Maiton Island or Timber Island as the local Thai population call it (due to the heavily forested landscape) is a tranquil little island located approximately 9 kilometres off the southeast coast of Phuket in southern Thailand. Situated between Phuket and Phi Phi Island, this small slice of heaven on earth is overlooked by most tourists and tour operators visiting Phuket (and surrounding regions) because of the limited infrastructure which exists on the island.
But the lush tropical vegetation and cool sea breezes mean that temperatures are quite pleasant here and range between 21-35 degrees Celsius. In addition, the island also has a lovely beach located adjacent to the resort, and it provides white sand which looks similar to talcum powder.
