Body to Body Massage in Bangkok: What You Need to Know
Body to body massage is one of Bangkok's most sought-after massage experiences. Unlike traditional massage where only hands touch your body, B2B massage uses full body contact to deliver deeper relaxation and sensory stimulation.
This guide explains what body to body massage involves, the different types available, and what to expect during your session.
What is Body to Body Massage?
Body to body massage, often called B2B massage, is exactly what the name suggests. Your therapist uses their entire body to massage yours. Instead of relying solely on hands and elbows, they glide their body across your skin using oil, lotion, or specialized gel.
The continuous skin-to-skin contact creates sensations that hands alone cannot replicate. The weight and warmth of another body applies natural pressure across larger muscle groups simultaneously.
B2B massage originated in Japan but has become popular throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand. Bangkok is now home to many establishments offering various styles of body to body massage.
Types of B2B Massage
Nuru Massage (Japanese Style)
Nuru massage is the original body to body technique from Kawasaki, Japan. The word "Nuru" translates to "slippery" in Japanese.
What makes Nuru distinct:
- Special gel - Made from Nori seaweed, creating extreme slipperiness
- Full body contact - Your therapist glides across your entire body
- Technique-focused - Specific movements and positions developed over decades
- Both parties covered - The gel covers both you and your therapist
The Nuru gel is colorless, odorless, and deeply moisturizing. It washes off easily with water and leaves skin feeling soft.
Lotion B2B Massage
Lotion-based B2B uses premium massage lotion instead of gel. The experience differs from Nuru in several ways:
- Less slippery than Nuru gel
- Allows for more targeted pressure
- Familiar sensation for those new to B2B
- Similar technique with different glide
Both styles deliver the core B2B experience: full body contact between therapist and client.
What to Expect During Your Session
Before Your Massage
Your session begins with preparation:
- Shower - You'll shower to cleanse your skin before starting
- Preparation - The massage area is prepared with waterproof covers
- Gel or lotion warming - Your therapist warms the product before application
- Brief consultation - Discuss any preferences or concerns
The shower is essential. Clean skin allows better glide and keeps the gel or lotion sanitary.
During Your Massage
Once prepared, your therapist applies warm gel or lotion to both of your bodies. They then use flowing movements to massage your muscles through body contact.
The session typically includes:
- Back massage - Your therapist glides along your back and shoulders
- Leg work - Body slides along your legs and thighs
- Front massage - After turning over, work continues on your front
- Arm and chest - Full coverage of your upper body
Your therapist adjusts pressure based on your feedback. The experience can range from light and sensual to firm and therapeutic.
After Your Massage
Sessions end with a relaxation period:
- Rest - A few minutes to enjoy the post-massage calm
- Shower - Rinse off the gel or lotion
- Refresh - Towels and refreshments provided
The gel washes off completely in seconds. Your skin will feel moisturized and soft.
Benefits of Body to Body Massage
People choose B2B massage for several reasons:
Physical benefits:
- Full-body relaxation through sustained contact
- Muscle tension release across larger areas
- Skin moisturization from quality gel or lotion
- Improved circulation from body heat and pressure
Mental benefits:
- Deep stress relief
- Mental relaxation and escape
- Novel sensory experience
- Complete disconnection from daily concerns
The combination of physical contact, warmth, and skilled technique creates relaxation that differs from traditional massage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is body to body massage legal in Bangkok?
Massage is a regulated and legal industry in Thailand. Reputable establishments operate openly with proper business licenses.
What should I wear during a B2B massage?
You will be undressed during the massage. The nature of body to body contact requires skin-to-skin contact. Towels are provided for modesty before and after the session.
How is B2B different from regular oil massage?
Regular oil massage uses hands, elbows, and sometimes forearms. B2B massage uses the therapist's full body. The sensation, pressure distribution, and experience are completely different.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
Arrive with recently showered skin or plan to shower at our shop. Avoid heavy meals before your session. Let your therapist know about any injuries or sensitive areas.

First-timers often start with 60 minutes to experience the technique. Regular clients typically prefer 90 or 120 minutes for deeper relaxation. The longer sessions allow time for more thorough work.
