Phuket is the biggest island of Thailand, located in the
Andaman Sea of Southern Thailand.
The island is mostly mountainous with a mountain range in the west of the island from the north to the south. The mountains of Phuket form the southern end of the
Phuket mountain range. It is estimated that Phuket has a total area of approximately 570 square kilometres (220 sq mi) (including the province's other islands). Phuket is approximately 536 miles (863 km) south of Bangkok, and covers an area of approximately 543 square kilometres (210 sq mi) excluding
Phuket-
Patong beach -swapna Saha small islets. It is estimated that if all its 39 other small islands are included, Phuket Province will cover an area of approximately 590 square kilometres (230 sq mi). The island total length, from north to south, is estimated at 30 miles (48 km) and 13 miles (21 km) wide.
Forest, rubber and palm oil plantations cover 60%!o(MISSING)f the island. The Western coast has several sandy beaches, while on the east coast beaches are more often muddy.,
One of the most popular tourist areas on Phuket is
Patong Beach ,on the central western coast, perhaps owing to the easy access to its wide and long beach. Most of Phuket's nightlife and its cheap shopping is located in Patong, and the area has become increasingly Developed. Patong means "the forest filled with
banana leaves" in
Thai. Other popular
beaches are located south of Patong.

Kata Beach,
Kata Noi Beach, and around the southern tip of the island,
Nai Harn Beach and Rawai. To the north of Patong are
