We spent a month in Thailand and visited three totally different resorts in this interesting country.
The first was the Chan Resort in Pattaya on the eastern side of the Gulf of Thailand. This is a luxury but moderately priced resort in the heart of Pattaya, an equal distance by songthaew to Pattaya and Jomtien Beaches.

The presentation of the food is immaculate. Breakfast (included in price) is huge – fresh fruit, orange juice, sausage, bacon, eggs, toast with jam and marmalade, salad, coffee or tea. There is fresh fruit, water and tea and coffee available at any time at no extra cost. The staff are very pleasant and can’t do enough for you.
The next resort we checked out has not actually opened up for naturists at this stage but hopefully will soon. It is about 30 minutes from Chiang Mai in the Thailand highlands.

We were their first guests as naturists. They have 14 separate bungalows, which all have pool and mountain views across the rice fields, with grassy areas in front of the bungalows and around the pool, giving it a spacious rural feel. The bungalows all have their own private deck and breezeway which is a great place to keep cool. Our bungalow also had its own outdoor shower (as well as an indoor one). The rooms are very well appointed.
The refreshing swimming pool is great to relax and cool off in.

The views to the surrounding mountains are beautiful and expansive overlooking rice fields.
The resort is situated in a small rural village, about 30 minutes by shuttle to Chiang Mai or 40 minutes to Chiang Mai airport. The taxi fare from Chiang Mai is 600 Baht (about $24NZD).
At present it is not being promoted as naturist but if you are interested in knowing more about this resort, email me (address in side panel of blog) and I will forward you their web page address, once they have confirmed they will become a naturist venue.

Our last naturist venue that we visited in Thailand was Lumra Resort, in a small coastal Thai village. It is named after the small island just off the coast. It has basic but clean and tidy accommodation, reminiscent of the 1960s bach. Our cabin was right on the sea front with a deck in front with views to die for.
The beach in front of the resort is clean with no flotsam – not like the previous beach we visited. Here the water is crystal clear and warm and stretches for miles in both directions. However, there are local villagers living along the coast, so we wore a sarong when walking along the beach. There is a local shop about 1km from the resort, with basic supplies.

We watched the sun rise over the Gulf as fishermen in their boats went out to catch their food.
Meals at the resort are all sourced from food from the local market so it is fresh and tasty, and as a bonus, were delivered to our deck! How good is that?

WOW – what a lovely place this is. It is small and compact with only 13 double rooms. The feeling of luxury and relaxation is written all over it. Our room is spacious and comfortable – very clean and tidy – and right beside the pool.
The pool is refreshing although not cold at all.
