Phuket is located in the tropical zone off the west coast of the southern part of Thailand in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is Thailand's largest island, 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.

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.
