Unique Phuket:
Phuket's Unusual Qualities

Phuket has a unique blend of cultures - partially the Chinese Thai and Malay mix - as well as the immigration onto the island of foreigners - and many Thais from other parts of the country seeking employment.  Phuket has the highest per capita income of any province in the country.

To better find your way around check out the Map Page.

Festivals reflect the blend of cultures as well as some of the more unusual aspects of Phuket's nightlife, some links are provided.

 The photo gallery is a sampling of photos.  Some traditional ones, you might think. These are just a few of this beautiful island and its flora and fauna.

Do you enjoy exotic birdlife? Real birds!  Phuket has a great selection. If you enjoy bird watching, this is the place to be.

And how about a relaxing massage at a bargain price? One of Phuket's special treats is the great selection of massage shops - literally everywhere on the island - and usually at a great price.

Want to talk like a native?  Thai language is challenging but the basics are quite doable!  Then you can tell the therapist in the photo here - Ouch!  

You'll be glad to know that Thai's are quite tolerant of foreigners butchering their language - and are usually pleasantly surprised and happy that you made the effort.
