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
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
In the not-so-distant past, naturism was primarily limited to certain regions of Europe and North America. While clubs and associations attempted to offer year-round activities, being naked in natural surroundings was often reserved for the most adventurous during specific seasons. However, the landscape has significantly transformed over the past few decades. Today, an increasing number of countries are embracing naturism and establishing dedicated facilities for naturist vacations. This remarkable shift means that there is … Read more
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
After pretty much a decade and a half of being naturists, we sometimes seem to find it difficult to understand what it’s like to be a newbie naturist. To us, it feels so natural. It’s something we don’t even think about anymore. In fact, we often need to remind ourselves to put on clothes when we happen to stay at a non-naturist place. To regain our understanding of newbie naturists, we used ChatGPT to … Read more
You are not going to believe this… The other day, we received a message from a reporter at an online magazine, asking us to comment on a message from a reader who feels uncomfortable when his nudist girlfriend spends time naked with her dog. Even claiming that “it’s something out of an illegal adult movie for her to be naked with an animal all the time”. We thought it was a joke. Until we … Read more
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
Spring is in the air in the northern hemisphere. We can see it in our mailbox and on our social media, one after the other naturist campsite in Europe and the USA have started opening their doors for another season of receiving naked guests. Back in the days when we were still having day jobs in Belgium, this was the time of the year when we would head into the basement to find our camping … Read more
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
We remember a time when, if we wanted information about something, we had to jump on our bicycles and ride to the library. Where we had to scan through the books, looking for one that may answer our questions. We had to make sure to pick the right books because the limit was 4 at a time. And we also had to reserve time for reading, because after 3 weeks the books needed to be … Read more
