It's illegal in Thailand, please respect the culture. Also, please dress appropriately for attending temples or government offices. Dress as you would in your own country. I am sick to death of looking at disrespectful tourists treating this country like a beach changeroom or worse. I have seen so many sights over the years and I seem to see more every day, tourists posing with Buddha, with their breasts and shoulders showing, bellies hanging out and mini skirts, The ultimate disrespect for Thai customs and culture. These people deserve more, please give it.

Hi 8801,
Freedom beach is not a nudist beach - there are no nudist beaches - as far as I am aware - for the reasons Tina has explained.

Hi Melissa and the rest of the gang.

I had a look at that link above.....like these guys aren't serious surely? Someone tells us how the Thais don't mind naked people on the beach, and how they always smile. Then tells us someone keeps taking the mirors off the motorbike. Sounds like a
Thai style response for the insult, to me. Don't these people realize that Thais smile all the time? Even to avoid your embarassment?

Anbway, Melissa, it is a reasonable question, but definately nudity is not liked at all by the Thais. It is an insult to them, and I am sure you would not want to do that.

If you really feel the need, hire a boat for the day and go to a private island where no one can see you.

Have a great holiday,
Mark.

I agree with Mark. I think I'd remove his seat, if I were one of those Thais, that'd teach him to wear his pants!

I just read that article about Mai Khao Beach, and from what I know of that deserted stretch of beach, it IS frequented by locals. It's where the sand burials with massage therapy are done, along with locals fishing through the sands for Jakajaan, a small prawn like creature that nestles in the sand and is considered a delicacy - for very good reason. Although it's away from the hotels, it's at the back of a village.

In my opinion, only an ignorant person who wanted to see things his own way would call it deserted.

Hi All,
I understand everyones opinion on this matter - I just happened to find that link and thought Melissa from Denmark could read some stuff about it. I also didn't know that Thai's were offended by nudity but now, once informed, will fully respect this. I believe Melissa was only enquiring and may not have known either so lets go a bit easy on the situation.

Regards
Bec

Hi Bec.

I think your post was very useful, I was not annoyed at what you wrote at all. By 'these guys' I meant the guys writing on the website, not you for bringing it up.

Also, Melissa's question is very reasonable. If you don't ask, you won't know. In lots of places nude bathing is fine, but Phuket is not one of them. Now people know.

I hope I did not offend anyone. I have got my clothes on but.

Bye,
Mark.

Hey Bec, no one's having a go at Melissa. She asked a fair question. There wasn't any problem with you giving the link either, you were just being helpful, it's the attitude of the guy in the story that got me.

Hi All, Sorry - I may have miss interpreted... all good!!! I don't think the Thai's will need to worry about me taking my clothes off anyway - I don't have the figure I had when I was 20yr anymore!!!!!

Thanks guys

Bec

There are beaches frequented by naturists and there is even an organization Thailand Naturist devoted to building naturism in Thailand. There are even two naturist resorts.
