This was my first visit to Yunomori Onsen’s Sathorn branch, and honestly, I left feeling underwhelmed.
From the start, the cashier was unfriendly and unwelcoming. I’m not sure if it was because I only opted for the onsen day pass instead of their massage service, but his attitude certainly didn’t set a good tone. I’ve tried the massage at their Sukhumvit branch before and wasn’t impressed, so I didn’t see a reason to try it here either.
Once inside the onsen area, I noticed something odd—some patrons were wearing black shorts. I’m not sure if these were provided by the onsen, but it felt strange and out of place. Naturally, you’re supposed to be fully naked in an onsen, and having clothing in the baths makes the experience feel less clean, especially considering detergent residue from the fabric.
On the plus side, the facility itself was clean enough, and they have a nice garden, which adds to the atmosphere. There’s also a restaurant just beyond the garden offering food and chilled drinks, though I didn’t try it this time since I had dinner plans at ICONSIAM.
The rest area is located on the upper floor above the restaurant and was fairly relaxing. They provide a blanket, which is a nice touch, but I would have preferred if they offered something to layer over the pillow for hygiene purposes.
Overall, I’m giving this place 1 star due to the unfriendly cashier, the allowance of shorts in the onsen, and the lack of attention to small but important details. It’s still a decent enough place, but these factors made the experience very much less enjoyable.
