MAI KHAO BEACH :

Khao Beach is situated at the North Western tip of Phuket, there you find a quiet sandy beach stretching 17km, perfect for evening strolls and perfect for a private time with someone you love. Mai Khao Beach is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a little bit of peace and quiet and isolation.From early December to late April you will find calm water and excellent swimming conditions.Mai Khao Beach is on a unique ringing reef making it the perfect location for snorkeling.Mai Khao beach has for centuries been one of the world’s largest nesting areas for the great leatherback turtle. Due to the importance of the sea turtle conservation program, Mai Khao will remain 90% undeveloped.The endangered giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs on Mai Khao and every April, the young are released into the sea during Songkran.If you are visiting during this time, it is well worth seeing and a sight you will almost certainly never see again. Mai Khao Beach is the perfect place for family vacations. Because if its isolation and lack of tourists,facilities are sparse. Restaurants are found along the beach road and mainly serve up Thai cuisine.The JW Marriott Resort was the first 5 star hotel to settle onto Mai Khai, but it has been done in a way which is very friendly to the environment. There are many access roads to the beach and you can select one which is best suited to you. Take the road just south of the airport which will lead to Nai Yang Beach and will subsequently enter the Sirinat National Park. Turn right from there and follow Phuket’s main highway, which is route 402 and it will help you reach the beach easily.
