Phuket

Phuket reigns as Thailand's largest island with 30 pristine beaches and over 50 luxury resorts, hosting 13 million tourists per year. Patong's nightlife alone generates 40% of the island's tourism revenue, a scale 30% larger than Krabi's evening scene. Its annual rainfall of 2,200 millimeters is drier than the typical rival island in the Andaman Sea.
