I remember watching Nightly News with Tom Brokaw one night way back when. He was on location, and I remeber that after the report and commentary, he turned it back to the studio with the usual sign-off, "This is Tom Brokaw, Phuket." I can only imagine how badly he wanted to travel there just for that sentence.
It wasn't until years later that I heard another pronunciation for it.
