The dream of an idyllic escape into
a tropical island world becomes
a reality on Phuket, Thailand's
southern paradise isle. Shaped
like an irregular pearl and
measuring approximately 21 kilometres
wide by 48 kilometres long,
Phuket is Thailand's largest
island, a province in its own
right. Sparsely populated outside
Phuket town, the landscape is
one of lush green hills, coconut
groves, rubber plantations and
a coastline dotted with a dozen
spectacular beaches.
