About Phuket
Located 867 kilometres south of Bangkok, Phuket
is Thailand’s largest island, shaped like an irregular pearl and
measuring approximately 21 kilometres long. Connected to the
mainland by a causeway, it has a coastline fringed with white sandy
beaches and quiet coves, bathed by the clear blue waters of the
Andaman Sea and set against a backdrop of green hills, coconut
groves and rubber plantations.Blessed by nature and the smiling hospitality of
its people, and supported by superb tourism facilities, Phuket is
today one of the world’s premier tropical resorts. Palm-fringed
beaches, an island-studded sea, superb accommodation, delicious
seafood, numerous sporting and leisure opportunities and, of course,
year-round sunshine, to conclude the perfect recipe for a truly
memorable holiday.Phuket has two main seasons: rainy from May through to
October and hot from November to April. However, there are sunny
days throughout the wet season, showers customarily lasting little
more than 2-3 hours. The best months to visit are November to
February. Average temperatures range between 22 and 34 degrees
Celsius.
