About Phuket

Thailand's largest island, joined to the mainland by a bridge and served by its own international airport, so no ferry is needed to arrive. Phuket is big, and the beach you pick changes the trip: Patong is dense and busy, while the northern and southern beaches are quieter and further apart. Calm seas and high season run November to April; the monsoon brings rough water and rain from May to October.
