About Tubtim Massage VIP

Tubtim Massage VIP sits on Thanon Phun Phon (locally romanized Phoonpon Road), the short nightlife strip in central Phuket Town. "Tubtim" is Thai for ruby (ทับทิม), and the venue operates as a nuru and B2B parlor catering primarily to the local and resident-expat market rather than the Patong tourist flow. It opens at 14:00 and runs until 02:00 — a 12-hour window that covers both afternoon and late-night sessions. Google rating sits at 4.7 across 40 reviews, one of the higher-scoring nuru venues in Phuket Town (compared to Katherine Massage at 3.9 / 9 on the same category).

Reviews are mostly strong but the distribution is worth reading carefully. Enes Mannes (5★) called out cleanliness in the rooms, a nice ambience, and hygiene being treated seriously by the masseuse. A 3-week-old 5★ from Zarmax Hermatt simply says "very professional, 100000% guarantee". Against that, a recent 1★ from "Private" (a week ago) documents a specific bad visit — a one-hour session that ran 20 minutes instead, and a ฿1,000 on-the-spot upsell request. Forty reviews is mid-volume; the 4.7 headline is directionally positive but specific outcomes remain lineup-dependent.

What to Know Before You Visit

Phuket Town, not Patong — Phuket Town caters to residents and long-stay visitors; the Patong Beach nuru options (Christin at 3.4 / 225, Nuru Massage Phuket at 4.3 / 179) sit closer to tourist flow but carry different review profiles
Phun Phon (Phoonpon) Road is a small local night strip — Angel Massage (4.0 / 147) is on the same road; Tubtim sits a few numbers down. The area is low-key rather than neon-heavy
Confirm session length before starting — the 1★ "Private" review specifically flags a shortened session plus an unexpected ฿1,000 extra ask. Asking the mama-san to confirm duration and total in writing before you pay avoids this
12-hour operation — 14:00 to 02:00 daily. Not as broad as Patong beach-front parlors but wider than most Phuket Town massage shops
40 reviews is a small sample — compared to Sea Massage Phuket (4.9 / 2,013) or Phuket Island Massage Spa (4.7 / 230), Tubtim's rating is directionally strong but based on less data. Read the recent reviews, not just the average

Location & Transport

Tubtim is in central Phuket Town, on Thanon Phun Phon in Talat Nuea subdistrict. By car or Grab the venue is ~30 minutes from Phuket International Airport (HKT) and ~35 minutes from Patong Beach. On the same road: Angel Massage Phuket (4.0 / 147) a short walk north. In the wider Phuket Town category: Sea Massage (4.9 / 2,013 — massage, not nuru), Phuket Island Massage Spa (4.7 / 230 — massage), Bunnys Club / Happy Massage Phuket (4.5 / 17), Madonna Massage VIP (4.8 / 13), and Katherine Massage (3.9 / 9 — the other nuru-B2B entry in Phuket Town). For nuru specifically in Patong, Nuru Massage Phuket (4.3 / 179) and Christin Massage (3.4 / 225) are the comparables; Nuru Spa in Rawai (4.7 / 40) is the southern-Phuket alternative.

Common Questions

Where exactly is Tubtim Massage VIP in Phuket?

Central Phuket Town, on Thanon Phun Phon (Phoonpon Road) at 74 181, in Talat Nuea subdistrict. Roughly 30 minutes by car from Phuket International Airport and 35 minutes from Patong Beach. Angel Massage Phuket is on the same road for reference.

Is the Google 4.7 rating reliable?

It's 4.7 across 40 reviews — directionally positive, but 40 is a small sample compared to Sea Massage Phuket (2,013 reviews) or Phuket Island Massage Spa (230). Read the most recent reviews before going — Enes Mannes' 5★ is positive about hygiene and cleanliness, but a 1-week-old 1★ from "Private" reports a short-changed session and an on-the-spot ฿1,000 upsell.

How does Tubtim compare to Patong nuru options?

Rating-wise, Tubtim's 4.7 / 40 sits above Patong's Nuru Massage Phuket (4.3 / 179) and well above Christin Massage (3.4 / 225), though both Patong venues have larger review counts. Location-wise, Phuket Town is 30+ minutes from Patong by car — convenient if you're staying in town or near the airport, less so from Patong Beach hotels.

How do I avoid the "shortened session + extra charge" issue?

The 1★ review from "Private" (a week ago) flagged a 1-hour booking that ran 20 minutes plus a ฿1,000 on-the-spot extra. Confirm session duration and total price with the mama-san before any payment — ideally in writing or through a photographed menu board. This is standard practice for nuru venues across Thailand, not specific to Tubtim.

What are the operating hours?

14:00 to 02:00 daily — 12 hours. Covers afternoon and late-night windows. Call +66 96 324 9888 to confirm capacity for the day, especially on weekends when the Phoonpon strip gets busier.

Enes Mannes

★★★★★ a year ago

I was skeptical at first, but the business is very reputable. There is cleanliness in the rooms and a nice ambience. the ladies are pretty and nice, the service is very professional. What I liked most is that the lady placed great importance on hygiene!

They didn’t provide a service for girls! I’m, bisexual, and came in with my husbo all the way from the south of Phuket, only for them to say, “We don’t do girls here, but we can do him”. I’m SUPER disappointed, especially since they also gave me such DISRESPECTFUL LOOKS, both from the manager and the girls. We went to a lot of massage places from around the world, yet this is the first time I have faced such a huge discrimination!
