Phuket Hotels
Situated at a distance of 862 kms from Bangkok, Phuket is mesmerizing with its blue lagoons and bright orange sunsets. It is the largest island in Thailand and is often known as “The Pearl of the South”. It is known thus because of the many attractions it has to offer, and the beauty is beyond comparison. From the stubbornness of rocky peninsula to the jaggedness of limestone cliffs and from the shimmering white beaches to the wilderness of tropical forests, Phuket has it all.
Phuket has 39 islands and each one of them is like a virgin territory, unexplored and beckoning to be touched. You can travel to Phuket using the Sarasin Bridge or the Thep Krasattri Bridge from Phang-nga Province. There are two distinct tourist seasons in Phuket. The rainy season that starts from May to October and the summer from November to April; September-October is the wettest and most people prefer to remain indoors.
The two biggest attractions in Phuket are the sea and the architecture. The sea offers various adventure sport activities from sea diving to other water sports while the Sino-Portuguese architecture is irresistible. Another thing that you will love about Phuket is the simple and delicious sea food especially large King size lobsters. Some of the places you should not miss out on while visiting Phuket are the Wat Chalong (famous Buddhist temple), Rang Hill (you can get a panoramic view of Phuket from here), Promthep Cape (don’t miss the sunset) and the beaches (Patong, Kata, Nai Yang, Surin and Laem Singha).
