Ko
Sichang has many beaches, all with cleaner, clear water than
any mainland beach in the northern Gulf.
By far the biggest, best
and most popular is Haad Tham Phang (Collapsed Cave Beach).
There you'll find all the conveniences a tourist could want,
minus jet skis. Other
beaches are smaller, more secluded and often pristine. None
of these places has lifeguards, but the drop-off is very gradual
at all the beaches, and the surf is seldom any threat.
In the names below, we've left out the word "haad"
or "beach", which is necessary when asking directions.
Haad Saai Kaew is the most secluded of Ko
Sichang's accessible beaches. Especially during the southwest
monsoon, it can have calm, crystal clear water, and no people.
There's a variety of coral and some large fish waiting for
the snorkeler with a good enough sense of direction (or one
of the local youngsters trained as guides) to find the somewhat
overgrown stairway down the cliff about 500 meters south of
the Old Palace, immediately north of the pier of the less-than-scenic
oil tank farm.
