Phuket's original name was once Phukej, which stands for Crystal City and then one for the clear waters, as well as the high Methverbauch (Crystal) could have been. So sure is there is to date no.

In any case, the laws for drug smuggling and possession are so hard, that there is very little consumer. An Rezeptionen, in taxis or on the streets one sees occasional dropouts but still typical drug users or dealers appear to be probably very rare.
As for the crystal clear waters, so it is a pity, that here little protection of nature has been operated. The beaches in Phuket should have been absolutely gorgeous again. What the mass tourism has however caused, can no longer be overlooked.
The beach quality hard beaches within the Phuket peninsula is not far removed from Ballermann level, so that one of the deserted beach with powder soft sand on other islets must go.
Who is considered to Phuket via Google Maps from above notice that the peninsula of Thailand just 21,3 Km wide and 48.7 Km long. The first idea here, some routes to run on foot and thus possibly to save money often subject to the misperception, that it is very flat and thus hardly curvy in Germany. Phuket is the opposite, offering through the mountainous landscape (70% Mountain landscape with the highest peak “Mai Tao Sip Song” with 529m ) not only beautiful viewing platforms, but also a mountain and valley ride for those who want to from A to B.
To the north of Phuket lies Phang-Nga, which by the fishing town, the reservoir, the mangrove cave systems in the Hong Islands or James Bond Island is known.
The Weather Phuket is dominated by monsoons. During the rainy season (May – Nov) the wind blows from the southwest and there is an increased chance of rain.
Did Locals in Phuket City, the during the rainy season, it only pours and there is little sunshine on these days. Travellers turn told, that it is not so much and it can rain heavily for a short time though, but settles again quickly. When looking at the rain frequencies it comes especially to the regions. While it only pours on an island, it may be a few islands further clear sunshine.
The dry season goes from December to April. During this period is high season here and all the prices are at least twice as expensive. However, we had gotten some heavy rain in February.
Economy
The main source of revenue Phuket unfortunately destroyed at the same time its unique luster. Tourism damage to the corals and beaches can be seen everywhere. But globalization is its impact. Although Phuket is known for the variety of fish, but virtually all catches are exported abroad. Eating fish is Phuket therefore hardly recommend, and many restaurants have fish now deleted from your card. One can of course still order fish, but the price increases by globalization nothing more with it and is thus a relatively expensive meal.
