One of the not so common things to do in Phuket is "airplane watching". Yes, you read that correct: airplane watching. If you're anything like my mum you would probably be wondering if this is something a sane person would consider doing. Well, jokes aside, this is a special case because the view of the take off and landing from Mai Khao beach is truly spectacular. You are literally meters away from the runway and can see these massive creatures roaring and wildly darting towards what seems like the end of the world. It suddenly then takes off right above your head and into the sky effortlessly gliding across the horizon.
Check the landing or departing times before you go.
However, bare in mind that I went to Phuket in July 2013. And this might not be relevant in the future as there are rumors that a wall is being built so people aren't able to see the runway from the sidewalks. If this is the case then that's a real bummer.
Have fun!
