Venus Nuru Massage

Soi 3 is the loud end of Nana, and Venus sits by Nana Square Mall with a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks for neighbours. The card is tidy: oil massage in a shower room from ฿1,800 for 40 minutes, nuru with a bathroom jacuzzi from ฿3,000 an hour, and two-therapist sessions up to ฿7,500 for two hours.

It suits someone who walks in, chooses on the night and pays on the spot, close to the Skytrain and open until 02:00. Skip it if you plan to book a particular therapist in advance: several Google reviewers say the person they reserved wasn't there when they arrived. The 4.2 rating from 68 reviews hides a real split between praise for clean, spacious rooms and complaints about bookings.

The address is 1/23 Soi Sukhumvit 3, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana; the website places it near Nana Square Mall, close to a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks. Its type is nuru, with happy ending massage alongside, and it lists private rooms and oil massage among its services.

Reviewers split on the rooms. Several describe them as clean and spacious, with good privacy. Others say some rooms are dated, the soundproofing only average, or the upstairs run down. Two reviewers question whether the nuru matches the traditional style, one saying the oil isn't authentic nuru gel.

The shop also offers outcall to hotels, homes and apartments, according to its website, with prices on request.

Its rate card lists:

• Oil massage (shower room) 40 min: ฿1,800
• Oil massage (shower room) 60 min: ฿2,200
• Oil massage (shower room) 90 min: ฿2,500
• Nuru massage with bathroom jacuzzi 60 min: ฿3,000
• Nuru massage with bathroom jacuzzi 90 min: ฿3,500
• Nuru massage with bathroom jacuzzi 120 min: ฿4,000
• Nuru massage with two therapists & jacuzzi 60 min: ฿5,500
• Nuru massage with two therapists & jacuzzi 90 min: ฿6,500
• Nuru massage with two therapists & jacuzzi 120 min: ฿7,500

The second and third hours of nuru are cheap by comparison with the first: ฿500 for each extra half hour. One reviewer warns that the prices on the website aren't up to date, so confirm the figure at the desk.

The listing gives cash and PromptPay; the website adds QR payment and US dollars, euros and other currencies. The two-therapist lines put Venus on the four-hands list, and the jacuzzi rooms on the VIP rooms volume.

Venus takes bookings through LINE, Telegram and WeChat. The reviews, though, make a clear case for walking in. Several reviewers say they reserved a named therapist and found her absent on arrival, with others offered instead. A four-star reviewer recommends confirming with the shop beforehand, and a recent one-star reviewer describes the online receptionist as unhelpful. If a particular therapist matters, confirm on the day, and be ready to choose from whoever is there.

BTS Nana is about 390 m away, roughly six minutes on foot, and BTS Phloen Chit about seven. BTS Chit Lom is about 17 minutes. The door is open 12:00 to 02:00, every day, two hours past the last train. The Nana district page maps the other shops around Soi 3.

Venus Nuru Massage holds a 4.2 Google rating from 68 reviews, and they pull in two directions. On the positive side, Google reviewers often mention clean, spacious rooms and good value, and many name the therapists they liked; Coco appears more than once.

The complaints have a clear pattern too. Several reviewers say bookings for a specific therapist weren't honoured, and one recent reviewer calls the roster small and the online receptionist unhelpful. Two describe the rooms as dated or run down upstairs. Two question whether the nuru is the traditional kind, and one says the website prices are out of date. Walk in, choose on the night, and confirm the price first.
