Phuket, 867 km from Bangkok, is Thailand's largest island and with a population of 1.6 million, Phuket ranks as the sixth largest province in Thailand. Known as the Pearl of the Andaman, the surrounding waters contain much varied marine life and the island itself is blessed with lovely seashores and forested hillsides. The dream of escaping to an idyllic tropical island becomes a reality on Phuket.

Shaped like an irregular pearl and measuring approximately 21 km wide by 48 km long, the island is sparsely populated outside Phuket Town. The landscape is one of lush green hills, coconut groves, rubber plantations and a coastline dotted with a dozen spectacular beaches.

The Mermaid Resort is located in Patong, the most popular beach in Phuket. Patong is a small town that has all from department stores to small out door food stalls and markets. You have a long beach that is only 5 minutes walking distance from the resort. All along the beach you can find restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
