What Soapy massage is
Soapy massage is the Thai bath-house format, ab ob nuat (อาบอบนวด, “bathe, steam, massage”). A session starts with a bath and a lathered wash in a private room with a large tub and an air mattress. Classic Soapy venues are large buildings with a reception area and many rooms; some smaller Sukhumvit venues also offer a Soapy option alongside Nuru. Read Nuru vs Soapy for a full comparison.
Where to find Soapy venues
In Bangkok, the large bath-houses are concentrated in Ratchada & Huai Khwang, with smaller venues in Asok and Phrom Phong. Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Phuket each have a handful of listings.
