About
70 percent of Phuket is mountainous; a western
range runs from north to south from which smaller
branches derive.
The highest peak is Mai Thao Sip Song,
or Twelve Canes, at 529 meters, which lies within
the boundaries of Tambon Patong, Kathu District.
The remaining 30 percent of the island,
mainly in the center and south, is formed by low
plains. Streams include the Khlong Bang Yai, Tha
Jin, Khlong Tha Rua, and Khlong Bang Rong, none
of which is large. |
