Phuket

The biggest draw of the south cannot be any other than Phuket, Thailand's dreamy island province in the Andaman Sea. The word "Phuket" come from the Malayan word "Bukit" which means mountain. It is so called because, from a distance, Phuket Island looks like a mountain rising from the sea. Formely known as Ko (Island) Thalang, Phuket was only noted for its rich tin ores, from which its wealth was derived. With its magnificient long white beaches, its luxuriant vegetation, its crytal blue sea water, its fantastic undersea scenery, its calm and relaxing tropical atmosphere, and its fresh prawns, lobters and other kinds of seafood, Phuket, the Pearl of the South, entices many visitors to visit her again and again.
