DNA Massage

Halfway up Thong Lo, where the bars give way to condos, DNA Massage sells nuru across three grades of room: standard, a VIP jacuzzi bubble-bath room and a VVIP jacuzzi 'dream room'. A thaiolddriver field report puts the range at ฿2,000 for 30 minutes to ฿7,500 for two therapists in the top room.

It suits someone in Thonglor who wants a late door and a room with a bath. Recent reviewers keep calling it clean, modern and upscale. Skip it if you want to read the prices from the shop itself, since it publishes none, or if you want a long session: the report's lines top out at an hour. The flood of recent five-star reviews is mostly a line long.

The Google listing calls DNA an erotic massage shop, and nuru is its line. The field report sorts everything by room: a standard room, a VIP jacuzzi bubble-bath room and a VVIP jacuzzi dream room. Two-therapist sessions are priced in both jacuzzi rooms, which puts DNA on the four-hands list, and a couple massage appears as an upgrade.

Google reviewers describe a modern, stylish interior, and one calls it newly opened. No payment methods, languages or booking channels are published. The listing links a website, but it carries no menu.

DNA doesn't publish a rate card. These prices come from a thaiolddriver field report, not from the venue, and may have changed:

• Standard room: happy ending half service 30 min: ฿2,000
• Standard room: full service 40 min: ฿2,400
• Standard room: full service 60 min: ฿3,600
• Standard room: Nuru massage 60 min: ฿3,400 and ฿4,400
• VIP jacuzzi bubble bath room: full service 60 min: ฿3,000 and ฿4,000
• VIP jacuzzi bubble bath room: Nuru massage 60 min: ฿3,800 and ฿4,800
• VVIP jacuzzi dream room: full service 60 min: ฿3,500 and ฿4,500
• VVIP jacuzzi dream room: Nuru massage 60 min: ฿4,300 and ฿5,300
• Two therapists: VIP jacuzzi bubble bath room 60 min: ฿6,500
• Two therapists: VVIP jacuzzi dream room 60 min: ฿7,500
• Upgrades: outfit option ฿300, couple massage ฿1,000, two therapists' upgrade to Nuru massage ฿1,000 (no durations listed)

Most room-and-service lines appear twice, ฿1,000 apart, and the report doesn't say what separates the two prices. Ask before you choose. The report lists nothing longer than 60 minutes, though one reviewer describes booking 90. For more jacuzzi rooms, see the VIP rooms volume.

The address is 205/22-23 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. BTS Thong Lo is 890 metres away, about a 14-minute walk up the road. BTS Phrom Phong is 21 minutes on foot and BTS Ekkamai 23. A motorbike taxi from the mouth of the soi saves the walk.

DNA opens at noon. It closes at 02:00 from Monday to Thursday and at 02:30 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, well after the last train. The Thonglor district page covers the street's other doors.

DNA suits the reader who wants a bath with the nuru and will pay for the room, and anyone in Thonglor looking for something open after midnight. It suits pairs too, with the couple upgrade.

Those on a tighter budget can check the cheap list, and the late-night list has other doors that stay open this late.

DNA Massage holds a 4.8 Google rating from 126 reviews, and the recent ones are almost all five stars, many posted in the last three weeks.

Two themes stand out. Google reviewers often mention a clean, modern or upscale setting, and several describe friendly staff and a warm welcome at the front counter. One reviewer notes it's newly opened. Therapists are named often, Blue more than anyone, with Maria and Luna also mentioned.

Many of the reviews are one line long, and several share exactly the same wording, so the longer ones carry more weight. The only recent complaint is a two-star review. The reviewer says a 90-minute session was cut short by a therapist who said she was tired and wanted to go home, and calls her attitude poor. It's a single report.
