Phuket Island is the largest island in Thailand, and by far definitely the most famous next to Bangkok. Blue waters, sandy beaches, great food, and diving are all part of the attraction. Arriving from all over the world, travelers flock to Phuket for relaxation and adventure, and the island rates as one of the most popular destinations in Thailand. One of the main reasons is that Phuket has an exceptional climate. The monsoon arrives here earlier than on the other side of the gulf, with rain only once or twice a day during the rainy period. Overall, Phuket Island is a stunning destination of golden beaches, turquoise seas, green hills, mangroves and rainforest. With all of these combined, you have an ideal destination for a short getaway or long holiday.
