Property in Nai Yang and Nai Thon, Phuket: prices

Nai Yang and Nai Thon are the national park beaches beside Phuket International Airport, about 10 minutes from arrivals. Condominiums asked a median of about THB 107,000 per sqm in June 2026, well below the central west coast. They suit owners who fly in often and want a quiet beach more than restaurants. Aircraft noise and title history near the park need checking.

Nai Yang and its smaller neighbour Nai Thon are the part of Phuket for a buyer who flies in often and wants a quiet beach more than a busy one. Both beaches lie within Sirinat National Park, beside the airport. Condominiums asked a median of about THB 107,000 per sqm in June 2026, against an island-wide median of THB 144,000. The cost of the short transfer is aircraft overhead and a thin local market.

What it is like to live in Nai Yang and Nai Thon

Sirinat National Park was created in 1981 and covers about 90 square kilometres, 68 of them sea. It takes in Nai Thon, Nai Yang and Mai Khao. The shore is backed by ironwood beach forest, and sea turtles nest on Nai Yang and Mai Khao between November and February. Coral reefs lie 700 to 1,000 metres offshore in the park's marine section.

Nai Yang village sits behind the beach, with small hotels and places to eat along the beach road. Nai Thon, a short drive south, is a single cove with a few resorts. For a weekly shop, a private hospital or a wider choice of restaurants, you drive south to Bang Tao or inland. Thalang Hospital, a government hospital, is inland on Thepkasattri Road. See international schools and healthcare for the rest.

Who buys in Nai Yang and Nai Thon and why

The district suits second-home owners who visit several times a year and value a ten-minute transfer, and golfers, with Blue Canyon Country Club just east of the airport. Nai Yang and Mai Khao are the northern locations expected to grow if the proposed Phang Nga airport and other infrastructure go ahead. That is a forecast. Buy for what the place offers now.

Rental demand in Nai Yang and Nai Thon

Holiday income depends on flights and on the operator. Island-wide hotel occupancy was 67.7% in the first half of 2026, at an average daily rate of THB 5,658, with airport arrivals down 1.4% on a year earlier. Tenants look first in Cherngtalay and Rawai, so expect fewer of them here. Letting for under 30 days needs a hotel licence: read short-term rental rules and test your numbers in the rental yield calculator.

Getting to and around Nai Yang and Nai Thon

Nai Yang Beach is a 10-minute drive from the airport, and Nai Thon about 12 minutes. Layan and Bang Tao are further south. You will need a car: see flights and getting around.

What to watch for in Nai Yang and Nai Thon

Aircraft first. The runway runs east to west, and its western end is a few hundred metres from the shore where Nai Yang meets Mai Khao. Visit any plot in the morning and evening.

Title second. In July 2026 the Supreme Court cancelled the land titles of a hotel and villa development of more than 13 rai in Sakhu, the sub-district that includes both beaches, and ordered every structure demolished. Have a lawyer trace the title of any plot near the park to its origin: see title deeds and due diligence and Sor Kor 1.

Third, the sea. Both beaches face the southwest monsoon, covered in climate and seasons.

What to weigh in Nai Yang and Nai Thon

The western end of the airport runway is a few hundred metres from the shore where Nai Yang meets Mai Khao, and aircraft pass low over that end of the bay. Visit a plot at several times of day.

In July 2026 the Supreme Court cancelled the land titles of a hotel and villa development of more than 13 rai in Sakhu, the sub-district that includes Nai Yang and Nai Thon, for encroaching on Sirinat National Park, and ordered it demolished.

Both beaches face the southwest monsoon. Expect surf and red flags on many days between May and October.

Supermarkets, private hospitals and most restaurants are a drive south, and tenants look first in Cherngtalay and Rawai, not the north.

Forecasts of growth in the north lean on a new airport in Phang Nga that is still only proposed. Price what exists today.

Questions about buying in Nai Yang and Nai Thon

How close is Nai Yang to the airport?

About 10 minutes by car from Nai Yang Beach, and about 12 minutes from Nai Thon.

What does a condominium cost in Nai Yang?

Units asked a median of THB 4.2 million in June 2026, about THB 107,000 per sqm, with the cheapest at THB 1.85 million. For comparison, Bang Tao condominiums sold at an average of about THB 283,975 per sqm in 2025.

How much aircraft noise is there?

It depends on the plot. The runway runs east to west and ends near the shore at the northern end of Nai Yang, so homes close to that end and under the flight path hear the most. Nai Thon is further south and further from the runway. Visit in the morning and evening before you commit.

Is land near the national park safe to buy?

Only after a lawyer has traced the title back to its origin. Land claimed inside Sirinat National Park has been the subject of court cases for years, and in July 2026 the Supreme Court cancelled titles in Sakhu and ordered the buildings on them demolished. A condominium unit in a registered building carries less of this risk than a plot.
