Phuket Island, Thailand's largest, lies off the South-Western coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea, an area of the Indian Ocean. Only a decade ago, the island was still a quiet, fairly undiscovered place that is now the most visited destination outside of Bangkok.

The golf here is of truly international standard with courses like the Blue Canyon having hosted major European and Asian tour events like the Johnnie Walker Classic and the Honda Asian Classic, along with first-class resort's such as the Amanpuri and Banyan Tree. However, be prepared to pay those international prices too, a holiday on Phuket is certainly not cheap when compared to the rest of the country,...!

Having said that, the island really does have "something-for-everyone", from deserted beaches at the north of the island, to the bustling day's and nights on Patong Beach and the Sino-Portuguese architecture in the capital, Phuket Town.
