On the southern province of Thailand lies this exotic land of Phuket. Termed as the "Pearl of Andaman" Phuket though doesn't cover a huge area- bears an indirectly proportional importance in the history of the subjects of History as well as Geography. Deriving its name from the Malay word "bukit" which relates to mountains and the hills of the island- Phuket has long been on in the golden era of the world tourism industry.
The attack of the Burmese forces in the year 1785 is considered to be on of the most important events in the history of the island. Though in the past and then on in the later years- Phuket has been visited by many cultures- looted and plundered: the Burmese attack was one of the most fierce battles fought in the history of the island. A British naval captain, Sir Francis Light; after observing the activities of the Burmese force had sent word to the island natives about the events. The then deceased wife of the governor of the island- Khunying Jan and her sister Mook prepared had then prepared forces and fought a tiring battle with the Burmese for a month, forcing the Burmese to retreat.
This incident is so well known amongst the localities and the natives of the island that the ladies are still treated to be local heroines with their statues in the center of the island. With a major turn of political events, Monthon Phuket became a province- Phuket by itself in the year 1933.
