WHY GO?
Long considered Thailand's most popular
beach destination, Phuket is undergoing rapid
development with over 2,800 upscale hotel
rooms in the pipeline up to 2019, as well as
revived plans for an International Convention
and Exhibition Center (ICEC) on Mai Khao
beach. Combined with a maturing nightlife and
shopping scene, this tropical island is the best
place to mix business with pleasure.
Above: Phuket FantaSea is a nighttime
extravaganza that bills itself as a cultural
theme park, but involves much more.
