I have been to many naturist locations in Europe, many gay-run or gay friendly. Thais are naturally conservative and opportunities for nude sunbathing in Thailand are limited. It's good to hang out naked with other guys, even if the interaction is purely social. Punya at Sansuk Sauna has told me that nudity is OK by the pool. I have stripped off but I was in a very small minority. Nudity may be a no-no while construction workers are on site. I was last at Sansuk last May and will return next May. There are two so-called naturist resorts in the next soi to Sansuk; Chan Resort and Chan Twin. However, my experience has been that when Thai guests are staying you can't swim or sunbathe nude and that can lead to disagreements.
Always enjoyed the Sansuk experience. Nice that Punya makes an effort to walk round and talk to customers. Never had any problems with the staff. I did stay one night just for a "look see" but it's a little expensive, I thought (though cheaper rooms are begin built, I understand) and location isn't that convenient. 180 baht for an afternoon's sun and pleasure is great value, though.
