Mai Khao Beach in Phuket is one of the longest beaches on the island, known for its seclusion and unspoiled nature. This beach stretches for nearly 11 kilometers along the northwest coast of Phuket and is part of the Sirinat National Park.
Mai Khao is known as a place where people can watch airplanes land, which is a unique and unforgettable experience.
Besides, Mai Khao is a spot where one can observe giant turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs.
However, this beach is not suitable for families with children as there are strong currents in some areas and the entrance to the water can be quite steep.
