Pronunciation of Phuket

Out of curiosity how do you pronounce Phuket. I thouhgt it is just poo-ket but according to Wikitravel its%26#39;s Poo-Get. Any thoughts?

Pronunciation of Phuket

Hi Bec, in Thailand they tend to pronounce letters differently to us. For example, ';P'; tends to be pronounced like ';PB';, ';K'; tends to be ';KG';. They seem to blend the two letters. I have heard Thai people call Phuket ';BU-GET';, with the U part pronounced very short.

Generally though, it%26#39;s pronounced Poo-ket.

Well....that%26#39;s a relief.

I thought someone was going to ask if the %26#39;Ph%26#39; should be pronounced %26#39;F%26#39;, as in ';Phantom';.

Personally, I think it should be. My address would be a lot more fun.

Haha, that%26#39;s exactly what I was expecting.
