Thailand is a place of pilgrimage for Russians,wishing to relax under the hot scorching sun and plunge into the gentle turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. Especially popular is the tropical island of Phuket. It is ideal for families with children looking for a relaxing holiday, and for surfers chasing a high wave.
The largest island of Thailand welcomestourists from all over the world. The total area of the island is about five hundred and forty-three square kilometers. Snow-white beaches encircle Phuket along the entire perimeter, and the highest point is the Peak of the Twelve Trophies, which can be seen from anywhere on the island.
You can rest on Phuket all year round.Despite the fact that on the island, as in all of Thailand, there are only two seasons - dry and rainy season, the tourist flow never stops. In the hottest period - from March to October - the high wave season begins, and the beaches are filled with surfing companies. In the high season - from November to February - Phuket seek fans to bask in the sun.
Phuket is located at a distance of nine and a halfthousands of kilometers from Moscow, the flight lasts about nine hours. Neither an impressive distance nor a long flight reduces the interest of tourists to the island. According to the data of major Moscow travel agencies, the most popular tourist route from November to March is Moscow-Phuket. The difference in time between these two points is insignificant and does not bother tourists. Many do not even notice the change in the time zone after the flight. Usually this moment is worried about Mom with little children who always feel the transition to a new time zone.
Phuket will give everyone just unforgettableimpression. Sea excursions will open the beauties of the Andaman Sea, historical monuments enfold the tourist with the magic of ancient culture, and numerous shopping centers will increase the weight of your luggage by several kilograms.
All over Thailand there is a single time.Wherever you are - in Pattaya, on Samui, or just arrived in Bangkok by the Moscow-Phuket transit flight, - the time difference with the capital of our homeland will be four hours. Thailand, like many Asian countries, is in the time zone UTC + 7 hours. This reduces the period of adaptation after the flight and makes the rest on the island comfortable.
If you have never been to Thailand and onlyare going to buy a ticket for flight Moscow-Phuket, the difference in time should not embarrass you. Believe me, the beauty of this delightful island will very quickly eclipse all the minor difficulties associated with the flight.
