Greetings from a quiet alley off Sridonchai Road. Dolphin Spa suits travellers who want a short, clear menu: one nuru session and one longer package, with no add-on maze. It holds a 4.3 Google rating from 93 reviews, and reviewers keep praising the owner, who is described again and again as kind and helpful.

Skip it if you judge a ฿2,500 hour against Bangkok prices. Several lower-rated reviews say sessions felt rushed or ran short, and that the money buys more in the capital. A couple also note dated decor. If you go, agree the time at the start. Compare it with others in the nuru guide to Chiang Mai and the Night Bazaar guide.

Dolphin Spa is a nuru massage shop that is also listed for happy ending massage. According to its website, it opened in 2017 and reopened in February 2023. It describes a Japanese-style nuru massage on an air mattress, and says it's the only Dolphin Spa branch, warning visitors about copycat shops using the name.

There's a lineup, and its website says the masseuses are introduced by name rather than by number tag. Rooms are private. Two reviewers mention a bath or jacuzzi as part of the visit.

The shop's contact speaks English and Chinese. Reviewers say the masseuses' English varies, though: two found their masseuse spoke little English, and one got by with a translation app. If language matters to you, ask during the lineup.

Recorded price information lists two items:

• Nuru session 60 min: ฿2,500
• Massage package 90 min: ฿3,500

The 60-minute nuru session is the cheapest. Reviewers who paid ฿3,500 for 90 minutes and ฿2,500 for an hour confirm those prices. Some found them fair, and others felt Bangkok gives more for the same money.

Its website advertises cashless payment, and the listing names WeChat Pay and Alipay. Whether cash or cards are taken isn't published, so check when you book. You can book on LINE, WhatsApp, Telegram or WeChat. One reviewer booked a 3pm slot ahead and was happy with it, and another dropped by in the day to check prices and came back that night. Its walk-in policy isn't published.

The address is 17, 17/1 Sridonchai Road, Tambon Phra Sing, Mueang Chiang Mai. We list it under the Night Bazaar and Chang Khlan district. Several reviewers call it hidden or tucked into a secluded alley, so follow the map pin closely or message the shop for directions.

Chiang Mai has no metro. A Grab, a red songthaew or a tuk-tuk will get you there, or a scooter if you have one. It's open every day from 12:00 to 00:00, so a late lunch or an evening after the market both work.

It suits first-timers who want two clear prices, a friendly host and a lineup with names. It also suits Chinese-speaking visitors, since the shop's contact speaks Chinese and the app payments are set up.

It's a weaker fit if you want a long, unhurried session and are comparing prices with Bangkok, or if you care about modern decor. For more choice across Chiang Mai, see the city page.

Dolphin Spa holds a 4.3 Google rating from 93 reviews, with a clear split between warm five-star reviews and a handful of sharp complaints.

On the positive side, the most consistent theme is the owner and reception: reviewers often describe the lady owner as kind, friendly and helpful. Several call it a small, hidden shop with a warm welcome, and a few call it good value.

The complaints repeat too. Several reviews say the session felt rushed or ended early, with one saying a paid hour lasted about 40 minutes. Several compare it unfavourably with Bangkok at similar prices. Two mention dated decor or tired facilities, and two describe a language gap with their masseuse. Wish you were here? Agree the timing up front and most of these are easy to avoid.
