Phuket is now a top international tourist destination set in sparkling blue waters of the Andaman Sea, surrounded by clean, white sandy beaches separated by provinces. Roads are good and the views spectacular. Weather is also fabulous, featuring warm, bright sunny morning with sometimes crisp, after noon showers to cool off. No doubt why this island is the "Pearl of the Andaman Sea". There's so much to do, water sports, some of Asia's best diving, world-class golf courses, greats dining, sightseeing and shopping. Or spend your time relaxing, just lying on the beach, perhaps by the pool.
