Lomo Nuru Massage

Lomo sells by the room. Its own rate card has three: a Standard Bath Room from ฿2,000 for 40 minutes, a Bathtub Room from ฿2,400 and a Nuru Room from ฿2,800, with an 80-minute combo in the Nuru Room for ฿4,000. It opens late in the afternoon and runs until 03:00.

It suits someone who wants a new, clean shop on the main road, a large line-up to choose from in person, and a door still open after the Sukhumvit midnight rush. Skip it if you're paying by card, which isn't accepted, or if you're price-sensitive: a few reviewers find it dearer than its neighbours. Reviewers praise the rooms and the mats; one name, Luna, comes up again and again.

Lomo calls itself a nuru house with happy ending massage alongside, and its website also sells Thai oil massage and couples massage. According to the website, rooms have private showers, jacuzzis and Japanese nuru mats. It doesn't offer outcall or hotel visits.

Reviewers describe the choice in person. Several mention how many therapists are waiting, one calls the viewing area a fishbowl, and one says the receptionist introduces the line-up. Therapists go by number as well as name. Several reviewers note that the shop is new, clean and well equipped, and one singles out the quality of the mats.

Its rate card lists:

• A Standard Bath Room 40 min: ฿2,000
• A Standard Bath Room 60 min: ฿2,200
• B Bathtub Room 40 min: ฿2,400
• B Bathtub Room 60 min: ฿2,600
• C Nuru Room 40 min: ฿2,800
• C Nuru Room 60 min: ฿3,200
• Double Bliss combo, Room C (60 + 20 min) 80 min: ฿4,000
• Extra time: add 20 minutes 20 min: ฿800
• Massage session (no duration listed): ฿800
• Add-on: outfit option (no duration listed): ฿200
• Add-on: outfit option (no duration listed): ฿500
• Add-on: Lingerie (no duration listed): ฿500

Each step up in room adds ฿400 for 40 minutes. In rooms A and B, the extra 20 minutes to make an hour costs only ฿200, much less than buying 20 minutes as an add-on at ฿800. The Double Bliss combo is simply the 60-minute Nuru Room plus 20 extra minutes, at the same ฿4,000.

Payment is cash, WeChat Pay or Alipay; the website says credit cards aren't taken. Walk-ins are accepted, and bookings go through LINE, WhatsApp, Telegram and WeChat. Agree the room and the minutes before you start: one reviewer says he paid ฿2,600 for an hour and felt short-changed.

The address is 8 and 8/1 to 8/4 Sukhumvit Soi 22, Khlong Toei, and one reviewer says it's on the main street. BTS Phrom Phong is 560 metres away, about nine minutes on foot. BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit are both around 11 or 12 minutes. The website places it a short walk from the Emsphere mall.

The door opens at 15:00 and closes at 03:00, three hours after the last train. One reviewer counts the late finish as its main advantage over shops nearby that close at midnight or 01:00. The Phrom Phong district page maps the rest of the area, and the late-night list collects the other doors open this late.

Lomo suits a night owl on lower Sukhumvit who wants a fresh building, a choice of room and a large line-up, and doesn't mind paying in cash. The couples option on the website puts it on the couples list, and its VIP rooms on the VIP rooms list.

It suits a bargain hunter less well. For starting prices well under ฿2,000, try the cheap list.

Lomo Nuru Massage holds a 4.4 Google rating from 32 reviews. Most are five stars, and the shop is young enough that many reviewers comment on how new it is.

The patterns are consistent. Reviewers often mention a clean, beautiful shop with new equipment, and several praise friendly reception staff. Several mention the large choice of therapists. One therapist, Luna (No. 23), is named in more reviews than anyone else, often for her English and her humour; Nova (No. 70) and a few others are recommended more than once too.

The complaints are about value and consistency. A few reviewers find the prices high for the area, by ฿500 to ฿1,000 according to one, and two describe the therapists as average. One says he paid ฿2,600 for an hour and didn't get the service he expected. Another says a therapist shouted at him and the shop refunded only ฿200 when he ended the session.
