Plane Spotting in Phuket one of the highlights Things to Do in Phuket

Plane spotting is a popular activity in Phuket. The hotspot for watching planes coming into land is at the western end of Phuket International Airport runway, at the southern end of Mai Khao Beach. The place is idyllic: Mai Khao Beach is up to 50 metres wide at low tide, and the turquoise colours of the sea, especially between 10am and 2pm, offer stunning photo opportunities.

Every day, many people gather at the end of the runway to get their photo taken with a plane. With a capacity of 30 flights per hour at Phuket International Airport, you hardly need to wait a long time between planes landing.

As planes must face the wind when they take off and land, you have 2 plane spotting seasons in Phuket. During high season (December to April), the wind blows from the northeast toward the southwest, landing directly over the beach. It’s just the opposite in low season, with planes taking off toward the west, so you can see them departing overhead.
