Phuket is aptly named....

You do know it's pronounced "Foo ket" and not "Fuck it"...

I thought it was pronounced "Poo-ket?"

From Wiki:

The ph of "Phuket" is an aspirated "p", so the name is pronounced (roughly) "Poock-get".

Phuket(Foo-ket) is the famed "Leonardo's Island". Resort island named after a movie filmed there starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Very expensive by Thai standards.
