Answer 1

No not officially.

But then read the following:

Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand

Chan Resort in Pattaya, Thailand's first resort for the growing naturist/nudist tourism market, will celebrate its completion with a Pre-Opening Weekend for members of Naturist Association Thailand.

Currently, 56 members of the total approx. 600 members have signed up for this event.

The evening will start with a welcome speech and introduction of the resort owner Mr. Chan, followed by a nude dinner pool side with entertainment. Continuing activities on Sept 17 the members of Thailand Naturist will go on a nude cruise to an island off Pattaya that is used as a unofficial nude beach and conclude their day with another poolside dinner with entertainment. The weekend will conclude on 18 Sept with nude pool games and prizes.

Chan Resort, a family run operation, is a unique first for Thailand and southeast Asia as it is a total naturist resort. Located only 1.5 hours drive from Thailand's international airport with easy bus, taxi, and resort pickup service to whisk you to Chan Resort in Pattaya, a major tourist destination. Conveniently located between Pattaya and Jomtien there is easy access to all major tourist activities. In addition Mr Chan and the new Toyota nine passenger "Chan Van" offers airport pickup, tours to local tourist venues, and of course return to airport trips.

You must be a registered member of an recognized international naturist/nudist organization to stay there or come as a day visitor. There are 13 nicely furnished air-conditioned rooms, with free WiFi and breakfast, and refrigerators in each spacious room. A maximum number of day visitors are allowed so all will certainly will enjoy a quality naturist holiday.

Mr Chan was Thailand's first resort owner to officially offer a place for naturists to enjoy skinny dipping and nude sunbathing. He has experience with operating naturist resorts, as he is the former owner of the first Chan Resort which he sold and the new owners renamed Chan Twin which also continues to be a naturist resort. He states the gentle manners and quality of attitude that come with being a naturist, is what attracted him to providing a venue for this expanding segment of the tourist market.

Mr Chan consulted with Thailand Naturist on the concept, design, and building of Chan Resort to meet recognized naturist standards.

Thailand Naturist Association

This is the first organization in Thailand and southeast Asia devoted to educating, building and promoting naturism in the region. It has been slow and measured growth over the last 3 years to achieve to-date nearly 700 members. Membership continues to grow at a predictable and increasing rate and is comprised of mostly internationals coming from nearly all of Asia, southeast Asia, Europe, and American countries. Thais are also joining at a regular rate. Our membership data indicates that there are many Asians who have practiced nudity at home but were unaware there was an organization devoted to social naturism in their own backyard, and once they learn of it they quickly join. We also are finding that members come from all major faiths, so it appears that religion is not a hindrance to naturism in Asia.

Membership is free to join, but each member application is reviewed before approval. There is a two step application process that each member applicant must pass. They use this process to ensure that applicants understand Thailand Naturist is devoted to international standard of social naturism and not alternate forms of naturism.

If you are planing a visit or vacation to Thailand it is recommend that you join Thailand Naturist as a member, this enables you to access up to date information on the developing growth, details and planned events of naturism in Thailand.
