My hometown is Phuket. I like it a lot. Phuket is the largest island inThailand, located some 860 kilometres south of Bangkok in the tropical Andaman Sea on the western coast of southern Thailand. The island is sizeable at around 570 square kilometres. Phuket is home to an estimated population of around 500,000 people, made up mainly of Thai Buddhists, but roughly 30 percent of the populace are Muslims, as evident by the mosques, halal cuisine, and traditional attire in which they can be seen. Some 8˚N of the Equator, and well below the latitudes of destructive tropical storms, Phuket's balmy tropical climate is tempered by cool NE breezes from November to March, and by fresh on-shore winds in summer months.
Phuket has a long history of playing host to foreigners. Phuket Town was founded in the 1st century B.C. by colonists from India. Ptolemy, a Greek geographer in the third century A.D., referred to it as ‘Jang Si Lang' – which later became ‘Junk Ceylon' and this is the name you will see on ancient maps of Thailand, or Siam.
Phuket is a very popular beaches, people here very friendly even have many people in many country but there’re kind to all the visitor, mostly situated along the clear waters of the western shore. The island is home to many high-end seaside resorts, spas and restaurants. Patong, the main town, has a more casual vibe and is filled with wild nightclubs, bars and discos.
As you may imagine, since Phuket is a tourist destination, there are plenty of interesting things to see and many things do in Phuket. Some of the attractions are very touristy such as Phuket Fantasea or a LadyBoy Cabaret while other places. I just want to say that Phuket is a big island and it's great to get out and explore.
Phuket has become a favorite destination for tourists from different parts of the world that make the reason why the island became a popular choice for investment properties such as retirement villas, homes, and land. Some of these properties have been turned into resorts, cottages, and villas for rent and their owners are really earning great returns.
I have been to many cities in this world, but still I regard Phuket to be the most beautiful city amongst all. Last month I went to Japan and everybody knows that how beautiful it is, but still I was keen to return to my hometown. There is so much greenery in Phuket whereas I was not able to find enough in Japan. I think that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I think I can highlight all the good features of Phuket because it is my city, and that it is the reason, I often ignore the good features of other cities in the world.
Right now I am living in my hometown and I wish live over here for the rest of my life.
