Phuket, People, Places, Shopping and What to do is all about exactly that, our look at what this tropical Paradise Phuket has to offer.
Phuket Island (pronounced puu gèt) (ภูเก็ต) , is Thailand’s largest at 48km in length and 21km at its widest. It’s in Southern Thailand, on the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline, suspended from the southern tip of Phang Nga Province by a pair of short but substantial road bridges.
Phuket is one of Thailand’s wealthiest provinces and nestled on the Andaman Sea.
The Phuket island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China and was frequently mentioned in foreign trader’s ship logs.
In recent times, though, Phuket’s top earner has been tourism, which has transformed the island into Thailand’s wealthiest province.
