The History of Phuket
Phuket is Thailands largest island, about the size of Singapore. The island is connected to mainland Thailand by a bridge call Sarasin. It is situated off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. The size of the island is approximately 570sq. km. and is made up of 39 small islands.
The French ambassador with king Narai
In the 17th century, the Dutch, the English, and from the 1680s the French, competed with each other for trade with the island (was named Junk Ceylon at that time), which was valued as a very rich source of tin. In September 1680, a ship from the French East India Company visited Phuket and left with a full cargo of tin. In 1681 or 1682, the Siamese king Narai, who was seeking to reduce Dutch and English influence, named Governor of Phuket the French medical missionary Brother Ren Charbonneau, a member of the Siam mission of the Socit des Missions Etrangres. Charbonneau held the position of Governor until 1685.
