Thailand is one of the few destinations where clothes‑free vacations can happen year‑round. Warm temperatures, direct international access, and a small but established network of resorts create a straightforward itinerary for travellers who value comfortable places where they can be without clothes.
What follows is an overview of five naturist resorts, which are all quite different in one way, yet very similar when it comes to vibe and philosophy.
Barefeet Naturist Resort in Bangkok
Inside Thailand’s capital, Barefeet Naturist Resort functions as the calm arrival point after a long flight. Rooms are simple and air‑conditioned, arranged around a compact garden with two swimming pools. Breakfast is included and meals and drinks are available on site. The neighbourhood setting keeps traffic noise low by Bangkok standards, adding to the relaxing atmosphere.
The location makes logistics easy. Airport transfers are short, so you’ll literally be skinny dipping just an hour or two after you’ve set foot on the ground. Also for sightseeing, public transport and taxis are very straightforward.
Being at a rather small guesthouse, expect a relaxed tempo focused on rest, chatting with the other guests, and planning the next legs of a Thailand itinerary rather than nightlife or entertainment.
Chan Resort in Pattaya
In Pattaya, Chan Resort is Thailand’s longest‑running clothes‑free stay and keeps a classic hotel layout. All rooms face the central pool with a garden outlook, which adds both privacy and a consistent quiet. Operations are steady and unfussy, giving guests a predictable routine built around swims, meals, shaded seating, and unhurried afternoons.
Being within reach of downtown Pattaya adds flexibility without changing the on‑site mood. Many guests step out for dinners and beach walks, then return for a few beers around the pool and a chat with the other guests.
Dragonfly Naturist Village in Pattaya
On the edge of the city, Dragonfly Naturist Village is the largest clothes‑free resort in Asia and operates like a small village. Facilities are the main strength: a 20‑meter pool, a Japanese‑style onsen bathhouse, lake‑view outdoor baths, a sauna, a gym, a billiards house, and even an outdoor movie screen, alongside the restaurant serving Thai and international dishes.
The grounds are spacious, with multiple communal areas where guests naturally cross paths or avoid each other as they wish. The variety of options means that you never really have to leave throughout your whole stay, and many guests actually do just that. The social energy is higher here than at smaller resorts. Especially around the pool and in the onsen, conversation starts easily.
Oriental Beach Village in Ko Kho Khao (north of Phuket)
Oriental Beach Village sits on Ko Kho Khao, a quiet island north of Phuket, and offers direct clothes‑free access to a long, often empty beach, which is unique in Asia. Accommodation is in apartments and villas, and a large swimming pool provides a sheltered alternative when the sea is choppy. The on‑site amenities support longer stays with a simple rhythm of beach time, pool time, and meals close at hand.
Ko Kho Khao’s pace is unhurried, with limited off‑site distractions, which is exactly the point for many guests. The ability to step from the property to the sand without changing into swimwear is the signature advantage here.
Peace Blue Naiharn in Phuket
In Phuket’s Rawai area, Peace Blue Naiharn resort adds a boutique-style hotel to Thailand’s clothes‑free map. Suites and villas are modern and well‑kept, with selected units offering private pools or jacuzzis for added privacy.
The property’s layout balances discretion with access, so guests can maintain a quiet routine while still reaching Phuket’s restaurants, viewpoints, and services within a short drive. Most visitors build their days around breakfast and a morning swim, followed by excursions and a relaxed return to the bar in the evening.
Your perfect Thailand naked itinerary
A practical sequence for a first or second visit:
✅ 1. Arrive in Bangkok and stay a few nights at Barefeet Naturist Resort to recover from the flight and to get used to the busy city.
✅ 2. Transfer to Pattaya and head straight to Dragonfly Naturist Village. Get yourself pampered through the many facilities
✅ 3. Take a Grab (Asia’s response to Uber) to Chan Resort and use it as a gateway to Pattaya’s beaches, restaurants, and nightlife. Whenever it gets too much, Chan will prove to be the perfect place to retreat to.
✅ 4. Fly south to Phuket. Transfer up the coast to Ko Kho Khao for Oriental Beach Village to have yourself some beach time and get a sense of what Thailand without mass tourism looks like.
✅ 5. Return to Phuket and finish at Peace Blue Naiharn for a last dose of comfort and easy logistics before departure.

This is just a glimpse of the naturist resorts we visited in Thailand, and which we can personally recommend. But the offer keeps changing, and new resorts tend to pop up regularly. At the time of writing, there’s also Oasis Villa and Harmony Naturist Resort. By November 2025, Red Earth Naturist Homestay will open its doors. All are located in the larger Phuket region.
