Phuket In Thailand

Phuket, the largest island of Thailand is located south of Bangkok. It is famous for being called as the ‘Pearl of Andaman’ or the ‘Pearl of the South’. Tourists flock this place round the year. It is well known for its limestone beaches, sandy white beaches, and tropical forests.


The northern side of Phuket is bordered by the Phang-nga Province and rest of the sides are surrounded by the Andaman Sea. This is the place to look out for if you have the knack for diving. Phang-nga Province is linked to the island by Sarasin Bridge and Thep Krasattri Bridge.


Situated off the west coast of the southern part of Thailand in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean, it spans an area of approximately 543 square kilometers. But if the smaller islands are included, then it is estimated to cover an approximate area of 590 kilometers.


If you are planning to visit Phuket, then the best time of the visit is from the month of November to February. During these months, you will enjoy an average temperature of 23 to 33 degree Celsius. What’s more, you will get the opportunity to enjoy the clear blue sky and the caress of the fresh sea breeze and the sight of the crystal blue water. Phuket is also well-liked by the tourists for being endowed with Sino-Portuguese architecture and a sense of hospitality that is typical of Phuket. Travelers can choose from a wide range of accommodations ranging from modern resorts to sprawling bungalows. If you have a chance, you might want to visit Phuket.
