Phuket
is the
largest island in Thailand.
|
An
island of contrasts, Phuket has much to offer its visitors.
White sandy beaches abound the west coast and mangrove
lined shores, the east. A range of hills runs down her
back from north to south, dividing the island in half.
Waterfalls, especially in the 'wet' season spill into
rock pools, scattered down the slopes. In the distance,
islands rear out of the Andaman Sea, waiting to be explored.
As to entertainment, whether it's water sports, horse
riding, jungle walking, eating out, watching a show, dancing,
elephant trekking, or playing golf, whatever your fancy,
this island has it all.

Phuket and its surrounding
water's are world renowned for their spectacular beauty
and nature's artistic hand. Phang Nga Bay to the northeast
of Phuket has been the set of two 'James Bond movies'
as well as others. Not forgetting the more recent filming
of 'The Beach' on the islands to the south of Phang
Nga.
For those who like to splash around in the water, one
can go snorkelling along one of shores of the west coast
or take a dive trip to one of the many islands lying
off shore. You charter a yacht and spend your days drifting
from island to island or go windsurfing.

Elephant trekking is a new attraction
on the island. Due to a decrease in the logging industry
throughout Thailand, many of these animals have been brought
to Phuket. What a wonderful way to see the jungles of
this area, sitting atop one of the largest creatures that
roam our planet, away from the buzz of cities and the
office.
On arrival, it is evident from the many plantations one
passes that farming is still a source of income on Phuket.
Many of these offer tours where one can see how rubber
is tapped or coconuts harvested or you can visit one of
the many orchid farms.
There is simply so much to do. If planning a business
trip, rather than a holiday, it may be advised to take
a few days leave at the same time. You'll be well pleased
you did. Relax around the hotel pool, go out on the town
or wander around the temples
this island has much
to offer.
Climate
There are two season,rainy season and the hot season.
Rain rarely lasts longer than a few hours in the tropics
and the sun soon shows itself again. Average temperatures
in Phuket are between the 25 to 30 degree mark year round,
with it being slightly cooler during the rainy season.
This is an island for all season and there is something
to offer the visitor, whatever the weather. |
