Beautiful Phuket – The Treasure of Andaman Sea
Phuket is one of the world’s most famed tropical destinations, situated in the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea, on the Thailand’s south-west coast, about 850 kilometers south of Bangkok, the capital city. The largest island as well as the only island in the country with provincial status, Phuket is sometimes acknowledged with the titles, ‘the Pearl of the South,’ and ‘the Pearl of the Andaman.’
Earlier known as Talang, Phuket has a long interesting history that dates back to more than 500 years ago. Once an important trade route between India and China, Phuket also flourished as a prominent center of tin manufacturing, which attracted many Europeans including the British and the Dutch to come here and settle down. The Battle of Talang would be perhaps the most important event in the history of Phuket, during which the Burmese invaders were defeated under the leadership of two women.
With its awe-inspiring landscape comprising beautiful white sandy beaches, sparkling blue sea, magnificent coves and bays, lush green forested areas, amazing cliffs, and Indo-Portuguese mansions and buildings, Phuket has now become a prominent tourist spot, drawing holidaymakers from across the world.
The province of Phuket consists of three administrative regions such as: Mueang Phuket, situated in the island’s southern region; Kathu District – the mecca of tourist activities in the destination; and Thalang, which is in the northern region of Phuket.
The major attraction of the destination is undoubtedly its stunning coastline, with a mix of gorgeous white sandy beaches, fantastic limestone cliffs, and rocky outcrops.

For instance, nothing would be better than a visit to museums in the region for those interested in the historical past of the region, such as the Thalang National Museum, which has on display artifacts and exhibits dating back to the historical period.
