5. I. Introduction
At the heart of South East Asia, Thailand is an independent kingdom
combining 20th-century sophistication with an ancient culture that has evolved
over the past 700 years.
Covering just over 500,000 sq km it is bordered by Malaysia to the south,
Myanmar to the west, Laos to the north and Cambodia to the east. It is unique
amongst Southeast Asian nations in that it has never been occupied by a
foreign colonial power. Largely as a result, it has maintained a cohesive sense
of national identity and traditional culture.

in Southeast Asia, Thailand was heavily influenced by the culture
and religions of India, starting with the Kingdom of Funan around
the 1st century CE to the Khmer Empire.

15. Thailand has hundreds of islands both in the Gulf of
Siam and in the Andaman Sea. All of the islands of
Thailand are coastal islands.
Formerly most of the islands in Thailand were
uninhabited, but in recent times many have been
developed as tourist resorts.
Some of the island groups in Thailand come in
clusters of numerous individual islands.
Phang Nga bay has 67, the Mu Ko Chang National
Park has 52, Tarutao National Marine Park has 51,
and Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park has 42. Owing
to the large amount of islands in Thailand the list
below is not all-inclusive

16. Phuket is a melting pot of indigenous Thais, Thai-Chinese, ethnic
Malays and even sea gypsies.
The majority of the population in the rural areas is Muslim.
Outside of the provincial town, the rural folk speak with a thick
Southern dialect which is difficult for even other Thais to understand.
The provincial town’s economy having boomed over the past decade
has led to a lot of the youngsters leading similar lives to those in
Bangkok.
Altogether, the lifestyle of the urban Sino-Thais in Phuket resembles
that of their counterparts in Bangkok.

19. History Phuket
Phuket nestles in balmy Andaman Sea waters on
Thailand's Indian Ocean coastline 862 kilometers south of
Bangkok.
Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber,
and enjoyed a rich and colorful history.
The island was on one of the major trading routes
between India and China, and was frequently mentioned
in foreign trader’s ship logs.
In recent times, though, Phuket's top earner has been
tourism, which has transformed the island into Thailand's
wealthiest province.
Phuket enjoys great popularity as a travel destination
Most beaches are on the west coast, with Phuket Town to
the southeast and the airport in the north.
