Talk:Phuket province

message: Small point, but the "statistics" block covers the Thai vowel 'u', which is under the first consonant. It should be moved down a bit. Tombloom99 05:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I am a native speaker and the one from Phuket, found a lot of mistakes made by somebody....
There are many meaning link to Malay, which have nothing to do with Phuket, which its population
about 95% are Chinese(not only a working class), not Malay, and Malay who live in Phuket came from
the southern part of Thailand, not originally here before!!!
Should somebody like to change some information about Phuket, which is related to Malay.
These should be considered as a very sensitive topic, please use a reference-quoted!
:I cannot see the article say anything like the population is predominately Malay, it only says that some of the old names of the island have Malay origin. Maybe you'd better be more specific what sentence is misleading in your opinion. andy 11:24, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  know better 

message: I thought, Phuket is the name of
* an Island (Koh Phuket) and
* a province (like in the article) and
* a city (Phuket city)?
So actually - what we need is another article: Phuket city. An article about Koh Phuket would be nice but not urgent (the province and the island share their ground); then we would need a disamb, too. -- Scriberius 19:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: To add to the confusion - there's both a city (Thai: thesaban) as well as a district (Amphoe Mueang). And Karon - while it is part of the district Phuket - is a separate town. andy 12:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Confusion

message: I found this page after searching for Junkceylon and was redirected. How does Junkceylon relate to Phuket? Is it a historical name? A place? I do know it's the name of a shopping mall in Patong that is has been under construction off and on for the past couple of years or so. This is not criticism, mind you. Just a search for information and enlightenment. - Wisekwai 13:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In past versions of this article the history section ended with "Past names of the island include Ko Thalang and Junkceylon". However for unknown reasons the second name was removed, so now it only mentions "Ko Thalang". It'd make sense to research some history before the Burmese invasion of 1785, where that historical name would fit best. andy 12:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

There are a miliion results f/  paradise  &  Sri Lanka, as many people make that association.
From an  American English  perspective,  Junkceylon  resembles "junk   Ceylon" {Aw,  Phuket}.

Language, each word, all vocabulary, seems to alter in context.

message: Highest point in Phuket is wrong.   I thought so and went out yesterday with a new altimeter, setting it at sea level in the morning and hiking up to the mountain (just west of Kathu waterfall) and found it to be 545 meters.  There is no road, and except for an old rubber tree farm on one side, nothing there.   Then i hiked back down to my bike and went immedietly to Mae Sip Song which is the mountain that most believe to be the high point.   It is at least 20-30 meters lower than the mountain that has no name near Kathu waterfall.      I wrote about it in detail on my blog:  fiddlehead.wordpress.com

message: At present, the introduction to the article says that 2 bridges connect the island to the mainland. I checked on Google maps and can find only one bridge. Can anyone verify this?  Grandma Roses (talk) 22:53, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. You will probably never see this reply, but the answer to your question is that the two bridges are right next to each other. One is for traffic and the other for pedestrians, and they have different names because they are separate spans even though there's barely any distance between them. หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 10:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Food in Chinese? 

message: This is a pretty big omission and should be corrected. At least a mention in the geography section would be the minimum required. Why bother to mention the bridges but not define the body of water they span?  I would edit it, but I don't feel entitled to do so. So I hope somebody who does feel sufficiently entitled will make this correction. หมีขั้วโลก (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Hey @Kudpung, I have been working on the Wikipedia article of the Phuket province, in which I have observed many inconsistencies and promotional tones throughout the entry. I would love to hear what's your opinion of the current version. It's not far from being better sourced as I typically work on prose and structural refinement, but I hope that it is now more align with the Neutral Point of View policy. Thanks!
