It’s early April and we find ourselves in a hotel room in Thailand. It’s already after ten pm, a time at which we normally prefer not to engage in any Skype calls anymore, but this time we happily made an exception. Skype rings a couple of times and the screen changes. On the other side of the line, we find Willow, who’s in New York City, about the other side of the world, and who … Read more
Have you ever heard about Songkran? Well, don’t worry if you haven’t, until a month of two before we also had no idea what it is. Long story short, Songkran is the Thai new year. In fact, it used to be the Thai new year, because since 1940 the government has set the official new year’s date to the first of January, to be more aligned with the west. But yet Songkran is still celebrated … Read more
UPDATE 2024: Unfortunately, after 5 beautiful years we’ve decided to put a hold on this project. It’s been fun, but we have other priorities now and just can’t put the time into NUDE that it deserves. Thanks everyone for your contributions, and, of course, there’s always Naked Wanderings and Destination Clothes Free to research your future travels. During our travels around the world we meet a lot of other nudists and what kind of … Read more
Thailand has been a famous tourist destination for decades. The mix of year-round great temperatures, blinding white beaches, incredible fauna and flora, and delicious food attracts millions of holidaymakers every year. And yet, few know that naturism in Thailand has seen steady growth during the last years. At the moment the country already has a lot to offer for the naked traveler. With already eight naturist resorts in 2019, Thailand is number one in Asia … Read more
When we walked through the gate of The Oriental Village, the only word that immediately came to mind was: “WOW”. What a beautiful place, something we could have never expected when the taxi driver dropped us off in front of the building at the end of the road. Maybe it was the tropical garden that did the trick or maybe it was the nice row of white cottages, but we felt that it was something … Read more
NOTE: There is a 2023 version available of this blog post HERE. Although we’ve had a wonderful time at Phuan Naturist Village, we can understand that if you want to spend your holidays in the middle of the action ( or in our case, blow a load of money on wine and delicious Belgian food at the amazing restaurant Patrick), you do want to stay in the center of Pattaya City. And that’s exactly … Read more
In a side road of the main motorway between Pattaya City and Sattahip, you will find the Phoenix Golf Club… Well, that’s pretty interesting if you’re into playing golf, but for us, this was only the sign to look at the other side of the road because according to our map this was where we should find Phuan Naturist Village, the latest addition to the growing list of resorts affiliated with Naturist Association Thailand. … Read more
The next lap of our journey through Thailand brought us to the very south of the country. Much closer to the border with Malaysia than to the country’s capital we arrived at the semi-island Phuket. Little more than 13 years ago, Phuket among many other famous beach destinations in South-East Asia, unfortunately, made the world news because of the devastating results of the tsunami of December 26th, 2004. Fortunately, today the only evidence of … Read more
UPDATE: There is a new (2023) version of this review, read it here. Finally. For a very long time, we had been looking forward to coming to Thailand, especially after our issues in finding a decent spot to get naked in other parts of Asia. This was going to be a country with opportunities for naturists, a country where we would be able to spend days and days in the nude. And Barefeet Resort would be … Read more
You probably thought we were crazy when you got the news that we were going to Bali. After spending a month complaining about the lack of nudist opportunities in Sri Lanka, we picked an Island in Muslim Indonesia as our next destination… Now we don’t have to tell you that in Indonesia nude beaches are nonexisting, so why Bali? Bali isn’t exactly known as a nude vacation destination, but we had a very good … Read more
