Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, but also its second smallest province. Located on south Thailand’s west coast, facing the Andaman Sea, it enjoys great popularity as a beach lovers must-see destination. What it lacks in historical sites, Phuket makes up in the form of pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Diving enthusiasts often visit due to its close proximity to Similan Marine National Park and the dive spots around Phi Phi Islands. Also recognized as a world class golfing destination the island has many golf courses and the nearby mainland offers first rate golfing facilities.
