Sai Kaew Beach is the beach furthest north on Phuket Island’s west coast and the translation from Thai is “glass sand.” From Hat Pak Phra Beach at the Sarasin Bridge connecting Phang Nga and Phuket provinces, Sai Kaew goes to the south, stopping at Mai Khao Beach. Looking west, the view is endless sea. Looking north, you can see a large unnamed sandy beach on Phang Nga’s southern coast just 400 meters (437 yd.) away.

The beach borders a deep-water channel where large boats with really low draft can cross. The water is typically clear and calm during low-season months.
