Than Sadet Beach

Everywhere 🏝️✨🇹🇭

Common coloursLoads of glass

Ao makham

- very quiet beach suggest to bring someone with - found many black glasses on left side (rock side)but not much round - found many common colours on Right side (sandy side) - can par car around 3-4 cars

Common coloursA few pieces

Hat Tham Phang Beach

The most beautiful beach in Koh Sichang with white sand and some rocks on the sides. Can find some seaglass but expect a lot of people during holiday season.

Rare coloursA good amount

Klong Kong Beach, Koh Lanta

Large, well-frosted sea glass pieces! White, green, aqua blue and brown. Check the area near 'half soi klong kong' for best finds.

Bang Saen

Urban beach just 1h from Bangkok. Brown, green and clear glass found here. A local artisan collects sea glass for jewelry.

Common coloursA good amount

Lamai Beach, Koh Samui

Mentioned in shelling guides but not directly confirmed for sea glass. Worth exploring if you're in the area.

Lonely Tree Beach

Left side of the lonely tree, can find some seaglass during low tides. Found some blue marble too.

Uncommon coloursA good amount

Koh Si Chang — Ao Tham Jok Kok

Rocky bay where sea glass naturally accumulates between the rocks. Turquoise, seafoam, brown and green pieces. Access is quite difficult. You have to climb over the roadside safety barrier to reach a small trail, then carefully make your way down

Hard to reachRare colours

Nai Yang Beach, Phuket

Part of Sirinat National Park. Shelling guides mention it, though sea glass potential is low. A beautiful area to explore all the same.

Common coloursA few pieces

Cha-Am Nord

Sandy zone near Cha-Am. One piece in over an hour, which was disappointing. Sandy terrain is not ideal for sea glass.

Common coloursA few pieces

Cha-Am — Bang Ketu

Explored on the same trip as Cha-Am Nord. Very little sea glass here: the sandy beach doesn't hold pieces well.

Common coloursA few pieces

Behind Ekkanake restaurant

Access from the restaurant or from the stairs above it. I have seen some common seaglass but nothing too crazy

Common coloursA few pieces

Koh Tao — Laem Thian

Abandoned cape near a resort that closed in 2011. Isolated area with turquoise, green and brown sea glass.

Lighthouse beach

- Wear sneakers - Very beautiful beach - 6.00am-9.00am and 16.30-18.0ppm are perfect time to picking

Hard to reachCommon colours

Hat Phla, Ban Chang

Near the Map Ta Phut industrial zone in Rayong. Low to moderate finds: brown, green and clear pieces.

Uncommon coloursLoads of glass

Hat Nam Rin, Ban Chang

Rocky beach in the Ban Chang area with potentially favorable conditions for sea glass accumulation.

Rare coloursA good amount

Ao Leuk Beach

Some seaglass seen on this beach, nothing special

Common coloursA few pieces

Koh Si Chang — Seaglass Beach

The most well known Seaglass beach on Koh Si Chang. Possibly the one who has the most seaglass in North Thailand. A lot of people are coming here everyday to collect. Difficult to access because the way from the road is broken ; stairs are quite dangerous to use, would not recommand. Can also access from Novotel Hotel if the tides are very low.
