Mai Khao Beach Flight Viewing Point

Unclaimed

Very fun and interesting place. The beach by itself is very beautiful and not busy. I have parked my car near the Splash hotel. If you get a chance to walk through its territory, it will take around 10 minutes to be on the airplane view spot.

Planes are taking off too far from the beach and you can barely hear them because they come fast and already high altitude but even is not so dangerous it is nice and different. Also they don’t have beer right there so you have to purchase from somewhere else. You can go with a scooter right nearby.

We honestly don’t think there’s a better beach than this one. It’s super quiet, peaceful, and the best part? Since it’s close to the airport, you can watch planes fly low right above the beach as they’re landing. Might be a regular sight for some, but for us—it felt like therapy. We’ve seen some of the best sunsets here. We came early in the morning for a shoot, and then again in the evening just to chill with a beer. Our hotel was nearby, so we just walked over. Also—bonus points—our beloved 7-Eleven was close too, so we grabbed snacks and had our own little picnic. Another beautiful thing? It’s right next to Sirinat National Park, so we spotted some stunning birds flying by. We tried really hard to get a picture, but the moment we even slightly lifted the camera, they’d fly away. Sadly, we only had our phones on this trip, so everything was shot on an iPhone. If we’d had our camera, maybe we could’ve zoomed in and gotten a few good shots—but no worries, next time! Also, while the beach is free to access, there is an entry fee for the national park—it helps preserve and protect the area, so we didn’t mind paying. Some people say there’s a fee for the beach too, but we didn’t experience that. Lucky, I guess? All in all, it’s an absolutely beautiful beach. A must-visit for sure.
