Phuket Beaches and Islands
Phuket, which is approximately the size of Singapore,
is Thailand’s largest island. The island is connected to mainland
Thailand by two bridges. It is situated off the west coast of Thailand
in the Andaman Sea. Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoyed a rich and colorful history. The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China,
and was frequently mentioned in foreign ship logs of Portuguese,
French, Dutch and English traders. The region now derives much of its
income from tourism.
One of the most popular tourist areas on Phuket is Patong Beach on
the central western coast, perhaps owing to the easy access to its wide
and long beach. Most of Phuket's nightlife and its cheap shopping is
located in Patong, and the area has become increasingly developed.
Patong means "the forest filled with banana leaves" in Thai.
