Travel Thailand

In the heart of Southeast Asia lies Thailand. It is a natural gateway to Indochina, Myanmar and Southern China. Thailand has four natural regions: to the North are mountains and forests; Central Plains have vast rice fields; Northeast plateau is where the semi-arid farm lands are located and, the South along the coastline is where you'll find tropical islands and beautiful coastlines.

There are 76 provinces located in the country, divided into districts, sub-districts and villages. The capital city of Bangkok is the center of political, industrial and cultural activities and is also the home of Thailand's revered Royal Family with His Majesty the King who is recognized as Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces, Upholder of the Buddhist and all religions.

Phuket Thailand 

Phuket (formerly known as Tha-Laang or Talang) is one of the southern provinces of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are Phang Nga and Krabi, but as Phuket is an island there are no land boundaries.

Phuket is located 862 kilometers south of Bangkok and is considered the pearl of Andaman and the south. It is Thailand's largest island, and has an abundance of natural resources including the rocky peninsular, limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches and tranquil broad bays. As well, there are tropical inland forests that contribute to making these southern spots the busiest, most visited and wealthiest island and province in Thailand.

The ever expanding luxury villa rentals in Thailand offer some of the best properties for luxury vacations. At the forefront is Phuket with its highly developed infrastructure complete with excellent roads, hospitals and the ability to provide all of the amenities any visitor would need. There are an abundance of developers going with trends and building villa developments around the Marinas, near the golf course and in the mountains throughout the island. In the end, they are offering an unmatched slice of vacation paradise for incoming guests.

Phuket Weather 

Just inside the tropical zone and off the west coast of the southern part of Thailand in the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean, Phuket province covers an area of about 543 square kilometers with an estimated size as large as 590 square kilometers if you include its 39 small islands. In total, from north to south, the island is estimated to be 48.7 kilometers and 21.3 kilometers wide.

Once you arrive at Phuket, it would be very easy never to leave. As it is, there are only two seasons with the rainy season lasting from May to October and the hot season going from November to April. The lowest season for Phuket is between September and October because that's when the season is at its wettest. The best visiting season is between November and February, when the skies are blue and sea breeze fresh and invigorating. Visitors marvel at the crystal clear water, powdery, palm lined beaches with average temperatures ranging from 23C to 33C.

Phuket Property, Real Estate & Villas 

Thailand's property perspective is healthy, with luxury villas being rented all the time. According to international property analysts, growth factors in the villa rental market is due primarily to Hong Kong and Singapore professionals taking advantage of luxury villa rentals at very competitive rates worldwide, and the increasing numbers of expatriates flocking with their highly disposable income to the area. Thailand is only a few hours away from two-thirds of the global population. As a result, there is a huge untapped market looking for vacation deals.
