拍飛機的好地方,但地點不容易到達,可坐嘟嘟20泰銖或自行騎車前往會容易點,廁所只開放08:30到16:00,之後就上鎖,要善加利用!!!

👉Come to Phuket all the time. Must not miss coming to see. A place to take photos and videos of airplanes taking off and landing. 🚗 For traveling here, there is a parking lot. After that, take a Saleng to the beach for about 5 minutes. The cost is 20 baht per person for the going trip and 20 baht for the return trip. This gives the community in this area an income. ⭕️This time you can take photos only when the plane is taking off. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The dirtiest beach I've ever seen. You can't even surf huge waves. Lifeguards were warning those who entered the water to get out. Terrible waves hit the shore with all their anger and splash the water in your face along the shore. The planes do not pass low like in other pictures, it is almost impossible to take pictures. We walked to the back of the airport, where a small group of people were desperately waiting for planes to land and take off. There are also tradesmen selling food and beverages in this part. It's not worth getting tired here.
