Phuket HKT/VTSP
Phuket is one of the best known Holiday Locations in Southeast Asia with its beautiful Beaches and stunning Landscape. As I didn`t get the "grilling on the Beach" in my DNA Transcrips, I soon found another Activity at the Beach.
The Airport is quite a Distance away from the main Beaches and resorts, but transport is plentiful and there`s also a small Village closeby. The only good Photopoint is on the Nai Yang Beach on the west Side of The Airport, you get there after a 15 min. Walk along the Beach.
The Windconditions can change fast, but during my time there about 50% Runway 09 was in use, which means low approaches right over the beach. Runway 27 operations is a little harder to get from this position, but some planes roll out long and taxi close to the Gate. You shouldn`t bee seen too close to the fence by the police though, they will send you away.
Traffic consists of Thai, Bangkok Air and Air Asia as the main local Carriers, but also many other Asian Capitals are connected to Phuket. Then you will see many Charter Carriers from Europe during the main tourist season. The Thai Navy has a small Base on the North Side of the Airport, which widens the variety of traffic even more.

Jinghong Xishuangbanna Gasa Airport (JHG/ZPJH)
This is my first report with pictures from my visit to Jinghong Xhishuangbanna Airport ( JNG ), dating back to 23.12.2008.
The Airport is situated about 5 km southwest of town, easily reachable by all means of transportations. It`s elevation is 550 m AMSL and it has a 2200m RWY 16/34. On the Terminal Side of the airport there`s no view to the Runway except through the windows when you happen to be in the departure area.
However, after cycling around the southern end of the runway and walking along the southwestern side of the Runway I found a elevated area in the Rice fields that provides exellent views to the terminal and the whole runway as well.
The only disappointment are the garbage-nets hanging from bamboo sticks all along the runway. They can disturb your pictures somewhat.
Traffic is not very high, about 20 movements per day, mostly B737 from various Chinese Airlines. Most of them arrive and fly back to Kunming(KMG)
Photo equipement:
The 100-400 suited me just perfect from the mentionded location.
Safety:
I had no troubles with anyone, however it`s always better to keep low profile.
Finally:
There`s airports in China with much more traffic, but given it`s quite easy accessibility this airport provided a interesting afternoon bycicle trip.
