Largest Island Phuket is Thailand's largest island. Approximately the size of Singapore, it is nestled against the Indian Ocean coast about 87 kilometers south of Bangkok. The island, a thriving major international resort, has a rich and colorful history. It derives its wealth from tin and rubber, and is blessed with teeming marine life.

Phuket island has been well known for a long time, first by miners and later by travelers. The beauty of the beaches, the fascinating landscape and the elegance of the coral reefs under the sea, resulted in it being dubbed the Pearl of the South.

Phuket's glory is its majestic coastline. Thailand's southern isle of paradise, Phuket Island is bounteously provided with a wide array of attractive beaches and idyllic islands surrounded by the warm turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Beaches range from gentle crescents of sand with calm waters to rocky headlands pounded by raging surf. The island's western shore is dotted with dozens of spectacular beaches, bays, capes, cliffs and coral reefs.
