Phuket,
Thailand's largest island is one of the most popular tourist
destinations in Southeast Asia and is also the main city on
the island. This island is rich in natural resources and is
separated from the mainland by a narrow sea channel which is
connected by a bridge. There are long beautiful sandy
beaches, rocky coast lines and places with large limestone
cliffs facing the ocean. There is a lot to do in Phuket, and
consequently, a lot to spend your money too.
