Sirinat National Park

It's a small but lovely national park. Since 2020, they have started charging a fee for foreigners; previously, entry was free. Nevertheless, the park boasts a beautiful, spacious beach flanked by tall trees. If you're fortunate, you might catch a glimpse of the extraordinary low tide when the sea level dramatically recedes, revealing a considerably longer stretch of beach with breathtaking coral formations and stones. Additionally, you can marvel at planes passing just overhead, as the airport is in close proximity. Enjoy your visit

The vibe here is so calm and friendly. I wasn’t bothered by any vendor or loud drunk tourists. Everyone was just enjoying the beach and the stunning sunset

Thailand's smallest national park. I rode my motorbike through around sunset. Very beautiful. Lots of hikers, runners, and motorbikes. It's beautiful.

I arrived 8.05am: peaceful, no tourists at this time, all 5 elephants very lovely

Sirinat National Park, this national park of Phuket is about 90 km2 and consists mainly of sea (75%) and a quarter of land. In 1981, during the foundation of the park, it was called Nai Yang National Park.

In 1992, the name was changed to Sirinat National Park in honour of Queen Sirikit’s 60th birthday. In that year the 10 km long Mai Khao Beach was also added to Sirinat National Park.

You can visit the park by car, scooter or bicycle. There is a big road through the park. With a bicycle you pay nothing, a scooter costs 20 baht and a car 30 baht.

Towards the coast, on the beach, the forests consist mainly of pine trees. These provide a beautiful image when looking from the beach. Besides different kinds of trees, there are also many colourful flowers and beautiful plants in the park. There even is a small mangrove forest with a number of lakes that flow into the sea via a meandering freshwater stream.

Not only in the water and on land but also in the air, the Sirinat National Park is well represented. No less than 125 different species of birds live here, a true paradise for the avid birder. Apart from birds, you are likely to come across a monitor lizard or another species here and there.

Despite Mai Khao Beach being the longest beach on Phuket, Sirinat National Park is actually one of the smallest national parks in Thailand.

Address: 89 Sakhu, Thalang District, Phuket 83140

Opening hours: 06:00 am – 07:00 pm

Sirinat National Park or known as Nai Yang Beach...there are some entrances fee and you will get the official ticket. In the national park has clean public restrooms and shower.

Things need to bring is mat to sit. The pine tree is covered and we can just sit under the shade.

Great park with a nice beach and shady trees. In the afternoon the beach itself has no shade however. During low tide the water level is too low for swimming and the amount of coral makes it difficult to walk too far out.

Foreigners is 100 per person. They don’t accept Thai drivers licenses as proof of residence.

Nice little park with a great beach. The sign says 200baht, however we never saw anyone collecting at the gates. It’s free to walk along the beach. Good snorkeling right from shore.

Best part of Phuket, close to airport and relatively quiet and peaceful. Nice beach and not too many tourists as it's far from the crazies of Patong. Lovely forest of 40 meter tall trees, some kind of evergreen that is just lovely and shady to walk under on these hot days. This is the only part of Phuket I recommend as I just despise the trashiness of the rest of the island, as it's seedy like Pattaya.

The owner is very kind, the hotel is very cute and nice, the bed is very soft. Everyone was lovely, the owners were extremely friendly, and the most impressive thing was that the hotel owner came to drop me off at the airport. Thank you very much. I'll definitely stay again.❤❤

Fantastic Beach near the airport. Great for plane spotting. Plenty of shade for picnics and stay for the day evens and clean toilets - love is a wonderful feeling but nothing beats a clean bog when you just have to go.

A very beautiful and well maintained national park with roads and walking trails.

There is entrance ticket of 100baht per person but if you visit here early morning or in the evening after 5pm it’s free.

Also if you come here then you can visit the Nai Yang beach which is just beside the park and by walking you will reach Mai Khao beach which is like an Airport beach where you can do plane spotting and have fun.

At Mai Khao beach you will get many people there who are staying nearby in hotels or hostels and have there flights. One can have a great time here.

I visited here in March 2023, if you have any questions then do ask me.

Definitely worth taking a trip to Sirinat National park if you’re in Phuket. It’s free to visit and free to park - we took our rental scooter right down to the front. There is a gorgeous sandy beach, and the park spans behind it, with acres of trees and foliage.

Upon entrance to the park you’re greeted by a number of street sellers and sit down restaurants and shops. We stopped at a local food place to eat and had a very well priced meal for two, not too expensive given the area. There is plenty of choice around though, especially from the street sellers, and for people willing to be a little more adventurous than us!

Don’t hesitate visiting here, try to plan it when it’s a little quieter, and less touristy. It’s beautiful.

At the tip of Koh Lanta is the National Park. I expected the walk would give great views across the island but it doesn’t. The monkeys will try and steal anything especially food. Hide your belongings if you go to swim in the sea. It’s fantastic. Take lots of water

The beach looks clean more than I expect from all those review. The sand and sea are clear. Have lot of space for you to sit. Some family come to picnic and have dinner there. Lot of stray dogs as well.

It's deserted and quiet, but the scenery is amazing.

This was a beautiful beach that was secluded, quiet, relaxed, and not busy or packed with tourists. The water was warm, clean, and a deep blue, and the beach was awesome! There was a nice amount of trees that provide for great pictures, and several options for food and drinks a bit further down. Be sure to catch the sunset there if you go, it's gorgeous!

Nice little national park near Phuket airport. A couple of restaurants and a toilet block inside. Some nice trees and a very nice beach with beautiful blue water too. Was 70 baht for the car and three people for admission. Highly recommend.

Very nice place . Don't go during the day time but go after 4h30 When this free and enjoy the wonderful sunset and nice beach

Lovely park leading to a beautiful beach and a perfect spot to walk or relax in the shade. Popular with locals but never seems to be crowded. The entrance fee probably puts people off....but well worth paying for the experience.
