Travel Guide Asia Thailand South Thailand Phuket Province Phuket City
Phuket is the capital of the island province of Phuket, which is in South Thailand. While most travellers come to the island for its beaches, Phuket City is where the main airport is located. Moreover, it is where travellers can experience the true culture of Phuket which is unique and interesting. The architecture is also one thing that shouldn't be missed. You will find shops in 70 to 100 year-old Sino-Portuguese style buildings on several roads around Phuket Town area that are worth visiting.
People who are staying longer than a week or so should find it easy to buy their groceries from the Tesco Lotus Hyper market. The prices over there are ridiculously cheap and one can easily get the fresh fruit, especially the award winning coconut, pine apples, mangosteen at good prices.
Like much of Thailand, the weather here is of the tropical variety, meaning hot and humid conditions year-round. Temperatures hover around 32 °C during the day and 25 °C at night, with just a few degrees difference between the warmest and coolest months. Humidity is mostly around 80% or more, so be sure to drink enough fluids! November to February in general is the driest time of the year, with just some regular showers (later afternoon) and a mix of clouds and sun. Rain increases from March onwards, reaching a peak in August and September before preparing again for the somewhat drier and cooler season.
Phuket International Airport (HKT) is located about 30 kilometres from Phuket City and has a wide range of international flights. International destinations include Kuala Lumpur, Berlin, Munich, Beijing, Seoul, Milan, Rome, Taipei, Guangzhou, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Penang, Sydney, Shanghai, Singapore, Perth, Moscow, Kaohsiung, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Domestic services are Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and Pattaya.
