buffet with optional extra services, and who don't mind a ride out of the center. Reviewers mention a ฿550 entry before 15:00 for about six hours, with free soft drinks and a buffet. Google reviewers also often mention Japanese-speaking staff. Skip it if you want clear prices: the most common complaints are drinks added to the bill without consent, prices quoted wrongly at the door and no price list for extras. Its 3.6 rating is low, and one reviewer was refused entry as a woman. For simpler options, see our best soapy massage in Pattaya guide.

Google lists Orion as a sauna and massage therapist. Reviewers describe a Macau-style sauna: you change in a locker room, use the showers, then the bath and sauna, with free soft drinks and a buffet included in the entry. One reviewer mentions a pool and another a jacuzzi. Optional extra services with female staff are priced separately after you enter.

Google reviewers often mention a Japanese-speaking hostess who explains the system, and one says a staff member guides new arrivals through the changing and bathing. Several say it is a large, clean venue. One reviewer was told women were not admitted, so check before going if you are not a man.

The venue has no website or phone listed.

Orion publishes no prices. The list below comes from a third-party listing site, runbkk.net, and may be out of date; it is not the venue's own rate card:

• Shoulder Massage (Shoulders) 20 min: ฿350
• Arm Massage (Both Arms) 20 min: ฿350
• Leg Massage (Both Legs) 20 min: ฿350
• Hip Joint Massage 20 min: ฿350
• Foot Sole Massage 20 min: ฿350
• Body Wash (Body Cleansing) 20 min: ฿350
• Ear Cleaning 20 min: ฿350
• Nail Clipping 20 min: ฿350
• Body Scrub 40 min: ฿1,000
• Traditional Thai Massage 60 min: ฿1,000
• Relaxation Room 360 min: ฿1,000

The venue advertises from ฿1,000. Several reviewers mention a happy hour from 12:00 to 15:00 with entry around ฿550 to ฿555 for about six hours, and one gives ฿888 as the regular entry. One reviewer says a ฿200 drink for staff is required.

Payment is made when you leave, according to one reviewer. Several warn to check the bill line by line. One reviewer finds everything about three times the price of central Pattaya; our cheap massage guide covers lower-cost shops.

Google lists the address only as 149 353, Muang Pattaya, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150, with no street name; we file it under Third Road. Reviewers say it is hard to find and about a ten-minute taxi ride from Central Pattaya. Several say it shows up in the Bolt app but not Grab, and one says the venue can arrange a taxi. Pattaya has no metro, so there is no station to list.

It is open every day from 12:00 to 02:00, which puts it on our late-night massage list.

It suits visitors, particularly Japanese speakers, who want to spend an afternoon in a sauna and bath with food and drinks included, and who will watch the bill. It suits less well anyone on a budget, anyone who wants upfront prices for everything, or women visitors. Browse the Pattaya directory for alternatives.

Orion has a 3.6 Google rating from 43 reviews, with many three- and four-star verdicts.

On the positive side, Google reviewers often mention good value during the 12:00 to 15:00 happy hour, free drinks and buffet, a clean, large venue with a hot sauna, and Japanese-speaking staff who explain the system. Several say there were 15 to 20 or more staff on duty on their visit.

The complaints center on money. Several reviewers say drinks they declined or did not order appeared on the bill, and one says a friend's bill came out higher for fewer drinks. Others say the price quoted at the door was wrong, and one asks the venue to publish a clear price list for extras. One reviewer calls everything three times the price of central venues. Another found the buffet poor and left, one complains of long waits, and one was refused entry as a woman.

A few reviewers report no overcharging at all, but most advise checking every line of the bill.
