About Phuket

Phuket and its surrounding islands are some of the most beautiful and intriguing in the world. Majestic limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, and probably the most famous of these was used as a location for one of the James Bond films. It’s now known as 'James Bond Island', but its real name is Phang-nga. Located off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea, Phuket is roughly the size of Singapore. The island's main town is Phuket Town, but many visitors prefer to stay in the beach resorts of Surin, Kathu, Karon, and the bustling Patong. Traveling from Phuket Town to Patong takes about 20 minutes. Phuket Town hosts government offices, major business hotels, and department stores, while the beach resorts cater to holidaymakers seeking sun, sand, and relaxation.
