Getting to Know Phuket

Phuket is Thailand's largest island, a idyllic site for the country's premier international beach resort. Much of the
island's charm is that the ocean facing west coast is lined with a series of bays where white sand beaches span
between two rocky points. This makes for a series of relatively intimate places rather than one big unbroken stretch
of sand lined with high rise hotels and packed with people. As befits a mature international resort destination,
Phuket has a large variety of sun and surf activities so that there's something for just about everyone. Some would
argue that Phuket's development as an international destination has made it a little less exotic. While this is
certainly true of some places, there's still a lot of local color to be found for those willing to step away from the
beach and look for it.
