Coordinates of Phuket
Phuket's location on Earth is defined by two numbers: a latitude of 7.878000° North and a longitude of 98.398000° East.

Pasting these two numbers into any maps search box will take you straight to Phuket, Thailand.
The same point can also be written in degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS) format, the older convention still used on nautical charts and paper maps: 7° 52' 41" N, 98° 23' 53" E. Decimal degrees are easier to type and calculate with, while DMS mirrors how coordinates are read aloud or plotted by hand — both describe the exact same point on the globe, just in different units.
Knowing the precise coordinates of Phuket is useful well beyond navigation — it is what powers distance to the nearest airport, time zone lookups and sea temperature data for Phuket, since every one of those calculations starts from the same latitude and longitude values shown above.
