Phuket, Provincial capital city in southern Thailand.
Phuket stretches across 50 kilometers in length and 20 kilometers in width, featuring a mix of beaches, hills, and dense tropical forests.
The city developed as a crucial trading post between India and China during the 16th century, where merchants exchanged spices, textiles, and tin.
The annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival in October includes ceremonies at Chinese temples, street processions, and traditional meat-free dishes.
Transportation options include the Grab taxi app, local buses connecting main tourist sites, and rental scooters for independent exploration.
The Khao Phra Thaeo National Park contains the last remaining evergreen rainforest in Phuket, spanning 20 square kilometers with multiple waterfalls.
