There are places on the planet where planes land very close to people, and where they can capture a photo or video camera. This the occupation in common is called spotting, although spotting is the whole hobby and photographing flying machines is only a part of it. So Here, the beach with planes in Phuket is great for spotting, where I somehow went. I myself am not a spotter, but I I liked it – I felt how a multi-ton colossus flies over you head, very unusual impressions. I still don’t love classic sights, but something such.

Beach with planes in Phuket
Phuket Airport is in close proximity to beach, so vacationers on this beach were able to contemplate landing and taking off aircraft. I honestly do not know the name of this beach is because somewhere here the Nai Young Beach goes into Mai Cao Beach. Therefore, in some reports they write that this is Nai Yang, in others that Mai Kao. But, in fact, it does not matter, because the main thing aircraft!
The airport runway is perpendicular. coastline and airplanes land and land 100 meters from coast. The stretch of beach opposite the airport is free to visit and not guarded in any way. You can come there at any time and for yourself. feel the full power of the aircraft. Interesting, I tell you feelings see some hundreds of tons flying right over you. But this not all! I did not know about it, somehow it did not occur to me. When the plane takes off, or rather is at the start, then from its turbines go powerful air flows just towards the beach and if you fall under them, practically knocks them down. But if anything, there is where to hide behind the concrete blocks on which the fence stands.

Not just Mai Kao beach, but a beautiful beach!

Will be on Phuket, go for sure. There and go completely not for long on the beach, and it will be interesting if never this have seen
Sirinat National Park
On the map you could see that there are near the coast and the airport Sirinat National Park. Usually there is something in the national parks interesting or at least beautiful: jungle, trails, views, mountains, waterfalls and so on. But there is nothing in Sirinat, it is nothing. So what strange, on its territory enough garbage, what is it then nat Park— Visually it reminds just a small forest through which Thais scurry on bikes and cars on their business. Yes, there is a couple picnic places, but they look so-so. It’s better for me to go to the part of Nai Yang beach (at the other end of the beach) where there is no national park and no car traffic.

So you shouldn’t go to the nat park itself. However, if you want walk to the beach with the planes, then you have to cross it.
Information to visit
Phuket Beach, where the planes land, can be reached from two parties: from Nai Yang and Mai Kao. I went with Nai Yang’s parties (and for some reason many who walk like this), but visually it seems that with Mai Kao will be much faster.
Karoche, if from the side of Nai Yang go, then you will need nat Park Sirinat cross. The fastest way to do it in northern parts where closest to the airport. Entrance and parking place will be around this hotel (by reference you can name it and location to see). Then it remains to go 1 km on the sand.
The entrance to the park is 100 baht. But they take, as I understand it, only for transport, not from foot.
