Phuket (
Thai: ภูเก็ต,
[pʰūː.kèt] (
listen),
Malay:
Talang or
Tanjung Salang) is one of the southern
provinces (changwat) of Thailand. It consists of the island of Phuket,
the country's largest island, and another 32 smaller islands off its coast.
[1] It lies off the west coast of
Thailand in the
Andaman Sea. Phuket Island is connected by the Sarasin Bridge to
Phang Nga Province to the north. The next nearest province is
Krabi, to the east across
Phang Nga Bay.
Phuket Province has an area of 576 square kilometres (222 sq mi), somewhat less than that of
Singapore, and is the second-smallest province of Thailand. It formerly derived its wealth from
tin and
rubber, and enjoys 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 ship logs of Portuguese, French, Dutch, and English traders. The region now derives much of its income from
tourism.
