Phuket Province

The Andaman Sea defines much of Phuket Province — its island coast supports fishing, marine transport and an economy closely tied to beach tourism. Phuket Island, Thailand’s largest island, is linked to the mainland by bridges, yet its western shores and surrounding smaller islands retain a distinctly maritime identity. Inland, low hills, rubber plantations and busy towns contrast with the coast. Old Phuket Town preserves rows of Sino-Portuguese shophouses, reflecting the wealth brought by the island’s former tin-mining industry and its long connections with Chinese trading communities. Buddhist temples, markets and southern Thai cooking add further local texture. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Phuket Province.
