Jump to: navigation, search

Mai Khao (หาดไม้ขาว Hat Mai Khao) is a beach on the northwestern side of Phuket, Thailand. It's also known as Airport Beach or Sanambin Beach (the Thai word for "airport"), as it's very close to the airport. The northern portion is known as Hat Sai Kaeo (หาดทรายแก้ว), a long white sandy beach with groves of pines along the shore.

[edit] Get in

Phuket's airport (see Phuket) is directly next to Mai Khao.

The beach can be reached by taking the Thepkasattri Road on to the Thao Thepkasattri Bridge, then take a left turn at the direction sign pointing to Mai Khao Beach. It is the habitat of the sea cicadas and turtles.
