Phuket Hotel & Travel Guide
Phuket is known for its tall mountains, wind swept capes and friendly people.
Phuket's beaches offer great swimming, diving and beach combing. Mining was the major industry historically and today are cool tours. Since the 1980s, tourism is the main industry centered in Patong with its exciting nightlife and cheap shopping. The name "Patong" is funny and romantic and means "the forest full of Banana leaves" in Thai. Just think about it when you're sitting on Karon Beach or Kata Noi Beach… or think about anything and it will seem kind of funny in the island paradise.
Patong Beach on Phuket was one of the worst affected areas in the tsunami. Since then, the area has been rebuilt and recovered from the tsunami and today the resorts are back in business.
