Naturism in Southeast Asia: An Overview

Naturism in Southeast Asia: An Overview

Back in 2018, we went to Asia for the first time. We had been hearing rumours about naturism really getting a foot on the ground in Thailand and we wanted to know what the fuss was all about. What we found were 5 naturist resorts in Thailand and one in Bali that were running very smoothly. It was obvious that this was just the beginning.   A lot has happened since then. The number of … Read more

Harmony Naturist Resort in Phuket, Thailand

Review: Harmony Naturist Resort in Phuket, Thailand

Phuket, despite being not such a big island, is a bustling hub of tourism in Thailand. With about 12 million yearly visitors, it’s not hard to imagine that the island can get pretty busy and that concrete is often a more common sight than nature. Yet, there are still some pristine natural places to be found, mostly secluded beaches and national parks, but also in the form of a naturist resort.   When you find … Read more

Review: Peace Blue Naiharn in Phuket, Thailand

During our initial trip to Thailand five years ago, we discovered the only naturist resort in the Phuket region, which was known as Lemon Tree Resort. It is unfortunate that the resort no longer operates as a naturist establishment today. Nevertheless, Patty and Golf, the dedicated managers of Lemon Tree, have ventured into a new endeavour. They have created a larger, more luxurious resort in a prime location near shops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches.   … Read more

Oriental Beach Village in Phuket, Thailand

Review: Oriental Beach Village in Phuket, Thailand

Thailand has already secured its spot on the naturist vacation map for quite some years, but the only thing the country kept missing was a nude beach. Until recently, when a new naturist resort called Oriental Beach Village opened on Ko Kho Khao island and secured a section on the beach for the guests to be used Au Naturel.   Getting the opportunity to go naked on a beach in Thailand was reason enough for … Read more

Naturist Resort Bali Natur in Bali: Review

Review: Naturist Resort Bali Natur in Bali

A good decade ago, we heard one story after the other about naturist resorts either closing their doors or turning textile. It appeared like the big wave of naturists that started in the early seventies was coming to an end and resort owners took action to save their businesses. Maybe not the right action, because today, it feels as if the tide has turned again.   More and more people are finding their way to … Read more

Review: Naturist Resort Gecko in Bali

For the longest time, there was only one naturist resort in Bali. But since 2023, two more have opened their doors. This was reason enough for us to hop on a plane to Denpasar and go have a look at what’s new on the menu for the naturist traveller. Our first stop was Resort Gecko, which is very conveniently located less than 30 minutes from the airport.     How to get to Resort Gecko … Read more

Review: Dragonfly Naturist Village in Pattaya, Thailand

After travelling around the world for almost 6 years now, we think that we got quite a good idea of what the naturist market has to offer. And maybe more importantly, we’re starting to see interesting trends. In previous blog posts, we’ve already mentioned the uprise of luxury naturism, and we often say that today, you can find everything in the naturist tourism world that you can also find in clothed tourism. But that is … Read more

Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand: Revisited

Revisited: Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand

During our initial visit to Thailand in 2018, we noticed that naturism was on the rise. In just over five years, five naturist resorts had opened their doors. Less than a year later, that number had increased to eight. However, over the last few years, several of these resorts have closed down, while new ones have emerged.   COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the naturist tourism scene in Thailand, resulting in a complete … Read more

Revisited: Barefeet Naturist Resort in Bangkok, Thailand

It has been 5 years since we last visited Thailand, almost to date. So we were very much looking forward to seeing what has changed and what we would still recognise. The world turns fast, but one could wonder how much can be different in just half a decade. These are not normal times though.   When we first visited Thailand, naturism in the country was still kinda in its infancy. There were several resorts, … Read more

Naturist vacations in South Africa: An Overview

For 3 whole months, we’ve travelled through South Africa in search of what the country has to offer to the naturist traveller. The least we can say is that we’ve been overwhelmed by the natural beauty of this country. Even if we wouldn’t have had a single chance to get naked, it would definitely still have been worth every minute of the trip. But luckily, we did get opportunities to enjoy South Africa without clothes. … Read more
