Phuket (How to get there?)

Phuket, located approximately 862km from Bangkok, is Thailand’s largest island and known as Pearl of Andaman / Pearl of the South. Its natural beauty, with powdery white sands, rocky cliffs, and dense forests has made it a popular tourist destination.

The best time to visit Phuket is in the months of November to February. Avoid September and October as these are the wettest months.

With the recent tsunami attack in the South East Asia Region, Phuket is currently on the verge of reconstruction.
