Thailand Natursim and Nudism

[bruceeverett]

Feb 2010

My wife and I have just returned from a months vacation in Thailand that included visits to the two clothing optional resorts, one lonely 1.5 kilometer beach, a deserted island with a 500 meter white sand beach and crystal clear water, and a nude cruise.

There are places to go nude and get an all over tan in Thailand you just have to have the right information. I get mine from www.Thailandnaturist.com. We stayed at www.ChanResort.com which is clothing optional resort in Pattaya, only an hour and a half from Bangkok.

We made this our headquarters for the month. Chan Resort is a small 9 petite villa resort between Pattaya and Jomtien. It is run by the Chan family, which really cares for the temperament of naturists. You can be nude at the pool around your villa and sometimes going to and from the pool. There will be some folks with clothes on so you have to be a strong naturist. You can not be nude in the eating area or office. You will need your towel or a Pakama (a short Thai sarong) which are nice and cheap and should cost less than 4 dollars. Mr. Chan will usually come out and bring you a nice cold young coconut to drink. A standard American breakfast is served starting at 0800 hrs.

We made a nude cruise to a deserted island from Pattaya on the 23 meter boat Edina. Where the boat anchored it was 10 meters deep water and was as clear as looking in a glass of water. Of course as soon as we were out of the port off came the clothes, some folks hit the sun deck, others the lounge, and a couple just sat in the fighting chairs and soaked up the rays. We swam to the beach we had a nice barbeque, then snorkeled and enjoyed ourselves on the beach.

We also made a day trip to Koh Larn island and visited the clothing optional beach that is developing there. You can take a slow boat or a fast boat to the island and then a Songkaw Taxi to Samae Beach. Once at Samae Beach go to the most southern part away from the resort areas. There are two trees that will give you some shade. You can rent lunge chairs from the resort, they will charge you about 300 baht (less than ten dollars). If you get hungry put on a wrap and go to the resort, place your order and they will bring it to you.

Later in the month we rented a car in Pattaya (brought my own GPS with Thai chip) and drove to www.thai-bamboo.de (we used Google Translate to translate the website from German to English) in Cha Am. It is about 1.5 to 2 hour drive from Bangkok and is an easy drive. We planned to stay at Thai-Bamboo for 4 days and also visit Hua Hin.

Of course we visited the lonely 1.5 kilometer beach in Cha Am. The beach is beautiful and the only place we have found Sand Dollars in Thailand. The water here is much better than the beaches in Pattaya. Thai-Bamboo is out of town so a car is needed or you can arrange with Rudy the owner to get you there and back.

Thanks for the interesting information. We were in Thailand a couple of years ago. Loved it, but I would have sworn there wouldn't be any naturist opportunities.

Very useful post.
Even though I live in Asia, I was unaware Thailand had naturist resorts and even a naturist association. According to traditional values, even topless bathing is usually not admitted or at least frowned upon by the Thai.
But because of its popularity as a tourist destination - with the exception of political troubles coming to a head this weekend - the naturist sector could grow tremendously.
