Naowarat Massage

Greetings from Chang Phueak. Naowarat Massage is a low-key pick on Sirithorn Road, well away from the Nimman and Night Bazaar crowds. It suits someone staying around Santitham and Chang Phueak who wants a cheap, simple massage with long daytime hours: its rate card starts at ฿400 and tops out at ฿900 for a body scrub with oil massage. Google files it under erotic massage, but the shop itself publishes nothing beyond plain massage names, and its website is a generic template with no service details. Skip it if you want a clear menu, set session lengths or a big pile of reviews to go on: there are only 7 Google reviews, and the few with text are short and positive. For more choice across town, see our happy ending massage guide to Chiang Mai.

On paper, Naowarat Massage looks like a neighbourhood massage shop. Its rate card lists Thai massage, oil and aroma treatments, a coconut oil massage and a body scrub with oil, nothing more. Google, though, places it in the erotic massage category, which is why it appears in this directory.

What the shop doesn't publish matters as much as what it does. There are no session lengths on the rate card, no list of extra services, no payment methods, no languages spoken and no booking channel. The website exists but carries template text rather than anything specific to this shop. If you need to know exactly what's included or how long a session runs, ask at the counter before you start.

The written Google reviews talk about the massage itself and friendly service, and nothing else. That makes it a fair choice for a straightforward rub-down in a quiet part of town, and a gamble if you're after anything more specific. Wish you were here? Bring a little patience and a clear question.

Its rate card lists nine items. None of them has a duration listed:

• Thai massage + Thai balm: ฿400
• Thai massage: ฿400
• Thai with oil massage: ฿400
• Oil massage: ฿400
• Aroma massage: ฿450
• Aroma lotion massage: ฿490
• Hot oil massage: ฿500
• Coconut oil massage: ฿690
• Body scrub + oil massage: ฿900

The cheapest items are the four at ฿400; the Body scrub + oil massage at ฿900 is the most expensive. Those are modest prices by Chiang Mai standards, and well below what you'd pay at the nuru shops in our Chiang Mai nuru guide.

No booking channel is published, so there's no LINE or WhatsApp to message ahead. With daily hours from 10:00 to 22:00, turning up in the afternoon or early evening is the practical approach. Payment methods aren't listed either, so carry baht in cash.

The address is 57 Sirithorn Rd, Chang Phueak, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300, in the residential north of the city above the Old City moat. Chiang Mai has no metro or skytrain, so there's no station to aim for.

The easiest option is a Grab: paste the address into the app and let the driver find the door. A red songthaew works too if you show the driver the street name, and a scooter with the address pinned on your map is just as easy. From Nimmanhaemin or the Night Bazaar, a Grab is simpler than haggling with a tuk-tuk.

The last listed hour is 22:00, so plan to arrive well before then if you want a longer treatment.

Naowarat suits budget travellers and longer-stay visitors based around Santitham and Chang Phueak who want an inexpensive massage without crossing town. The ฿400 entry price and daily 10:00–22:00 hours make it an easy afternoon stop.

It suits fewer people looking for something clearly defined. The menu sticks to plain massage names, the website says nothing specific, and only 7 people have rated it on Google. If you want a shop that spells out its services and prices in full, browse the wider Chiang Mai directory first.

Naowarat Massage holds a 4.4 Google rating from 7 reviews, a small sample, so treat it as a rough guide rather than a verdict. The recent reviews with text are all five stars and all short.

The recurring theme is the massage itself: reviewers call it good, great or excellent, and one adds that the service was good. Two of the most recent reviews praise the same therapist by name, which suggests some regulars come back to one person.

None of the recent written reviews mentions a complaint, but none goes into any detail either: nobody describes the rooms, the cleanliness, the prices or how long a session lasted. With so little to go on, it's worth asking what each treatment includes and how long it runs before you pay. For shops with longer review histories, see our happy ending massage guide to Chiang Mai.
