 Phuket
Information
Phuket is Thailand ’s largest island, approximately the
size of Singapore. Phuket nestles in balmy Andaman Sea waters
on Thailand’s Indian Ocean coastline 862 kilometres south
of Bangkok.
Phuket formerly derives its wealth from tin and rubber, and
enjoyed a rich and colourful history. The island was on one
of the major trading routes between India and China, and was
frequently mentioned in foreign trader’s ship logs.
The Portuguese, French, Dutch and English traded with Phuket.
Other visitors were less friendly. Phuket’s most famous
monument is the memorial statue of the heroines Thao Thepkasattri
and Thao Sisunthon, who rallied islanders in 1785 to repel
Burmese invaders.
Phuket is blessed with magnificent coves and bays, powdery,
palm-fringed white beaches, sparkling island-dotted seas,
sincerely hospitable people, superb accommodations and seafood,
delightful turn-of-the-century Sino-Portuguese architecture;
numerous sporting and leisure opportunities; a lush tropical
landscape – all of which combine to create a delightful
ambience for truly memorable holidays.
