Nowadays, Phuket is Thailand's largest tin producer, but is better known the world over for its beautiful beaches, crystal waters that contain colourful marine life, fascinating local culture and friendly people.
The flight from Bangkok to Phuket is only one hour, and direct flights also operate from Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Taipei, Australia and the US via Japan. The Resort is only 50 minutes from Phuket International Airport and 30 minutes from Phuket Town. Newly arrived guests will enjoy the drive to the Resort which will provide them glimpses of local residents still carrying out such occupations as rubber tree cultivation, coconut cultivation, fruit and rice farming and fishing, not to mention a view of some of the island's most famous beaches and nearby islands set against the green waters of the Andaman Sea.
