Nuru vs Soapy vs Erotic Massage: Which Is Right for You?
A complete comparison guide to help you choose your perfect massage experience at Dragon Heart Bangkok.
What Is Nuru Massage?
Nuru massage is a Japanese body-to-body technique using nuru gel made from seaweed extract. Your therapist applies warm, ultra-slippery gel and uses their entire body to massage yours on a specially prepared mattress. The word 'nuru' means 'slippery' in Japanese — and the experience lives up to the name. At Dragon Heart Bangkok, nuru sessions run 40, 60, or 90 minutes starting from ฿3,800.
What Is Soapy Massage?
Soapy massage is a Thai massage tradition performed on an inflatable air mattress with warm water and aromatic soaps. Your therapist creates a rich lather and uses body-to-body sliding combined with bathing techniques. It's equal parts massage and bathing ritual — refreshing, relaxing, and uniquely Thai. Dragon Heart offers 60 and 90-minute soapy sessions from ฿4,500.
What Is Erotic Massage?
Erotic massage at Dragon Heart Bangkok is our fully customizable 'Build Your Own' experience. You choose every detail — base massage style, duration, room, add-ons, and therapist. Want a jacuzzi? Add it. Prefer a nuru gel upgrade? Done. It's designed for guests who know exactly what they want. Sessions start from just ฿1,500.
