Suiken Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi guys rain into this site and was just wondering if it's pretty accurate, anything outdated? mistakes? http://wikitravel.org/en/Phuket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlehead Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Someone put a LOT of time into that web page. It has the most substantial amount of info I've seen on the island of Phuket. If you're looking for something to be pointed out that is missing? Perhaps the meaning of the word Phuket. I believe it comes from a Malay word meaning mountain (Bukit or something like that) Good job, (whoever made it. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyleonhard Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Good job, (whoever made it. ) I'll second that. The attributions at the bottom of the page: "This page was last edited at 14:37, on 5 January 2011 by Wikitravel user Cardboardbird.

Ping Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A pity about the photo of Patong beach, though (the southern end, looking like a distant relative of Rawai Beach) - rather misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There doesn't seem to be any mention of the topography of the island. Hills/mountains and the various jungle activities (treking, elephants, etc) arn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 ^And there are quite a few factual errors as well (and what's with some of those paragraph headings?), but it could be the basis for a good article with a little research and more meat on the bones.
