Phuket, which is somewhat smaller than the size of Singapore, is Thailand’s largest island. One of its most major incomes is tourism. Why? Just look at these gorgeous villas to understand... |
The island is connected to mainland Thailand by two bridges. It is situated off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. |
Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoys a rich and colorful history. |
The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign ship logs of Portuguese, French, Dutch and English traders. |
The region now derives much of its income from tourism. And looking at these villas, we can understand why. |
