Membership
NAT promotes classical non-sexual naturism in the legacy of Sarin Foothai and in line with Thai laws. 2 Naturist Association of Thailand: Our History
“As naturists are not exposing themselves in public, there is no offence committed. The law does not regulate nudity in private and we are therefore only nude in a private resort or home. That said, we would like to see some sections of beaches or remote beaches being defined as clothing-optional out of view of people who dislike seeing undressed people.” 3 Naturism in Thailand
Activities
Members meet at resorts and in private homes for barbeques or picnics and other organized events like the Annual Thailand International Naturist Conference out of public view. Membership is free to anyone who is interested in naturism. A magazine was also starred recently. 4 Naturism in Thailand
“The naturist movement is still in the beginning stages in Thailand but will catch up to Europe, Australia, and America within a few years as more people realize the positive and healthy aspects of naturism. Naturism attracts quality visitors and guests both international and local all year long and the repeat guest rate to a naturist resort is higher than regular hotels and resorts so more resorts here in Thailand look for ways to increase their booking occupancy during low season,” 5Moeller quoted Naturism in Thailand Initially published in “Bangkok Trader” (June 2013, Vol. 7, No. 7)
