Phuket is the biggest island in Thailand, located in the Andaman Sea of southern Thailand. The
island is mostly mountainous with a mountain range in the west of the island from the north to
the south. The mountains of Phuket form the southern end of the Phuket mountain range, which
ranges for 440 kilometres from the Kra Isthmus.
In addition, the name Phuket is relatively recent having previously been named Jung Ceylon and
Thalang. The highest elevation of the island is usually regarded as Khao Mai Thao Sip Song
(Twelve Canes), at 529 metres above sea level.
The western coast has several sandy beaches, while on the east coast beaches are more often
muddy. Near the southernmost point is Laem Promthep (Brahma's Cape), which is a popular
sunset viewing point. In the mountainous north of the island is the Khao Phra Thaeo Nonhunting Area, protecting more than 20 km of rainforest.
2004 Tsunami
On December 26, 2004, Phuket and other nearby areas on Thailand's western coast suffered
extensive damage when they were struck by the Boxing Day tsunami, caused by the 2004 Indian
Ocean earthquake. The waves destroyed several highly populated areas in the region. Almost all
of the major beaches on the west coast, especially Kamala, Patong, Karon and Kata, sustained
major damage, with some damage caused to resorts and villages on the island's southern beaches.
By February 2005 many damaged resorts were back to business, and life slowly returned to
normal. Following strenuous recovery programs, no tsunami damage can now be seen except in
the most remote beaches.
In early December 2006, Thailand launched the first of the 22 U.S.-made tsunami-detection
buoys to be positioned around the Indian Ocean as part of a regional warning system. The
satellite-linked deep-sea buoy floats 1,000 km (620 mi) offshore, roughly midway between
Thailand and Sri Lanka.
Climate
Phuket has a tropical climate, more specifically a tropical monsoon climate, with a dry season
from November to April and a rainy season from May to October. Average temperatures are
consistent year-round. Average highs range from 29 C (84 F) to 33 C (91 F); average lows
range
from
23
(73 F)
to

(79 F).

Attractions
One of the most popular tourist areas on Phuket is Patong Beach on the central western coast,
perhaps owing to the easy access to its wide and long beach. Most of Phuket's nightlife and its
cheap shopping is located in Patong, and the area has become increasingly developed. Patong
means "the forest filled with banana leaves" in Thai. Other popular beaches are located south of
Patong. In a counterclockwise direction these include Karon Beach, Kata Beach, Kata Noi
Beach, and around the southern tip of the island, Nai Harn Beach and Rawai. To the north of
Patong are Kamala Beach, Surin Beach and Bang Tao Beach. These areas are generally much
less developed than Patong, and sought out by individuals, families and other groups with a
preference for more relaxed and less crowded environs than Patong. There are many islands to
the southeast, including Bon Island, just a short boat trip away. There are several coral islands to
the south of Phuket, the Similan Islands lie to the north west, and Phi Phi Islands to the south
east. Islanders engage in a lively tourist trade, catering to snorkellers and scuba divers.
Wat Chalong is where stands the cast statue of Luang Pho Cham
Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Sri Sunthon defended the island in the late eighteenth century.
According to popular belief, they repelled a five-week invasion by Burmese in 1785, by dressing
up as male soldiers and rallying Siamese troops. Chan and Muk were later honored by King
Rama I with the Thai honorific Thao, as Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Sri Sunthon,
respectively.We chose this name because its important for the islands history.
