Some facts about Phuket
There are many tropical island paradises in the world, but Phuket
continues to rate right up there as one of the very best.
The Thailand's largest island has been a properous region since
the turn of the last century. Tin was discovered in Phuket in large
quantities and it was the visiting Chinese, Indian, Persian and
European businessmen who mined it until it was soon exhausted. It
was then replaced by the lucrative rubber trade, which has since,
over time, been replaced by tourism.
