About Mai Khao Airport Viewpoint
The north end of Mai Khao Beach lies just beyond Phuket airport's runway, and on the right days planes come in low over the sand. Whether they land from the sea side depends on the wind, and the beach is wider at low tide, so it is worth checking both before the drive.
