PHUKET
Phuket
is the one of the most famous island of Thailand, which
is often dubbed as the pearl of the Andaman, or the
pearl of the south. Its natural resources- rocky peninsular,
limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad
bays and tropical in-land forests contribute to making
it the South's wealthiest, busiest, most visited and
most popular island and province.
Nestled
in the tropical zone off the west coast of the southern
part of Thailand in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean,
the province covers an area of approximately 543 square
kilometers . It is estimated that Phuket Province covers
an area of approximately 590 square kilometers if its
39 other small islands are included. The islands total
length, from north to south, is estimated at 48.7 kilometers
and approximately 21.3 kilometers wide.

Staying
on the island is very easy, as there are only two seasons
in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the
hot season (November to April). The low season of phuket
is between September and October as they are the wettest
months. The best period for a visit, is from November
to February, when it is possible to see the clear blue
sky, feel the fresh sea breeze and marvel at the crystal
clear water while lying on powdery, palm-fringed beaches.
Average temperatures ranges between 23'C and 33'C.
Phuket's
topology is exceptional with 70 percent of its area
covered with mountains which stretch from north to south
and the remaining 30 percent being plains located in
the central and eastern parts of the island. The island
does not have any major rivers except for a total of
9 brooks and creeks. The province is
divided into 3 administrative counties namely Amphoe
Muang, Amphoe Thalang and Amphoe Kathu.
Phuket
has a lot more to offer its visitors other than its
natural heritage sea, sand, sky, beach, forest, and
world renowned diving sites. Sino-Portuguese architecture
casts its spell delighting travelers to the city, while
Phuket-style hospitality has never failed to impress
visitors from all walks of life. In addition, accommodations
ranging from world-class resorts to tropical-style bungalows
have warmly catered to the different needs of travelers.
For seafood lovers, there is a lot more to sample than
just Phuket's famous lobster. Altogether, these characteristics
have made Phuket a truly unique destination. |
