Nirvana Massage 1

nirvanajpg

Another small full-service but seemingly innocent massage joint. Foot massage, Thai massage and oil massage is offered. Typically people go for the 500 baht oil massage in the VIP room. Which is a small private room. From there it is all between you and the girl. 500 for hand, 1500 for full meal deal and 2000 for supersize option but it is not clear what that means. Not a lot of stunners but the service is good and they specialize in the oily. Think soapy but on the massage table and lots of oil.

5 Reviews for “Nirvana Massage 1”


  1. 1 I Phukit

    It was the dark-skinned, bright smiled beauty sitting outside that drew me into this place. I opted for the 400 baht shared room and wound up the only one in there, making it a nice private room. The massage started off pretty basic and boring until things heated up the second hour, as she explained to me that this wasn’t just you everyday massage joint. When I asked her what was on the menu, she replied with huge smile “Everything”. Without discussing prices, we proceeded to get down and and dirty as she took care of relieving me of a days worth of man-juice. After the full deal was done I asked her if 1000 baht was ok and she said “Perfect” as I am not sure who walked away happier, me or her. I want to go back now!

    Dear Customer,
    Yesterday we investigated about what happened and now our mind is clear.
    We talked to the lady and she basically admitted to be guilty. I read your email to her and she agreed at 80% of what you said. The 20% of disagreement regards the request of an additional payment of 1500 baht for a body to body. She said she understood that you wanted to know the price for BtoB, not that you have to pay more for that! If she said the truth to me or not I will never know, but what I know for sure, as I have been living in Thailand for over 10 years and I speak Thai, is that a verbal misunderstanding between a Thai and a farang is extremely common; therefore I cannot rule out that both of you are “bona fide”. Nevertheless this does not decrease the weight of the main problem: a bad service to the customer.
    For all these reasons the management of Nirvana Massage Centre took and already applied the following decision.

    1) Khun Oen has been fired yesterday with immediate effect (nobody will ever see her in our premises anymore).

    2) As you get only half of the time of the massage service you paid, we offer to reimburse to you the 50% of the price you paid to the shop (450 baht), that you can come to take anytime from tomorrow Saturday 7th in our shop, just showing your passport (so we are sure to give the money to you and not to anybody else).

    3) We cannot be held responsible for any problem regarding the private deal between you and Oen for the simple reason that our shop has no involvement of any kind whatsoever with any treatment beyond a normal massage, as described in our price list and for which the customer pay. Oen herself admitted that she “sometimes” tells the customer “fantasy stories” about money she should pay to the shop with the exclusive purpose to get more money from the customer. This is, by the way, the main reason why we fired her.

    I understand that a “bad experience” cannot ever be fully repaired in any way; but everything we can do to, at least, partially, to fix a problem, we always did and we will always do.
    I take the last statement of your email ” I hope the market is transparent enough to show you that quality still matters by sweeping your business in the trash” as the obvious outburst of a disappointed person and I will pass over it. We had over 40,000 satisfied customers and 5/6 complaints in these 6 years: this is the transparency of our shop.

    You are welcome to come to pick up you reimbursement any time (possibly within one week).
    Best regards
    Nirvana Massage Centre - The Manager

    P.S.: I rated this with 4 stars just because for this system the rating is mandatory and considering the average satisfaction of our customer, I think this rating is appropriate, whatever YOU think

    Dear Nirvana Team,

    Yesterday I had an unpleasant short hour with your Khun Oen in the VIP room. But lets start with the start.

    It was quite easy to find Nirvana massage at Suk 23. It is one of the several massage shops lined up like pearls on a string. I would never entered that venue, if I did not read all the positive critics and complaisant commentaries in the known forums. When I arrived at the shop Khun Oen was the only one available for a massage job. Later I learned that there seems to be just one VIP room and, therefore, no need for a greater selection. At least not in the eye of the business owner.

    In the VIP room we discussed the special prices and they are 1000/BJ, 1500 body2body and 2000 full service. Thats not low at all, but as expected from the Internet. I took the full service offer and everything within 2 hours for a 900 fee for the management. That makes total 2900. After this decision was made Khun Oen told me to take a shower and to wait till she returns. Later I experienced that she will leave the room three additional times for whatever reason.

