Phuket is an island in the Andaman Sea situated in southern Thailand. As a major tourist destination in the Southeast Asian region, it attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world each year. It is served by Phuket International Airport, which is located in the north of the island. The main modes of transportation in the city are buses, passenger trucks, taxis, cyclos and tuk tuks. However, being an island, boast are also a very important mode of transport, connecting Phuket to the mainland nearby islands. There are numerous accommodation options in Phuket, from inexpensive lodgings to luxury resorts. The island, which is undergoing intensive development at the moment, has many new hotels, apartments and houses that are currently in construction.
Though known for its notoriously loud and raunchy nightlife, which is concentrated mainly in Patong Beach, Phuket's main attraction is its natural beauty. Blessed with sandy beaches, a mountain range and verdant rainforests, the island delights nature lovers with jungle trekking, bird watching, snorkeling and elephant riding, as well as parks, wildlife centers and nature reserves. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy diving, fishing, water skiing, sailing, kayaking and surfing at Phuket's many beaches, like Karon, Kata, Nai Harn, Kamala and Surin, or in the nearby Similan and Phi Phi Islands. At the top of everyone's list of leisurely activities in Phuket is - spa treatments. Scattered throughout the island, they provide weary travelers with well-deserved rest and relaxation. Visitors can also try out the many restaurants and clubs that offer a dazzling array of food and ambiance, to suit every taste and preference
Families and discerning individuals can go on island tours, rock climbing, play mini golf and visit theme parks like Phuket FantaSea. To make your trip even more memorable, it is best to plan your holiday to coincide with one of Phuket's many events or festivals. The island often plays host to international events such as: yacht racing, fireworks displays, triathlons and regattas, as well as traditional celebrations like Loi Krathong and Songkran. However, if a quiet afternoon is more your thing, pay a visit to the Thalang National Museum, the Phuket Sea Shell Museum or the many historic temples. Shoppers are advised to bring large suitcases, as Phuket's been described as a shopaholic's 'dream come true'. There are open-air village markets, noisy night markets, street stalls and modern department stores, which sell everything under the sun and more. A good number of upmarket boutiques sell traditional handicrafts, designer clothing, jewellery, antiques and housewares.
Though Phuket was greatly affected by the tsunami of December 2004, barely a year later, most of the physical damage caused by the tsunami had gone. Much of the tourist industry, which drives the Phuket economy, has since been restored. To visit Phuket, obtain your Visa at Royal Thai Embassies and Consulates. A single-entry tourist Visa (valid for 3 or 6 months) will cost about USD25. Tourist Visas will allow you to stay in Thailand for up to 30 or 60 days, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at an immigration office. Americans and nationals of some 40 other countries need not apply for a tourist visa for stays not exceeding 30 days. |
