Aimi Bangkok Massage

Two packages, two prices, and a reputation that does most of the selling. Aimi Bangkok Massage lists a Classic at ฿3,900 and an Excellent at ฿4,900, with a four-hands option on top, and holds a 4.8 Google rating from 177 reviews.

It suits someone who wants nuru with a bit of ceremony: Google reviewers often mention a warm reception, refreshments, and a clear introduction before the session. Its website says its therapists were trained by Japanese nuru specialists. Skip it if you want to know the length of what you're buying before you arrive, since neither package carries a duration on the card. Night owls should look elsewhere too: the door shuts at 23:00, early for Sukhumvit.

The website lists three spaces: a shower zone, a lounge and a suite. It offers two nuru packages, Classic and Excellent, plus a four-hands option with two therapists. According to the website, the therapists were trained by Japanese nuru specialists.

The listing gives English and Chinese as languages. Several Google reviewers describe being greeted at the door, offered snacks or drinks, and walked through the options. One says a manager upgraded them to a jacuzzi room at no charge on a first visit, though a jacuzzi isn't on the published card. Two-therapist sessions put Aimi on the four-hands list.

Its rate card lists:

• Classic (no duration listed): ฿3,900
• Excellent (no duration listed): ฿4,900

That's the whole published card. It doesn't say what the extra ฿1,000 for Excellent buys, in minutes or in anything else, so ask before you choose. One Google reviewer reports paying ฿7,400 for a 130-minute package, which doesn't appear on the card at all.

At ฿3,900 to start, Aimi sits towards the top of the Asok market. The Asok volume puts its neighbours' cards side by side, and the cheap list covers the other end.

LINE is the published booking channel. One reviewer who arrived around 11:00 found only two therapists available, and wasn't sure whether a particular therapist could be reserved; a LINE message the day before settles that.

The address is 21, 7 Sukhumvit Soi 18, Khlong Toei. BTS Asok is 630 m away, about ten minutes on foot, and MRT Sukhumvit 660 m, about eleven. BTS Phrom Phong is twelve minutes off. With closing at 23:00, the last train home is never in doubt. The Asok district page maps the rest of the neighbourhood.

A first-timer who wants the process explained, and a visitor who values a reception that treats them as a guest. Pairs of friends looking for a four-hands session. It suits less well a late-night wanderer, or anyone counting every baht: there's no package under ฿3,900. For a wider look at the top end, the Top 20 is the place to start.

Aimi Bangkok Massage holds a 4.8 Google rating from 177 reviews, and recent ones are almost all five stars.

Google reviewers often mention the welcome: a friendly receptionist, refreshments or snacks, and a careful introduction before the session. Cleanliness and a comfortable atmosphere come up repeatedly, along with skilled, attentive therapists. One name dominates: Sky is praised in at least six reviews. Others mention Demi, Candy, Nina, Magie, Gina, Mia, Miya and Marin.

Complaints are rare. One reviewer, on a first visit, says the therapist lacked skill and left them uncomfortable. Another, otherwise positive, says the therapists didn't closely match the photos shown on the tablet. A third, arriving at 11:00, found only two therapists available, worth knowing if you want a wide choice.
