Pronounced Poo-ket, the Island of Phuket is commonly referred to as the "Pearl of the South". As the largest island in Thailand, lying in the perfectly clear and warm waters of the Andaman Sea off the south-west coast of Thailand, this fantastic island literally is a tropical paradise.
Phuket really does have everything that you could ask for - jungles and mountains, rivers and countryside, islands and beaches, temples and palaces, cities and technology…in fact, there are few places on earth that can offer so much.
There are so many stunning beaches on Phuket that at any time of year you can choose between, for example, the lively beach at Patong or the sublimely peaceful Mai Khoa beach at the north of the island with its 19km stretch of pure golden sand.
There are many islands off Phuket which you can visit by one of the many boats leaving either the main pier in Phuket town or one of the piers on the beaches. There is the famous island of Kho Phi Phi where “The Beach” was filmed, James Bond Island where some of the scenes in “The Man With The Golden Gun” were filmed. This is to name but a few.
