Sukebe Nuru Massage

Google reviewers call Sukebe a new shop, and its website sells it as Japanese-style. The rate card opens at ฿1,700 for 30 minutes and reaches ฿3,500 for 90 minutes of nuru, with a jacuzzi at ฿700 extra.

It suits someone who wants a fair price on the Asok side of Sukhumvit, a nuru with a jacuzzi on the side, and the choice of two therapists at once. Skip it if you want every price spelled out: several lines on the card carry no duration, and the website shows paired prices without explaining them. Google reviewers keep returning to two things, a clean, calm shop and attentive reception staff, and they name the same few therapists often.

The website describes Sukebe as a Japanese-style massage and lists four services: full service, nuru full service, nuru with two therapists, and a chair massage. The jacuzzi is an add-on rather than a room type.

Google reviewers describe the shop as newly opened and often mention how clean it is. Several also note a calm atmosphere, private rooms with a pleasant scent, and reception staff who recommend a course. Languages and payment methods aren't published. One reviewer reports a 5% charge for card payment, so bring baht if you'd rather avoid it.

Its rate card lists:

• Full service massage 30 min: ฿1,700
• Full service massage 60 min: ฿2,300
• Nuru full service massage 90 min: ฿3,500
• Nuru full service massage (no duration listed): ฿2,800
• Nuru full service massage (no duration listed): ฿5,000
• Nuru full service massage (no duration listed): ฿6,000
• Jacuzzi (no duration listed): ฿700

Three of those nuru lines come without a length, so ask what ฿2,800, ฿5,000 and ฿6,000 buy before you choose. The website shows prices in pairs, such as 3,000/2,800, which suggests a promotional rate, but it doesn't say for how long. Two therapists are on offer as Nuru 2 ladies, which puts Sukebe among the four-hands shops.

At ฿2,300 for an hour, the card is on the cheaper side of the Asok volume. Add the jacuzzi and 90 minutes of nuru comes to ฿4,200.

Bookings go through LINE, WhatsApp and Telegram. The listing doesn't say whether walk-ins are taken, and outcall isn't offered. Reviewers suggest the reception staff help with the choice of course on arrival, but a message first is the way to secure a particular therapist.

The address is 60 Sukhumvit Soi 18, Khlong Toei. BTS Asok is about 670 m away, an 11-minute walk, and the website gives directions from BTS Asok or MRT Sukhumvit exit 3, about 12 minutes on foot. BTS Phrom Phong is about the same distance. One reviewer calls it a small side trip off the main road.

The door closes at midnight, roughly when the trains stop. Sukebe is one of the shops in the Asok district, and the under ฿2,500 list compares its card with the city's other low starters.

Sukebe Nuru Massage holds a 4.9 Google rating from 38 reviews, and nearly all of the recent ones are five stars.

Cleanliness is the clearest pattern. Reviewers often describe the shop as clean, calm and well organised, and a few mention a pleasant scent in the private rooms. The staff come next: reviewers praise polite, welcoming reception staff, and one says they recommend the right course. Several reviewers name the same therapists, and a few say they have been back more than once. Some also mention good value for the price.

The one complaint is a one-star review about payment. The reviewer says staff didn't explain a 5% charge on card payment and felt overcharged. Ask about card fees before you pay, or bring cash.
