Phuket Island Tours
Phuket Island is one of the southern provinces of Thailand. Phuket is Thailand's largest island and approximately the size of Singapore. Phuket Island is well-connected to mainland Thailand by a bridge. It is located in the Andaman Sea of southern Thailand. Phuket enjoyed a rich and colorful history. The Island now earns much of its income from Phuket Island tourism. On your tour to Phuket Island you can select and add attractions from the details given below.
1. Two Heroines Monument - It is Phuket's most renowned monument in Amphoe Thalang and the memorial statue of the heroines Thao Thepkasattri (Kunying Jan) and Thao Sisunthon (Mook), who gathered islanders in 1785 to prevent Burmese invaders.
2. Thalang National Museum - This is situated very near the Two Heroines Monument. The Thalang National Museum was built in 1985 on the 200th anniversary of the Thalang War.

Patong is similarly well famous for its lively nightlife, amongst which seafood restaurants feature significantly.
4. Laem Phromthep- It is a peninsula forming the extreme south end of Phuket. "Phrom" is Thai for the Hindu term, "Brahma," which signifies purity and "Thep" means 'God.' Local villagers of the region used to refer to the cape as "Laem Chao", or the God's Cape, and it was a simply identifiable landmark for the early seafarers traveling up the Malay Peninsula from the sub-continent.

Luang Pho Cham helped the people of Phuket to put down the Angyee, or Chinese Coolie Rebellion in the year of 1876 during the reign of Rama V. There are also statues of Luang Pho Chuang, and Luang Pho Cham, abbots of the temple during later times.

Phuket Island - Popular Travel Destination in Thailand
Phuket has grown into one of the premier holiday destinations in South East Asia and is one of the busiest travel destinations of Thailand. It has replaced Bali as the most popular holiday island in the region.
What makes Phuket island such a great travel destination?
Phuket is first of all an inexpensive holiday destination. Phuket hotels, resorts and guesthouses can be found in all price categories and ratings and prices are considerably cheaper then what one would encounter in Europe or America.
Dining in restaurants or buying drinks in bars or clubs on Phuket is also less expensive then what most tourists are used to paying back in their home countries.
Phuket Beaches
The palm tree lined beaches of Phuket Island are of course world famous due to its crystal white sand and clear water of the Andaman Sea. Some of the nicest and most popular beaches found on Phuket Island are the beaches at Patong, Kamala, Karon, Kata and Nai Harn.
Phuket Nightlife
The Phuket nightlife is another reason why many tourists visit Phuket each year on holiday. Many tourists seem to keep coming back each year for especially the nightlife and bars of Phuket.
Most Phuket island nightlife venues can be found in Patong beach along the well known Soi Bangla. A number of large clubs are located along Bangla road in Patong including the very popular Tiger disco and the new Seduction Disco.
You can also find along Bangla road and the many small streets leading into Soi Bangla hundreds of beer bars. Each beer bar has a number of beautiful Thai ladies working for them who there to please the clients.
Phuket Shopping
Going shopping in Phuket in the past was not one of the most interesting activities for tourists due to the lack of a good variety of shops and products. Most of the shops sold the same tailor made clothing, bootleg movies and software and fake designer clothing.
Over the last few years however, a number of large shopping malls have opened on Phuket housing well known international retailers, unique local boutiques as well as international restaurant outlets such as Outback steakhouse and Burger King.
If you are going to visit Phuket for a holiday then please make sure to visit the brand new Phuket Junkceylon mall in Patong or the Central Carnival Mall along the Phuket by-pass road.
