Phuket Maps and Orientation
(Phuket, Thailand, TH)



Thailand's most affluent and popular island, Phuket lies to the south-west and is one of the country's southern provinces. Close to mainland Thailand, Phuket is surrounded by the Andaman Sea and comprises a fairly mountainous terrain, densely forested areas and some coconut plantations.

The western coast of Phuket is home to many exceptional sandy beaches, while those on the eastern coast tend to be less sandy and at times a little muddy. For a great place to view the sunset, many people gather on the southern side of Phuket, around Brahma's Cape, where the views are truly spectacular.

Nearby and on the south-eastern coastline, Phuket City is the capital and is also full of interest, being home to a population of around 60,000 inhabitants.
