SOMEONE wrote once that Thais don't walk through life, they dance through life. Well, it turns out that some of them prefer to fly through life.

And judging by the enthusiastic early morning turnout at the new Phuket Airpark for the first serious open day of flying, plenty of people of all ages and backgrounds would really like to take to the air.

Some of them settled for small kites, with strings attached. Others wouldn't settle for less than larger kites.

All in all, it looked like it was going to be a blue skies kind of day, with plenty of fun activities.
