It just depends. At different times, I pronounce it differently... Oooh, how profound, eh?

I always pronounced it ksaow. Probably closest to option 1... but I definitely do not lead with a vowel.

Yes, 2 is basically one syllable: "Shaow" rhyming with "now" or "wow", I just used the dash to make it easier to read, you see.
Chinese method, yes, because I'm, naturally, Chinese. And I generally pronounce it so that it sounds like "Small" in Chinese.
