Phuket, Thailand

Description

Thailand’s largest island is an international magnet for beach lovers, with blue lagoons and salmon sunsets that make Phuket a stunningly dream-like destination. Seventy percent of the province’s area is covered by beautiful, lush mountains, but the main attraction is the seemingly never-ending sandy beaches – most notably the Patong Beach on the central west coast, which runs wide and long along the Andaman Sea. Phuket is also known for its easy access to nightlife and shopping in the developed city of Patong. A tropical climate with year-round warm temperatures, Phuket is quickly becoming a worldwide tourist attraction and was also voted by Fortune Magazine as one of the world’s top 5 retirement destinations, making it the perfect investment for the discerning buyer.
