Hat Sai Keo

Hat Sai Keo is a small bay located on Thailand's eastern Gulf coast, characterized by sheltered waters enclosed by forested headlands and residential development. The spot features two sandy beach areas separated by a rocky point, with shallow lagoon-like conditions in the bay proper. Water is predominantly flat with minimal wave formation due to the bay's protected nature and short fetch distance. Average wind speeds are extremely light at 3.3 knots with 0% reliability, making consistent sessions unlikely. The bay orientation (facing southeast) suggests side-shore conditions from northeast or southwest winds, though such winds appear rare in this location. This spot is most suitable for absolute beginners or those practicing light-wind techniques, as conditions rarely support sustained kitesurfing. The shallow, obstacle-free lagoon area provides safety for learning, but marginal wind and flat water mean serious progression is limited. Kiters should verify seasonal wind patterns and consider nearby open-coast alternatives during visit planning.
