Secret Thailand > Phuket
Phuket is easily accessible by car, as there is a bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Alternately, the Phuket International Airport is located in the northern part of the island.
The most popular areas of Phuket lie along the western coast. The white sand beaches and turquoise water are the perfect setting for a holiday. The interior of the island is quite mountainous. Harvesting rubber from rubber trees is Phuket's second largest source of income after tourism. Much of Phuket's land away from the beach is covered with rubber trees. Because the beaches on the eastern coast aren't as inviting as their western counterpoints, this section of Phuket is comparatively undeveloped.
