We booked here in September .when we arrived nearby we couldn’t find the resort so we called the owner who mocked me for not finding the directions.
I asked him... read more 4 times before we arrive if there were other occupants to which he never replied.

On arrival we found we were the only guests and the resort was extremely shabby and run down so we decided to cancel and not stay there.

This is when the very rude owner Paolo started a tirade of abuse to me and my girlfriend,threatening us with police ,and saying he will inform all nudist resorts of us.

I told him to get lost and fellow nudists must know that this place is absolutely terrible and that no money should be spent there or time wasted as they won’t have a good time.

I’m appalled by the owners behaviour ,there’s obviously something wrong with him.

Thailand has great nudist resorts like Peace Blue in Phuket or Chan resort in Pattaya so trust me ,you don’t need to stay here.

It’s dirty,there’s no pool lounges with cushions and the rooms are decrepit ,dirty and not worth the money.

The owner will probably try and get this review deleted. More

  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!

  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.

  We stayed here for one week in mid November at this very charming rural resort. Our room number 15 was very comfortable and had amazing views over the rice fields... read more towards the mountains. The staff (Yu, Liese and Mon) are all wonderful and we were looked after very well. Our visit coincided with the Lah Krathong festival and with help from the ladies we made offerings of banana boat dishes with candles and flowers to take to the river. The food comprised of local and delicious Thai dishes which can be altered to your taste. This is definitely a place to unwind in serenity and nature. The pool and gardens are beautiful and we spent many tranquil hours soaking up the sunshine. Amazingly only 45 minutes from the Chiang Mai International airport and the hustle of the city. It’s a great base from which to explore this wonderful region of Thailand. I am sure we will return. More
