About Phuket Old Town
A historic grid of Sino-Portuguese shophouses suited for food lovers and architecture photographers.
The flat streets are lined with restored heritage buildings housing local galleries and noodle shops. You can easily navigate the center on foot, though reaching the west coast beaches requires a taxi or local bus. Choose this area for historic architecture and street food, but skip it if you want to wake up by the sea.
- Getting there
- Walkable; local buses to the beaches leave from Ranong Road.
- Watch out for
- Inland location with no beach access and heavy traffic.
