We are spotting from Mai Khao Beach close to Nai Yang Beach at Phuket International Airport on the island of Phuket in Thailand.

During our holiday to Phuket, we were lucky enough to spend two days spotting from this amazing spotting position. This footage is of two Thai Smile Airbus A320´s landing and taking off at Phuket International Airport. These two Thai Smile Airbus A320´s have aircraft registration HS-TXO and HS-TXJ. HS-TXO flew for the first time in May 2014 and HS-TXJ flew for the first time in October 2013.
