The country’s largest island, most populous, most visited island, a whirl of color and cosmopolitanism that’s a province into itself, Phuket Island is dubbed by the tourist industry. The coastal terrain of the 810 sq.km island encompasses broad, sandy bays, rocky peninsulas, limestone cliffs, forested hills and tropical vegetation while the interior has rice paddies, rubber, cashew nut, cacao, pineapple and coconut plantations, as well as Phuket Island’s last bit of island rainforest. Although Phuket Island is connected to Phang Nga province by a causeway, most visitors arrive via the island’s international airport located near its northern tip.
