Phuket
Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, knows as “The Pearl of the Andaman” and is situated 867km south of Bangkok. Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoyed a rich and colorful history. The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign trader’s ship logs. In recent times, though, Phuket has become a world known tourist destination, which has transformed the island into Thailand’s wealthiest province.
Phuket not only has spectacular scenery, stunning tropical sunsets, warm blue sea and silky soft white palm-lined beaches, this beautiful island is also a world-class golf destination, with eight golf courses offering unique play, stunning landscape and challenging holes for beginners and experienced golfers.
