    Phuket Old Town is absolutely stunning. The colorful old buildings are so beautiful. It was a must see for me and we went there quite a few times during our stay. There is something for everyone to do, see, eat, drink etc. I likened it to the French Quarter of New Orleans, although a much more tame version 😉

    Nice old town vibe in these streets. Must visit place in phuket. The buildings, the streets and the venues are all welcoming and provide a European style experience. went there on a Weekend afternoon so streets were walking only with many carts and vendors in the middle which was fun too.

    Photogenic places. But because there may be locals and tourists, I recommend you to walk around early in the morning.

    Old Phuket is the architectural dream land with its colourful building, superb architecture, and tucked away, and in plain sight are some hidden gems, keep a sharp eye, and you will spot them Dotted around, you will find some extremely nice gift shops, excellent food outlets, and a decent massage, and please check out Roti Taew Nam restaurant. It's out of this world

    Nice "old town" vibe in these streets. The buildings, the streets and the venues are all welcoming and provide a European style experience. went there on a Sunday afternoon so streets were walking only with many carts and vendors in the middle which was fun too.

    Very pretty and well organized. The streets are narrow and gets very crowded so would recommend getting their early during the day

    Finding a parking space might be difficult, if you drive a motorcycle it's not difficult to find a parking space. The restaurant or coffee shop of authentic Thai people is very good, there are a lot of places to take photos, not suitable to go when it's sunny, very hot and very, and most of all,

    Good to see in the afternoon, if you come in mid day. It’s really busy

  • 5/5 Mustafa Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice street with old style "Art decko" buildings. Also the other streets nearby are worth to visit. Parking is an issue. Busses are officially available but complicated to find the right bus stops. Most of them are shown at Google maps but not marked on site with a sign. Ask a local für the next bus stio6ir use6a taxi to visit or go back.

    Getting taxis or cabs get a lil difficult around this place because of the traffic around the area. Streets get busy in peak hours and a nice experience.

  • 4/5 Eidin S. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely area in Old Town Phuket. Great shops and restaurants!

  • 5/5 Monrudee L. 11 months ago on Google
    Scenic, historic and colorful buildings. Love how the city is full of shops and restaurants.

  • 5/5 Yasser S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful, lots of shops and places to eat, I imagine it would be nice at night time

  • 5/5 Benjamin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Old town doesn’t undermine the color and quite diverse style of architectures. You can sit in the museum for a while and watch motorcycles coming and going, which reminds old times.

  • 5/5 Adie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Is good to see that history is maintained in Phuket's old town district, with its Sino/Portuguese architecture. The area is so easily accessed and it's all so close together.

  • 5/5 Pim 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful walk. Take a picture and. Stop by to eat some delicious good and relax with a cup of coffee.

  • 5/5 Usanee A. 1 year ago on Google
    You can visit during daytime everyday and there is a night market on Sunday.

  • 5/5 Farizqun K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lively Phuket Old Town is known for brightly painted, century-old Sino-Portuguese townhouses, with a well-preserved row along Soi Rommanee. Main street Thalang Road has stores selling artisanal ice cream and batik fabrics and a Sunday market for souvenirs and street food like fried banana. No one knows exactly when the first building in this style was constructed, but photographs from the reign of King Rama V (1853–1910) show that it was already well established by then. Two styles of building in particular stand out: the shop-house (Sino-Portuguese style) and the big mansion (Sino-Colonial style).

    It’s better walking than driving because it’s hard to find parking lot.

  • 4/5 Aey A. 2 years ago on Google
    Spare at least 30 minutes for a quick sight seeing. 2 hr. Is a convenient time to explore the area . There are some coffee shop and good local restaurants to visit as well.

  • 5/5 Nihal A. 1 year ago on Google
    Phuket Old Town is full of one and two storey buildings which take architectural inspiration from both China and Portugal. While it was formerly referred to as Sino-Portuguese architecture, the additional British influence means that they are now called Sino-European architecture. We can find these buildings mainly on Dibuk Road, Thalang Road, Krabi Road and Phang Nga Road. A lot of administration offices are in these buildings and some of them are little cafes, among others. The vivid colors of some of these buildings are eye catching and make them stand out from the rest. These roads are best explored on foot, so that you can see the arches, doors, windows and other details very clearly. Best to do it on a Sunday morning/afternoon, so that you can spend the evening on Thalang Road where the Sunday Night Walking Market takes place.

    Surround all the Hokkien Chinese and Portuguese townhouses full of history Since the 16th century. Very clean and easy to walk around . Food , shops & accommodation are available in the short walking distance.

  • 5/5 Taimoor K. 3 years ago on Google
    Old town Phuket is a must go especially in the evening and at night. Enjoy beeches and national parts in the day and come here in the evening to enjoy the lights and food and hustle bustle in the lid city.
