Malaysia - From a cultural and religious perspective, nude sunbathing and skinny-dipping in Malaysia should be avoided as a general rule unless it’s on private property and/or in a place secluded from the general public. Punishment is stated as a maximum jail term of three months, or an unspecified fine.

South Korea - Despite its rapid modernisation, it remains a largely conservative country.
Designated places such as a Korean spa or jjimjilbang is the best place, to head for if you are seeking nudity. Nude communal bathing is normal, although nudity is not permitted in unisex areas. After showering you head to the soaking pools bringing with you a just a small towel to dry off.
If you are planning a trip to Seoul, people deemed to be "overexposed" in public will be subject to a fine of 50,000 KRW (US$45).
The government of Jeju Province has reviewed the opening of its first nude beaches – Jungmun Beach and Hamdeok Beach in Jeju Island to boost tourists.

The Philippines - is a conservative country and public nudity is not officially tolerated. In fact, public nudity is an illegal act.
Although there are no official public nude beaches there is a vast coastline with nearly 8,000 islands. Upon some of these beautiful unspoilt beaches there are places which would be suitable for the private practice of naturism, but please be careful of running afoul of the law.

Indonesia - is the most populous country with a  Muslim majority in the world. You will not find any legal nudist/naturist beaches here. In fact, there is a sentence of up to 12 years in jail for any sexually suggestive display or performance. There are nooks and crannies if you want to take the risk, however, a safer option to consider is to visit one of their naturist resorts.
