Phuket
has a split personality.it's an island of two coasts. On the western
shores, you'll find South East Asia's finest white sand beaches with
endless sunsets over the Andaman Sea. By complete contrast, the east
coast presents views of countless limestone islands nestling in the
tranquil blue-green waters of Phang Nga bay; this is picture postcard
material.
Phuket has evolved as a premiere luxury holiday destination, to rival
places such as Ibiza, Bali and Monaco. To compliment the Thai's renowned
reputation for hospitality and cuisine, the island has more recently
developed with world class leisure facilities, including five golf
courses, four marinas and a well connected international gateway
airport.
Originally a centre for tin mining, back in the sixteenth century,
Phuket's economy is now predominately tourism based, although there is a
vibrant rubber industry. This accounts for the incredibly green nature
of the terrain, planted on the flat, and on some unlikely slopes,
seventy percent of the island is covered by rubber tree plantations;
like soldiers about to advance, the trees are precisely planted in
regimented straight lines.
One characteristic of Phuket which makes it absolutely perfect for a holiday home investment is the natural slope which hugs the entire coastline.
This means that most of the private villa development has taken place on hillsides overlooking the sea. As you can imagine, these locations not only provide stunning views but you'll also experience refreshing breezes, delightful for terrace dining or for a massage in your private 'sala'.
This region of Thailand is a honey pot for scuba enthusiasts. Easy to
reach off-shore dive sites surround the island, however, a little
further afield the Similan Islands provide world class coral and big
fish experiences.
Phuket rightly prides itself on providing exciting and varied
entertainment to its visitors and residents alike. A highlight of any
stay in Thailand is the exceptional quality and freshness of the Thai
cuisine. But in Phuket's case it's a little different! The Island's
ethnic DNA is made up predominantly by Buddhists but thirty percent of
the population is Muslim with roots in Malaysia, not far to the south.
This means that there is a strong influence of southern curries here,
adding a twist to an already spicy culinary experience.
