Nimman X

Greetings from Nimman. Nimman X is a late-night nuru shop right in the middle of Nimmanhaemin, open from noon until 02:00 and happy to take walk-ins. It suits travellers staying in the Nimman cafe-and-condo belt who want a short trip home, a clear rate card and a private air-conditioned room. Its 5.0 Google rating comes from only 13 reviews, most of them a few words long, so the score is encouraging rather than conclusive. Skip it if you're on a tight budget: the shortest item, a 30-minute body-to-body session, is ฿2,030, and the full service courses run from ฿3,500 to ฿4,500. For more options, compare it with our Chiang Mai nuru massage guide.

Nimman X describes itself as a body-to-body massage parlour in the Nimmanhaemin area. It sits in a large refurbished building where all the rooms are private and air-conditioned. Its menu covers body-to-body sessions, full service courses and a nuru massage option.

The in-house team is small, around four or five on shift, according to its listings. If you'd like more choice, the front desk can call in additional staff, who take 20 to 30 minutes to arrive; that option covers the full service course only, not the massage or body-to-body sessions.

Walk-ins are welcome, and the hours are long: noon to 02:00, every day. Payment methods, languages spoken and booking channels aren't published. Wish you were here? From most Nimman condos, it's a short trip home.

Its rate card lists four items:

• Body to body 30 min: ฿2,030
• Full service 60 min: ฿3,500
• Full service 90 min: ฿4,500
• Full service + Nuru massage 90 min: ฿4,500

The cheapest is Body to body 30 min at ฿2,030. Note that Full service 90 min and Full service + Nuru massage 90 min are listed at the same price, ฿4,500, so if you're booking the longer course, the nuru version costs nothing extra on paper. Confirm at the desk.

No booking channel is published, but the shop accepts walk-ins, so turning up during opening hours is the simplest approach. Payment methods aren't listed, so carry enough cash in baht.

The address is 17 Nimmana Haeminda Rd Lane 7, Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai 50200, on Soi 7 off Nimmanhaemin Road. If you're staying in Nimman, it's a walk. Chiang Mai has no metro or skytrain, so from elsewhere, take a Grab, a red songthaew to Nimmanhaemin Road, or a scooter.

Coming from the Old City or the Night Bazaar, a Grab is the easiest option, and it works at any hour the shop is open. For other shops in the area, see our Nimman guide.

Nimman X holds a 5.0 Google rating from 13 reviews. That's a perfect score, but on a very small sample, and several of the recent reviews are only a word or two long, so read it with some care.

The recurring theme is service. Several reviewers call it good or excellent, and one adds that the shop is clean and comfortable. A visitor from the United States says both the massage and the service were excellent, and two reviewers praise the therapist they saw by name.

There are no complaints among the recent reviews, but there's also little detail: nobody describes prices, wait times or how long sessions actually ran. With such a thin record, it's sensible to confirm the course, the duration and the price at the desk before you start. For a wider choice, see our happy ending massage guide to Chiang Mai.
