Phuket E Magazine and The Pearl Of Andaman What comes into the mind of travel lovers when we talk about sea, sun and sand. Phuket must definitely be one of the answers. Especially when you think about the island in which there are plenty of accommodations and all kinds of entertainment.
In the early of Christian Age, the cape of Phuket was locally referred to as Jung Ceylon, while natives called the place Cha Lang, which evolved to Thalang the name of the island. As a perfect stopover sheltering trades from monsoons, Jung Ceylon welcomed merchants from India, Persia, Arabia, Burma, China and also Siam. During the 16 century, the island was also a popular trading port for tin.
Chinese businessmen and miners later migrated to Phuket and soon enjoyed thriving business wealth. The islands long history has shaped the distinctive Phuket of the present with its diverse ethnic groups, culture, architectural influence, and find cuisine. Phuket has a lot more to offer its visitors than its natural heritage sea, sand, sky, beach, forest, and world renowned diving sites. Sino-Portugese architecture casts its spell delighting travelers to the city, while Phuket-style hospitality has never failed to impress visitors from all walks of life. |
