| The
dream of an idyllic escape into a tropical island world
becomes a reality on Phuket, Thailand's southern paradise
isle. Shaped like an irregular pearl and measuring approximately
21 kilometres wide by 48 kilometres long, Phuket is
Thailand's largest island, a province in its own right.
Sparsely populated outside Phuket town, the landscape
is one of lush green hills, coconut groves, rubber plantations
and a coastline dotted with a dozen spectacular beaches. |
