Phuket -
Geography...
Some 8' north of the Equator, and well below
the latitudes of destructive tropical storms,
Phuket's balmy tropical climate is tempered by
cool north-easterly breezes from November to
March, and by fresh on-shore winds in summer
months. The island is connected to mainland
Thailand by two bridges.
Time is + 7 hours ahead of GMT, 1 hour behind
Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
