Small Airstrips.

[Chopper]

Does anyone know if there are any airstrips in Phuket for Light Aircraft to land on? (Excluding of course Phuket International).

Thanks.

One is just starting... Has the land in the north east of the island.. Not sure if its fully opened yet..

Google 'Phuket flying club'... Will be superb if and when microlight lessons and skydiving is on the menu..

Thanks.

Microlight Flying is lots of fun and as you say the it will be great for Phuket when flying becomes available. I know it is not local but skydiving and flights are availble in Pattaya.
