NATCON 2016 – ready for the splash!

NATCON 2016 - the 5th International Naturist and Nudist Conference in Thailand - is now ready to roll. The around 50 participants from 13 different countries in Asia, Europe and the US were on Sunday 5 June given the last information about their participation in the conference.

The conference starts for many at 8 o'clock Friday morning 10 June by boarding one of the three mini-vans going to the NATCON location. One will depart from a hotel near the Suvarnabumi airport, where some will gather, the two others will depart from Barefeet Naturist Resort, where around 20 participants have been staying overnight - some in their proper rooms, some in tents in the garden, some on mattresses on the floor protected only by a mosquito net.

After arrival at the pier around noon on Friday, the three rafts will depart for their anchoring position. As soon as the anchor is down, all hands will be called on deck for a briefing of the activities for the next 48 hours. Then they will be dismissed to report back undressed or - in case of 1st timers - wearing their towel.

Then the first water games will start until it is time to prepare for dinner. Every participant is a member of one of 14 teams. These teams compete against each other throughout the NATCON days and these teams do various chores on board like laying the table, serving the dinner and clearing the tables.

The conference itself takes place on Saturday with a morning session and an afternoon session. Then it is time again for water games until it is dinnertime. On this main day of the conference, there will be a Quiz Night with the starting rounds before dinner and the finals after dinner.  Winners collect fabulous prizes!

After the quiz, it will be time for a karaoke evening. Don't be shy - only other members will be able to hear you as other people will be several kilometers away.

Sunday, the first half of the day is still full of activities. But around noon, the rafts will be tugged back to the pier. All participants will be dressed up and ready for the onshore life upon arrival and at 1 PM, the mini-vans will depart back to Bangkok. For many, the next couple of days will be spent at one or more of the naturist resorts in Thailand before leaving back home for their respective countries.
