Phuket Range
The Phuket Range ((タイ語:ทิวเขาภูเก็ต), ''Thio Khao Phuket'', ) is a subrange of the Tenasserim Hills in the Kra Isthmus, Thailand.
==Geography==
The Phuket chain is a continuation of the greater Tenasserim range, forming one of the southern sections of the central Indo-Malay cordillera, the mountain chain which runs from Tibet through all of the Malay peninsula extending southwards for over 200 km.〔Avijit Gupta, ''The Physical Geography of Southeast Asia,'' Oxford University Press, 2005. ISBN 978-0-19-924802-5〕 The Nakhon Si Thammarat Range begins 60 km to the east of the southern part of the Phuket Range. Between the ranges there are isolated peaks rising from the lowlands, the highest of which is 1,350 m high Khao Phanom Bencha near Krabi.〔(Peninsular Thailand )〕
The highest elevation is Khao Langkha Tuek with an elevation of 1395 m. As the hills raise directly from the western coast there are no notable rivers west of the ridge. To the east the largest rivers are the Phum Duang River and the Lang Suan River.
The largest lake within the mountains is the Chiao Lan (Ratchaprapha dam) with 165 km², an artificial lake within the Khao Sok National Park. The mountains mostly consist of limestone, which leads to the notable karst geography of steep hills. The hills west of the ridge contain several tin mines, which are however mostly exhausted already.
