Explanation

ธรรมชาติ is most basically a noun meaning “nature,” but ธรรมชาติของ〜 is a common pattern meaning “the nature of...” or “the inherent quality of...” It can also follow a noun adjectivally, as in อาหารธรรมชาติ “natural food” or สีธรรมชาติ “natural color.” เป็นธรรมชาติ is a useful expression meaning “to be natural” or “to feel unforced.”

Usage

It is common when talking about scenery, travel, environmental protection, natural disasters, natural products, and the inherent nature of people or things. It appears in everyday speech, news, school texts, and general writing.

Caution

For “do something naturally,” ธรรมชาติ is not always attached directly to the verb. Expressions like พูดอย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ or เป็นไปตามธรรมชาติ are often more natural. Also, for “normal” or “ordinary,” ปกติ or ธรรมดา may be the better choice depending on context.
