Phuket Located approximately 862 kilometers south of Bangkok is Phuket,
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.
Nestled in the tropical zone off the west coast of the southern part of Thailand
in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean, the province covers an area of
approximately 543 square kilometers (excluding small islets). It is estimated
that Phuket Province covers an area of approximately 590 square kilometers
if its 39 other small islands are included. The islands total length, from north
to south, is estimated at 48.7 kilometers and approximately 21.3 kilometers
wide.
Phuket borders on Phang-nga Province to the north. The other 3 sides are
encircled by the Andaman Sea the place where many of the best diving sites
are located. The island is connected to Phang-nga Province by Sarasin Bridge
and Thep Krasattri Bridge.Staying on the island is easy, as there are only two
seasons in a year - the rainy season (May to October) and the hot season
(November to April). The low season of phuket is between September and
October as they are the wettest months. The best period for a visit, is from
November to February, when it is possible to see the clear blue sky, feel the
fresh sea breeze and marvel at the crystal clear water while lying on powdery,
palm-fringed beaches. Average temperatures ranges between 23°C and 33°C.
Phuket's topology is exceptional with 70 percent of its area covered with
mountains which stretch from north to south and the remaining 30 percent
being plains located in the central and eastern parts of the island. The island
does not have any major rivers except for a total of 9 brooks and
creeks.Phuket is divided into 3 administrative counties namely Amphoe
Muang, Amphoe Thalang and Amphoe Kathu.
