Plane Spotting in Phuket
This video of plane spotting at Mai Khao Beach takes you to one of Phuket’s most unique attractions. Located near Phuket International Airport, the beach is famous for its close-up views of planes landing just above the sand.
During the high season, when the wind direction allows planes to land from the sea, visitors can stand right under the flight path as aircraft descend over the beach. The sight of large jets flying just a few metres overhead makes it a popular spot for photography and videos.
Mai Khao Beach itself is part of Sirinat National Park, with a long stretch of quiet sand and no major developments. While swimming isn’t the main activity here, the experience of watching planes land so close is a must for aviation enthusiasts and travellers looking for something different. Watch the video to see why plane spotting at Mai Khao Beach is one of Phuket’s most exciting sights.
