Location & what to see
Friends Hostel - Phuket Airport stands in Sakhu, on Phuket island, in the area around Phuket International Airport. It is a calmer base than the resort beaches of Patong and Karon, which are much busier, and the airport is the main landmark of the local area. The airport sits by the coast, so the aircraft passing overhead are part of the local scene.
Nai Yang Beach is 900 m away, a sandy beach that lies close to the national park, and Sirinat National Park, 1 km from the hostel, is a protected coastal area of beaches and forest. The Airplane Viewpoint at Maikhao Beach, 2.1 km away, is a spot where aircraft pass low over the sand as they come in to land. The Ni Yang Night Market is nearby for local food and shopping, and Phuket International Airport is the island's main gateway for flights.
A simple day could start with a walk to Nai Yang Beach, continue with a visit to Sirinat National Park, and end at the Airplane Viewpoint on Maikhao Beach to watch the planes. For a day off the beach, Splash Jungle Water Park, 2.4 km away, has slides and pools for a day out. Phuket is linked to the mainland by bridge, so arriving by car is straightforward.
