Phuket is a tourist attraction in which country?

Phuket is a tourist attraction in Thailand.

Phuket is located in the southeast of the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean. It is the only island in Thailand that has been granted provincial status. This is a famous holiday island with pure environment. Phuket covers an area of 576 square kilometers and has a tropical monsoon climate. The main agricultural products in Phuket are rubber, coconut, cashew nuts and pineapple. In addition, there are shrimp farms and artificial pearl farms in the east and south of Phuket, but tourism is still the first source of income in Phuket. Phuket is connected to the Andaman coast in southern Thailand by a bridge.

The earliest aborigines in Phuket are some very short primitive tribes, which still exist in Malaysia. These primitive tribes live by hunting and the roots of fruits or plants in the tropical rain forest. According to related reports, these primitive dwarf clan lived in the dense jungle in the center of Phuket until the middle of19th century, but eventually they were completely relocated because a large number of miners came to Phuket to mine tin mines.

geographical environment

Located between 7 45'–815' north latitude and 9815'–98 40' east longitude, there are 39 small islands around Phuket, all under the administrative jurisdiction of Phuket Town, covering an area of 570 square kilometers. 70% of Phuket is mountainous. Except for the urban area, the whole island is full of hills covered with trees. The highest peak is MaiToa SipSong, 529 meters above sea level, which is located at the junction of TambonPatong and Kathu District. The rest of the flat land is mainly located in the middle and south.

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and most tourists gather in Pattaya Beach or Phuket Town, which are the two major centers of Phuket. One is better than the island scenery and the other is better than the ancient buildings, but it is favored by tourists because of its perfect service. Phuket is located in the tropics, with a humid tropical climate and no winter in summer.
