Sai Kaew Beach (Haad Sai Kaew)

About Sai Kaew Beach

Sai Kaew Beach (Haad Sai Kaew in Thai) is a beautiful endless beach located north of Phuket Island, just past Mai Khao Beach and before Sarasin bridge. People easily complain about crowded beaches, but nothing is easier to find than a deserted beach in Phuket. Note that ‘Haad Sai Kaew’ glass sand beach and this name is common, so there are more than one Sai Kaew Beaches in Thailand!

Haad Sai Kaew Beach in North Phuket

During the high season, the sea has a nice blue tone and walking alone for miles, you would never guess you are still in Phuket. Take the time to stop there one day to enjoy a breezy seafood lunch in one of the many thatched roof bamboo huts—a real treat in the shade of the trees.


Where is Sai Kaew Beach


The boundary between Mai Kao Beach and Haad Sai Kaew is very blur, but this strip of sand stretches all the way from Phuket Airport to the Bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Nearby is another beach called Haad Pak Phra, and its weird speciality: is the preparation of jellyfish for cooking.

Where to Eat on Sai Kaew Beach


Sai Kaew Beach Restaurant

There is only one restaurant still standing on this beach. There used to be at least four of them in the past, but they were removed when illegal buildings were checked. The remaining restaurant is very pleasant, with those typical bamboo huts to have lunch right on the beach. The food is really Thai and not expensive, making the place a great escape from the crowds.
