  Thoroughly enjoyed my first stay here.

Naturism is new to me and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Arrived via transport arranged by the resort as I’m sure I... read more would have lost my way (Google Maps wasn’t very accurate about the directions once it’s near the resort - Apple Maps is better).

It was dinner time when I arrived and the staff checked us in with a warm hospitality.

IMHO - this is the perfect place to chill and do nothing. I was actually planning to visit nearby attractions, or head into town but ended up staying in for the entirety of my 4D3N here. The furthest I went was just short walks around the countryside where I stumbled upon a temple

I’m amazed by how I can just spend the whole day doing nothing but chill - work out at the gym area (basic, old but functional equipment), laze by the pool (too small for long laps, but good enough with a jacuzzi), read under the huts in the garden, take pictures of, and with the beautiful garden and mountain and field in the background.

This place has a variety of activities - from dart boards, to badminton, ping pong, pool table, petang, etc

The wifi was generally strong and I didn’t need to use my tourist SIM card at all.

And the best part -

No judgements or expectations. More than anything else, this was really a place that helped me to relax.

Nudity isn’t always mandatory. Some guests chose to be clothed at times, and go naked at other times. So it’s all up to you. I didn’t feel any pressures when I was there, and felt perfectly comfortable walking around nude or not.

And it helped also that there were vegetarian options on the menu. We ended up having all our meals in the restaurant at the resort. The menu included both Thai and western options. Prices for mains range between 100 baht and 400, while drinks start from 20 baht for 600ml of mineral water to 150 for a glass of wine.

Shower wasn’t perfect in our cottage (no. 11), but we learnt how to get the water hot enough by not turning the water on full blast.

  Paolo at the Oriental Village has created a most beautiful, low-key naturist space, perfect for a deeply relaxing experience. Set amidst gorgeous grounds in a landscape of jungle and rice-paddies... read more and with only the beautiful sounds of birds breaking the silence, this is close to nature! The gracious, smiling staff led by Aew are wonderful and the property is spotlessly clean.
All the best with this wonderful place Paolo - and your future plans in Phuket!

  I've visited this place during Songkran festival. It feels natural, and comfortable. But the place was quite hard to find and weather is hot.

Why this app needs... read more more character? I have noting more to say.

  Visited in mid January with my wife. We were picked at the Airport by the Hotel. There is a charge of 700 Baht for one way and this has to... read more be paid to the hotel. It took us approximately 45 minutes to reach the resort from the Airport. We had to enter through a door which was on the side of the main reception area. We were warmly welcomed by a girl whose name was Yu. She was very pleasant and showed us to our chalet no 11. We had a nice view of the rice fields at the boundary of the resort and the distant mountains. The area was very clam and you can only hear the chirping of the birds. The chalet was quite comfortable and spacious. Bed was super comfy. Only down side was that the water from the shower had a sulfur smell and you can’t get the water heated to the temperature you need. Since the morning and evening a quite chilly this is a disadvantage.
There were few other couples and singles occupying few other chalets. Everyone was very friendly and quite comfortable being fully nude though it is not mandatory. The resort was ideal for a quiet restful holiday. It has a small pool, darts, badminton and a gym. Towards the evening the weather becomes very cool. Best time of the day was after the sun has set. Whole place looks like it is out of heaven. Lighting was very dim and it was so quiet and peaceful. Resort has a small restaurant which serves continental or local food. Prices were quite reasonable and and the food was tasty. You can order liquor if you wish.
All over the resort grounds there are huts where you can relax in nude.
However if you are interested in visiting places of interest you have to hire a vehicle but rates are quite high. Resort will organize the vehicles for you. If you want to change your currency suggest that it is done in the city as the rate is much low at the resort.
For those who want to get away from their busy and hectic life we highly recommend this place. We really enjoyed our stay there.