    OK, after she was back and she started the massage she told me about her bad situation in the shop. She gets no salary at all and, even worse, has to pay 200 to the boss for one hour and 400 for a two hour massage. She said ?The boss charges you and the boss charges me?. Ok, I do not want to hear these economics when I am concentrating on a massage deal. Maybe you should advise your stuff not to disclose the business model to every customer as a cause for a big tip.

    Lets skip some intimate details now. She seems to have big problems with a big penis and it was neither fun nor pleasure to see her doing the deal mechanical in the shortest possible time at all.

    After the first deal was done she told me that I have to pay more to get anything. I declined to pay additional 1500 for a body2body and then she obviously handled my body during the following massage in a way that let me go to the shower fifty minutes after I entered the VIP room.

    Its not because of the total amount of money. But after having experienced some great things in Bangkok I qualify it as a real rip-off to pay 2000 for ten minutes sex - ignoring the additional 900. I really don’t understand how you have been able to establish such a good reputation in the Internet.

    By the way, the VIP room is very small and basic. The lights and the music are nice, but is remains a total rip-off. I hope the market is transparent enough to show you that quality still matters by sweeping your business in the trash.

    Your non-repeating customer

    I read this review just in this page and I decided to try. First of all I have to say that there was a small number of girls outside (just 4 I remember) and on an average beauty level, not much appealing from outside then. But as the above review was favorable then I stepped in and I did not even choose the lady: I got what they gave me. Honestly, among the small group she would have been my last choice: not young not beautiful but tall and fortunately not fat. She took me upstair to the room. Well, inside the story look much different. The room is not so big but it has nice sexy b/w picture (good quality) there is a big mirror and everything looks nice and clean. I got a shower and when I was back in the room, surprise!, the normal light were off and some sort of multicolored light were calmly flashing on the ceiling giving a sort of watery relaxing atmosphere. The girl had changed her uniform into a more practical one. She started relaxing my upper back body but with a massage technique that I never got before in any massage parlor in BKK: I would say very sexy. She did not miss ANY part of my body and when I turn I was ready….for anything. The deal with her was quite simple, we arrange a FS for 1500, that is a normal rate around, but her service was definitively better than any other I had before (Angel, Teen, Matsutake, Tulip, Annie’s, just to mention a few). It was not a plain straight bang, but something much more intriguing and complete. Very satisfactory, hard to explain in details. I will wait a couple of days and then I will go back there. The problem is: should I take the same girl or should I try an other one? My rate has to be 5 because I could not complain in any way….

    As with any place it is all about your individual outing, the girl and so on. Some places my ensure a better hit ratio - say a Tulip or crazy fun - say a Eden. Almost any massage parlor will probably even offer you a handjob. I can’t remember a place I have been to that while getting an oil massage the technician does not offer a release. That being said it is still good fun to look for places that may offer that special something, that special girl or a good value play.

    There are two nirvana locations and I am sure it is the same deal. This trip I went to 23. There were only a few girls and they wear a green colored schoolgirl like outfit. They have a lot of choices on the menu but all basic massage services. They tend to point you to the VIP room massage. 1 or 2 hour. standard room is 400 baht and the VIP room is 500 baht. My guess is that if you don’t get the VIP room it may be hard to get anything other than a handjob. I went VIP one hour.

    They take you to a big room that has a massage table, naked pictures of girls on the wall and dim lighting. I took a shower in an adjacent room. They girl went and changed into a nice thin white tank top and those wrap around thai paints. The fact that she changed, the tank top and the pics were all starting to get to me. She had quite a rack.

    I would not say she gave a therapeutic oil massage but she gave a very decent sensual massage. Was nice. Then when I flipped over she asked if I wanted the special. Sure. What are the options. 500 hj, 1500 body to body and there some was something for 2000 but for the life of me I can’t remember. I had exactly 1380 baht on me. No joke. She said okay.

    Then she got naked. Oiled herself up a tad and started the body to body. Think soapy but slower, with oil and more sensual. Was awesome. Then she used her ample bosom to the best of its ability. ouch.

    Then she grabbed a rubber and went to town. The massage table was plenty sturdy and kind of fun. What can I say. Yes it is basically 2000 baht for a nice rubdown and shag. Not an all out value play but decent for the service and time. I am sure I was in there almost 2 hours but I don’t think they care as long as the house got their cut and the girl was happy.

    Not a lot of stunners but a nice crew. Will check out the 33 branch next.
