Kimono Nuru Massage

Greetings from Bangla Road. Kimono Nuru Massage sits right on Patong's nightlife strip and keeps the late hours to match, open from noon until 04:00 every day, so it suits anyone already out in Patong who wants a nuru massage without a ride across the island. Google reviewers often mention the convenient location and clean, odour-free rooms. Skip it if you want a published price list: there is no rate card and no website, so you agree the price at the counter. The reviews are mixed, with a 4.0 Google rating from 104 reviews, and the repeated complaint is sessions that end well before the time paid for. Agree the length and the total price before you start.

Kimono Nuru Massage is listed as a nuru massage shop, the gel-based body massage style that Patong is known for. Its Google listing places it on Bangla Road, Patong's strip of bars and clubs.

Very little is published beyond that. There is no website, no rate card, no list of languages and no payment details. Reviews suggest the menu is wider than the name: two reviewers describe aromatherapy or aroma oil massages, one of them a couples booking with a male therapist for one partner and a female therapist for the other, so ask at the counter what is available on the night.

For other shops a few minutes' walk away, see the Patong district page.

No prices are published, so there is nothing to quote from a card. Expect to agree the price at reception, and ask three things before you pay: how long the session is, what it includes, and whether anything costs extra. Several Google reviewers say they were asked for more money for parts of the service or that the session ended early with no refund, so clarity up front matters here.

There is no booking channel listed. One reviewer suggests phoning ahead because the booking system felt incomplete, but no phone number or messaging app is published, so arrangements are made in person at the counter. Bring cash, since no payment methods are listed.

If you prefer a shop with a printed menu, the Patong guide and the happy ending massage guide for Phuket list places that publish their prices.

The address is 66/5 Bangla Road, Patong, Kathu District, 83150. Phuket has no metro or train. If you are staying in Patong, walk: Bangla Road is the centre of town. From Phuket Town, Kata, Karon or the airport, take a Grab or a tuk-tuk, but note that Bangla Road itself is closed to traffic in the evening, so you will be dropped at one end and walk in.

It opens at 12:00 and closes at 04:00, every day, so it works as an afternoon stop or a very late one. The Phuket city guide covers the other areas if you are staying elsewhere on the island.

It suits travellers already in Patong at night who want somewhere on the main strip, and couples, given that reviewers describe booking side by side. It suits people less well if a fixed menu and clear prices are what put you at ease: here everything is agreed in person, and the reviews show that experiences vary from therapist to therapist.

One light word of advice: the later the hour on Bangla Road, the more worth it is to settle the details before the door closes.

Kimono Nuru Massage has a 4.0 Google rating from 104 reviews, and the recent ones split sharply between five stars and one.

The most common complaint is time. Several reviewers say the session finished well before the hour they paid for, one describing a paid hour that lasted about 25 minutes and another being told there was no refund for ending early. Related to that, two reviewers mention being asked to pay extra, or receiving a more limited service than they expected. Others describe therapists who seemed tired or uninterested, and one four-star reviewer notes that service quality seems inconsistent between staff.

The positives repeat too. Reviewers often mention the convenient Bangla Road location and rooms that are clean and free of odours, which one compares favourably with nearby parlours. Several five-star reviews praise friendly, professional therapists, and two describe a relaxing aroma oil massage, including a couples booking.

Two reviewers say communication at reception could be better. The overall picture: a handy location with mixed, therapist-dependent results.
