Phuket International Airport (HKT) Information: About Phuket Tourism
Thailand's biggest and most significant island, Phuket is one of the country's southerly provinces and bursting with tourist appeal. The very heart of the island is filled with coconut plantations, rice fields and areas of rain forest, although it is the island's spectacular coastline that is the reason why so many visitors fly into Phuket Airport (HKT) each year.
Filled with lengthy stretches of sand, rocky outcrops and stunning cliff faces, Phuket is edged with many thriving tourist resorts, which tend to be clustered on the western side of the island. Patong Beach is especially popular and a great place for partying as the sun sets, while Nai Yang Beach is perfect for scuba diving and further water sports, being almost adjacent to the airport itself and next to northerly Phuket City, the island's busy capital. Further attractions on the island include sportfishing, yachting, Phuket Zoo, the FantaSea amusement park and the Wat Phra Tong temple, within the Thalang suburb of the city.
