О месте: Сай Юан
Sai Yuan is the inland, residential middle of Rawai, at the southern end of Phuket. The zone runs from Wiset Road, the main road south from Chalong, west along Saiyuan Road and its side lanes towards the wooded hills behind Kata Noi. Nai Harn's beach and lake and Rawai's waterfront are each a few minutes' drive away.
The name is the council's village Moo 7, Ban Sai Yuan, which split from Ban Nai Harn in about 1991. The council's history says the place was a forest of sai trees where yuan bees made their nests, and the village took its name from both.
Today it is one of the island's main neighbourhoods for long-stay foreigners and their families. Villa estates, small housing projects and low-rise condos line the lanes off Saiyuan Road, with gyms, Muay Thai camps, cafés, a coworking space and clinics among them, and several international and bilingual schools stand on its edge.
There is no beach and no sight to speak of: people come to live here, or for a children's rope park, an activity café and a cash-and-carry on Wiset Road. A car or scooter comes with most homes.

Советы: Сай Юан
Get a scooter or car
Homes are spread over a wide area, buses do not run through the lanes and the beaches are a drive away.
Visit a home after rain
Low-lying lanes can flood briefly in a storm; see a house in the low season before signing a long lease.
Ask for the estate's name
Many homes sit in named estates off Saiyuan Road; drivers find them faster with the name or a map pin.
Compare rents carefully
Rents for the same kind of home vary widely; see several before choosing.
Check school runs at rush hour
Wiset Road and Saiyuan Road are busy around school times; time the drive before choosing a home.
Book the rope park in the cool
Ko Fun is outdoors; late afternoon and evening, up to 22:00, are cooler for children.
