Description: Phuket nestles in the Andaman Sea close to the Malaysian peninsula. The off-shore islands with their awesome limestone outcrops and coral gardens provide some of the most spectacular dive territory in the world. Phuket has become one of South East Asia's most desirable tourist destinations. It has the exotic charm of tropical splendour with stretches of idyllic beaches, patches of unspoiled jungles, and ancient caves that were home to its early inhabitants.
