Nai Yang Beach (GPS: 8.0889, 98.29743) is a quiet stretch of beach close to the Phuket International Airport. Ironwood trees provide both shade as well as a buffer against the noise of planes leaving the airport. Most planes use the eastern approach, but even when they need to depart from the west, Nai Yang Beach is still well buffered from the sound.
The 2004 tsunami washed away the dirt road as well as the few makeshift stalls. Since then, a few bars and restaurants have reappeared under the shady trees, providing some form of nightlife to an otherwise off-the-beaten-path part of Phuket. On the southern end of the bay is Laem Sai Khru or Cape Sai Khru, are two upscale resorts, Arahmas Resort & Spa and Indigo Pearl. On the northern part of Nai Yang Beach is Sirinath National Park.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
