Phuket, pronounced "pu-ged", is Thailand's largest island. It is 48 km in length, 21 km at its widest, and is in Southern Thailand, on the west-facing Andaman Sea coastline, suspended from the southern tip of Phang Nga Province by a pair of short but substantial road bridges, "Sapan Sarasin".

Western Phuket (Bang Thao, Kamala, Karon, Kata, Laem Sing, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Nai Yang, Patong, Surin) This region is what Phuket is known for the world over. There is a wide variety of beaches and many Phuket rentals are available in this area. Patong is one of the party capitals of Asia.

Southeastern Phuket (Chalong Bay, Cape Panwa, Nai Han, Rawai, Ya Nui) Slightly off-beat beaches that are worth the trip. Chalong Bay is the largest town that acts as a harbour for outgoing boats to Phang Nga Bay and boasts more peaceful Phuket rentals in this area.

Interior Phuket (Bang Rong, Ko Sire, Phuket Town, Phra Taew National Park, Thalang) Besides Phuket Town, the interior of Phuket is pretty much unheard of by foreign visitors, an ideal retreat for those searching an alternative Phuket Rental property. This fertile hilly expanse consists of mangrove forests, fishing villages, rubber and pineapple plantations, small Muslim communities and shrimp farms. The Phra Taew National Park is a nice escape from the tourist crowds, as is the Gibbon Project.

Phang Nga Bay (Ko Bon, Ko Hae, Ko Lon, Ko Mai Thon, Ko Maphrao, Ko Racha, Ko Yao) Famous for its limestone cliffs, caves, mangroves, fishing villages and James Bond Island. This area offers more exquisite Rentals away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket.
