เกี่ยวกับสาคู

Sakhu is a subdistrict of Thalang on the north-west coast, between Mai Khao, where the airport is, and Choeng Thale to the south. Its two beaches, Nai Yang and Nai Thon, both lie inside Sirinat National Park, so the shore is lined with casuarina trees rather than buildings. Inland, low hills alternate with farmland and village streets.

The subdistrict has five villages: Nai Yang, Trok Muang, Sakhu, Nai Thon and Bang Ma Lao, the last split off from Nai Yang in 1999. Local history says the name comes from Sa Kho, a large pond where cattle came to drink.

Nai Yang is a wide, shallow bay just south of the runway, with a fishing village at its southern end and the national park's headquarters to the north. Nai Thon, about 7 km south of the airport, is a smaller bay of fine sand between rocky headlands, with one road of small restaurants and hotels behind it.

Life here is slower than on the southern beaches. There are no malls and no nightlife strip: people come for the shade, the seafood restaurants on the sand and the short drive to the airport. In the low season, Nai Yang becomes Phuket's main kitesurfing beach.

จุดเด่นของสาคู

  • Beaches inside Sirinat National Park

    Nai Yang and Nai Thon belong to Sirinat National Park, which protects 22 km² of coast and 68 km² of sea. Casuarinas shade the sand, and a reef lies 700 to 1,000 m offshore.

  • The closest coast to the airport

    Nai Yang is about 3 km from the terminal and Nai Thon about 7 km, so an early flight or a late arrival is an easy drive.

  • A village pace

    No high-rises, no jet skis at Nai Thon and no bar street: evenings mean dinner on the sand and an early night.

  • Dinner with your feet in the sand

    Restaurants along Nai Yang's beach road set their tables on the sand at sunset, from simple Thai seafood places to the resort restaurants at the south end of the bay.

  • Kitesurfing in the low season

    From May to October the south-west wind makes Nai Yang Phuket's main kitesurfing beach, with a school working through the season. The wind is gusty: it suits riders with some experience.

  • Easy beaches for small children

    In the high season Nai Yang stays knee-deep far from the shore, and the trees give free shade along the whole beach.

  • Sunsets over the Andaman

    Both bays face west, so the sun sets over open sea all year; at Nai Yang most people move to the sand for it.

ที่พักในสาคู

Homes are low-rise: condos and pool villas around Nai Yang and on the hills above Nai Thon, resorts near the beaches and village houses inland. The national park keeps building off the sand; aircraft noise depends on the exact spot and the wind.

สาคู ตลอดทั้งปี

ไฮซีซั่น · พฤศจิกายน ถึง เมษายน

November to April: the sea is calm, warm and shallow at Nai Yang and clear at Nai Thon, the best months for swimming and snorkelling. Hotels fill up, but the beaches stay calmer than those in the south of the island.

โลว์ซีซั่น · พฤษภาคม ถึง ตุลาคม

May to October: the south-west monsoon brings wind, waves and red flags, and swimming is often unsafe. Kitesurfers arrive at Nai Yang, some small restaurants close, and the tide leaves debris on the sand.

สาคูสำหรับครอบครัวที่มีเด็ก

Sakhu suits families with small children in the high season: Nai Yang's water stays shallow far out, trees give shade and food is steps from the sand. For daily life, malls, hospitals and most international schools are a drive away.

  • Nai Yang's slope is very gentle: the water is knee-deep 20 m or more from the shore.
  • Free shade under the casuarinas along both beaches.
  • Picnic spots and camping at the national park headquarters.
  • Planes passing low over the north end of Nai Yang are a hit with children.
  • Nai Thon has lifeguards and flagged swimming zones by day; swim between the flags.

Sakhu is the nearest coast to the airport: Nai Yang is about 3 km from the terminal and Nai Thon about 7 km. The orange airport bus to Phuket Town stops at Nai Yang; the Smart Bus does not, so most people use a car, a scooter or a ride app.

  • Grab และแท็กซี่: Taxis and ride apps work from the airport and around the villages; an app is usually cheaper than a street taxi.
  • รถโดยสารประจำทาง: The orange airport bus stops at Nai Yang on its way between the airport and Phuket Town, about hourly; fares run from 30 to 100 THB by distance, cash only (2026).
  • รถยนต์: A short drive from the airport on quiet roads. From the south, the road from Layan to Nai Thon winds through forest above the sea.
  • รถจักรยานยนต์: The easiest way around the villages, where the beach roads are narrow and parking is short.

ที่จอดรถ: Easy at Nai Thon, under the trees along the beach road. Tight at Nai Yang, where the road is narrow and does not go through: park at the first restaurants.

ใครจะชอบสาคู และใครจะไม่ชอบ

จะชอบ

  • People who want shade, a book and an early night rather than bars and crowds.
  • Families with small children: shallow, shaded beaches and food on the sand.
  • Retirees and long-stay residents who want village life with the airport minutes away.
  • Remote workers who fly often and want the airport close.
  • Kitesurfers with some experience, from May to October.

จะไม่ชอบ

  • Night owls: there is no nightlife strip, and Patong is 40 to 60 minutes away.
  • Day-trippers from the south of the island: it is a long drive for a beach day.
  • Swimmers in the low season: from May to October the sea is often closed to swimming.

เคล็ดลับสำหรับสาคู

  • Park at the first restaurants

    Nai Yang's beach road is narrow and does not go through; leave the car near the first restaurants rather than at the end.

  • Cash for the park

    The national-park end of Nai Yang charges foreigners 200 THB and children 100 THB (2026); the village part of the beach is free.

  • A good airport base

    For an early flight or a late arrival, a night here saves the long drive to the southern beaches.

  • Swim between the flags

    From May to October the sea is often rough; at Nai Thon lifeguards mark the safe zone with flags by day.

  • Market afternoons

    Nai Yang's fresh market opens at about 16:00 on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; the cooked food goes first.

  • Mind the staircase

    The wooden steps near Nai Thon are weathered and steep; if in doubt, take your photos from the bottom.

  • Kite season is low season

    Nai Yang's wind blows from May to October and is gusty; complete beginners do better at Rawai from November to April.

  • Hospitals are in town

    The large private hospitals are in Phuket Town, 40 to 50 minutes away; save the route before you need it.

  • Low-season closures

    From May some small restaurants and shops close for weeks; check before you drive.
