Plane crashes in Thailand resort
The plane, carrying 123 passengers, a number of them foreigners, crashed after hitting the runway heavily in strong winds and heavy rain.
Aviation official Chiasak Angkauwan said the number of casualties was not clear but fatalities were feared.
Flight OG 269, operated by budget airline One-Two-Go, was landing after a journey from the capital, Bangkok.
Rescue operations are under way at the airport. Rescuers said the plane caught fire after crashing.
Mr Chiasak said: "The airplane asked to land but due to the weather in Phuket - strong wind and heavy rain - maybe the pilot did not see the runway clearly.
"The plane then fell onto the runway and broke into two."
