Falling Season in a Lovely Hotel at Phuket
#fallingseason
Nice and lovely hotel at Mai Khao beach, Phuket. This hotel very close to the Phuket International Airport that only 20 mins car tour to reach the property. It is named Le Meridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort.
And all the rooms are new here with comfortable sofa bed in the room. My room has a terrace that could enter a private pool on the first floor.
What’s more, hotel provide 2 free drinks and 2 ten mins Head and shoulder Spa free to the guest. But you should book in advance! Very nice experience!
And you could have local Thaifood at the Nook. Then another seaside restaurant provide western cuisines with nice sunset.

Romantic beach at Phuket airport
I recently visited Mai Khao beach during the low season and was pleasantly surprised by the tranquility it offered. The absence of crowds made it perfect for a romantic getaway. The highlight of our trip was the delightful on the beach dining experience, providing a serene ambience with the sound of waves crashing in the background. The big waves added an exciting element to our beach walks. Mornings were particularly captivating as we could enjoy the sight of numerous planes landing and taking off nearby. If you're seeking a peaceful and picturesque beach escape, Mai Khao beach is definitely worth a visit.#beach #airport #beachlife

Amazing Mai Khao beach in Phuket
If you want to see planes landing right over your head, then you are here!
Mai Khao Beach is located in the south of Phuket Island, and from the very early morning a lot of people gather here to watch the planes land at the local airport. It's just an incredible sight, especially if a really big plane, such as a Boeing 777, comes in to land.
Tips for visiting: study the airport schedule and come early in the morning, then you can look at the planes alone while everyone is still sleeping. Planes land quite often, but there are breaks of half an hour.
Have a good spotting and cool photos!

Mai Khao Beach
Mai Khao Beach or Had Mai Khao is located behind Phuket International Airport which is one of the best places for planes spotting. If you’re in Phuket, don’t forget to put this in your itinerary.

This is such a nice beach, and it's quite big too. So if you just want to relax and you prefer quiet, you get it and if you want the music and fun, you can find that too.
Many activities, there is the airpoint view point too, you can get a Tuk-Tuk (so we did and it was so fun) to go to the hotels around and to the souvenir shops.
There are plenty of trees so we found a nice refreshing spot to sit.

Phuket's never-ending summer
👒Phuket's summer never ends
🤡The boy I love will always be in love!
🖤After reading Fang Qi's copywriting, no one would not want to go to Phuket
🖤There are so many things to say about Phuket, so please keep your eyes on and let me tell you in detail
🌈Attraction features:
🤓Phuket is the largest and most bustling island in Thailand, with convenient living functions. If you like the hustle and bustle, go to Patong Beach. If you want some tranquility, you can choose Kata or Mai Khao Beach.
🕐️Scenic area opening hours:
👁️🗨️06:00~18:00
🚗Transportation tips:
👣The main transportation in Phuket is basically motorcycles, tuk-tuks, and taxis. If you are not good at bargaining, it is best to use a ride-hailing app. Use Bolt for taxis, as the starting fare is relatively cheap. You can also choose Grab, which is a bit more expensive but reliable.
💗Other tips:
🌂1. Randomly chosen restaurants and night snack stalls are generally very delicious. No need to deliberately look for internet-famous stores; queuing in the hot weather is torturous.
🌂2. For shows or island tours, you can buy tickets or day tour packages online a day in advance, which is very convenient.
🌂3. Patong has a smart bus to and from the airport, 100/person, very convenient.
🌂4. Be sure to prepare beach shoes when going out to the island.
🌂5. Phuket's airport is very, very cold! Bringing an extra jacket won't hurt.
🌂6. Thailand is really too hot. At noon, you can go to indoor malls, get a massage, or eat something. Going out in the afternoon will be much more comfortable.

Mai Khao Magic: Your Insta-worthy beach escape
Known for its expansive stretch of golden sands, Mai Khao provides ample space for solitude and relaxation, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
One of the highlights of Mai Khao Beach is undoubtedly its breathtaking sunset views. As the sun descends over the Andaman Sea, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, casting a mesmerizing glow over the tranquil waters and creating a picture-perfect backdrop for photography enthusiasts. The unobstructed horizon allows for uninterrupted views, enhancing the experience of witnessing nature's nightly spectacle.
Unlike the more frequented beaches in Phuket, such as Patong or Kata, Mai Khao retains a quieter ambiance and sees fewer visitors. This sense of seclusion adds to its allure, providing visitors with a chance to unwind in a more peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle. Whether you're lounging on the beach, taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, or simply enjoying the sunset from one of the beachfront restaurants, Mai Khao offers a tranquil haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
TIPS:
1. Sunblock is a MUST HAVE. I got sunburnt really badly on the second day when we engaged in water activities. Remember to reapply the sunblock every 2 hours.
2. There are a few 7/11 nearby that offers a variety of affordable sunblocks, check them out for surprises! (hint: their food is amazing)
3. Remember to bring a picnic mat!
4. ENJOY

