Near Nuru Massage — a hidden gem tucked away on Sukhumvit Soi 31

Near Nuru Massage (Sukhumvit Soi 31)

Near Nuru Massage is located in a shophouse on Sukhumvit Soi 31. The shop specializes in Japanese-style nuru gel massage. The setting is quite private, so the owner has deliberately installed starry-sky lights in every room. Beyond making the rooms look more distinctive, these lights also help distract you at critical moments, which can effectively improve the experience and quality of the service. The shop won’t cut the session short, but if you finish early because you’re too excited, it’s a bit of a waste—you know what I mean.

Room types

They mainly offer shower rooms and bathtub rooms. The shower rooms are smaller. For the full Japanese nuru experience, the bathtub room is definitely the better choice.

Pricing

The 40-minute package starts at 2,400 THB for the shower room. The bathtub room costs a bit more. The shop also specializes in couples service—if you bring your girlfriend or wife, they can accommodate you. The girl will wash both of you and playfully tease the two of you the whole time. At the end you can choose, but for the sake of relationship harmony, it’s usually best to finish with your own partner.

Opening hours

They’re open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend going too early for this kind of massage. Afternoon is usually better—the girls work until late, so they don’t love early shifts, and there are fewer customers in the afternoon, so you’re less likely to miss out on the girl you want. The best approach is still to book in advance. Since they stay open until 2 a.m., it’s also convenient for guys who arrive in Bangkok late at night.
