Naturist Association of Thailand sponsors their first International

Naturist Conference




Naturists from 12 nations participated in the celebration of

naturism on May 12th and the effort towards a common goal of

building naturism in Thailand and Southeast Asia, in addition to enjoying the

warm welcome and ambiance of Chan Resort, Thailand’s foremost naturist resort.

Chan Resort was recently listed as one of the world’s top ten naturist resorts

by www.TravelersDigest.com, written by Melanie Votaw renowned travel writer and

author of 12 books and Journalist for international and regional Magazines

& Newspapers.







A warm welcome was given by Chan Konim of Chan Resort to all

attendees, opening remarks by Greg Moeller of Naturist Association Thailand

Co., Ltd. (NAT) sponsors of the conferenceand a presentationon

the history and growth of naturism in Thailand and the bright future it

forecasts was given by Bruce Kendall. Following the speakers, naturist themed

videos stressing body acceptance and living the naturist life were shown,

including some television commercials using naturism as humor.







An honored guest and speaker was Nico Van Eeden, President

of www.SunTrekkers.co.za and past President of the South African Naturist

Federation (SANFED), and his wife Rika. Mr. Van Eeden presented Mr. Kendall and

Mr. Chan with a token of friendship.







Nearly 30 people from 12 different countries attended, with

Thai making up nearly half of the total. Countries in attendance were Denmark, Thailand,

Britain, United States, South Africa, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand,

Thailand, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Though this does not sound like much, it is

when you take into consideration that with 330 million people in the USA, the American

Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) conventions attract around 700 people,

and the Australian Naturist Federation (ANF) Conventions have attracted approximately

70 people in recent years.







A Thai buffet dinner with Karaoke entertainment was enjoyed

by all. Mr. Greger played Master of Ceremony by getting all guests to sing a

song in their native language. Even Mr. Chan joined in with some traditional

Thai songs.







The next day conference attendees were provided a naturist

cruise to a remote island where they enjoyed the sun, sand, and snorkeling in

crystal clear waters. A Thai buffet lunch was provided by the cook of the boat

to the delight of all.







Thailand is situated perfectly for naturist tourism with its

temperate weather, and its geographic location. When it is winter in Europe it

is the perfect time to visit Thailand and when it is winter south of the

equator in South Africa and Australia again it is the perfect time. This will help

even out seasonal rates and provide a regular flow of customers. Naturists will

also turn out one of the biggest benefits to Thailand tourism, as long as other

countries don’t beat them to it. There is already fledging groups in Hong Kong,

India and Singapore.