5 things you must know before going to Maikhao Beach in Phuket, full of holiday vibes
✈️Travel is about long-term and pioneering, it's the fun of explorers, hope you are too
Everyone has different ways and meanings of travel
This is my second time in Phuket this year, I never go to the three main beaches on the internet
I prefer to go where there are fewer people
I've stayed almost everywhere in Phuket, but this beach and hotel are always my favorites
(Maikhao Beach)
🌟Highlights:
Beach:
Stretching beach, soft sand, magnificent sunset glow
Satisfying all the desires of island and holiday lovers
Even in the peak season, this beach can satisfy a moderate amount of bustle
Few people, beautiful scenery, close to the airport are the reasons I love it.
🏨Hotel recommendation
Among all the luxury hotels, I always have a soft spot for Renaissance Phuket
Full of inspiration and Thai elements in the design, I heard other tourists wow wow wow the first time I entered the lobby
The jungle, pond and architectural layout in the resort complement each other
The richness and deliciousness of breakfast can save my lunch
The SANDI western restaurant facing the beach has a good view and atmosphere
Compared with Takieng Thai restaurant, I recommend Thai food more,
It redefines my taste for southern Thai cuisine
In addition, mango ice cream is really a must-order (for me I can not eat but will order this ice cream in the restaurant)
Rich seaside activities, paddle board, wave board, banana boat let you know why it's called staying in the hotel
🌟Highlights:
Who is it suitable for:
1, Come to see the sea, come on holiday, individuals and families who don't like noise (you can definitely come to see the sea to heal if you are heartbroken)
2, Girls and boys who love to take pictures and live a good life
3, Beginners and intermediate players of sea sports, the beach is shallow, the waves are intermediate, it's very suitable, 【key】safe
It's really not suitable for those who are lively, check in the three main beaches that others say, looking for flowers and willows.... For this kind of coming, it's just stepping on the pit
Cost performance:
· I personally think it's better to book early around 1000-1200 RMB, including breakfast, sea sports and taxi fees, it's almost the same as you go to stay in a 500-600 hotel
· The hotel also has a free shuttle bus to the shopping village, 7-11 and some small stalls are all available, you can also eat outside the hotel
For me who can't think of a hotel with a quiet beach, it's very suitable. Compared with other hotels on the same beach, Renaissance is actually more trendy, not so mature so this is also another reason I love it so much.
PS: It's very atmospheric to take pictures by the beach forest at their beach.

serene and pristine is the real deal.

Tranquil, relaxing and by the beach
Just what we needed and did not disappoint. JW Phuket is located in a bit isolated location in Phuket but for those who's looking to have a quiet and peaceful time away from everyday life, it is a good option to consider. Enjoy good food, service and the beach to one's liking. Excellent spa experience this time around that we thoroughly enjoyed. The property also provides shuttle service to neighbouring Marriott properties.

Mai Khao Beach Phuket
It’s a beautiful beach in Phuket. Clear sea water, clean beach and the climax of here is airplanes view point. You can take the photo with landing airplanes so close. Suitable for relaxing day.

Mai Khao Beach is a relatively small beach. It is indeed the only beach in the north of Phuket's top ten beaches. There is a young turtle release activity on April 13 each year, which will bring together a large number of people. .
The beaches here are also very beautiful, passing through the hotel's open-air swimming pool and lawn, and directly to the beach. The beaches here are soft and golden in color, and they are even more dazzling in the evening sun. I met two friends from Germany, talked about a lot of interesting things on my trip, and met interesting strangers in strange places. It has always been a reason to keep me moving forward.
The beach under the dusk, the waves chasing each other, running on the beach, the dim light of the sun will drag the shadows long, barefoot on the soft sand, the waves The bursts came across the instep, and the sand under the feet was washed away a lot, so that the whole person felt a little sag. Then quickly retreat, the remaining fine sand also slipped from the ankle, and itching makes people feel guilty.
I really hope that I will go on like this in a long time, but the time is probably long, but the days of intoxication are often few, and I should catch it.

The 9km long beach of Maikhao in the northern part of Phuket is a great place to watch the sunset and the longest beach in Phuket. Away from the tourists, the family can contract a whole beach.
The next wish is that I hope to come here to meet the turtles that come here to spawn. It is a great experience to have close contact with small animals outside the zoo.
