วงเวียนสุรินทร์

Surin Circle stands in Phuket City Municipality, with a clock tower marking the centre of this busy urban junction. Several important roads meet here, carrying cars, motorbikes, local buses, and people across Phuket Town. The surrounding streets lead towards the old town, markets, schools, shrines, and the old bus terminal. Shops, hotels, and restaurants keep the area active beyond its steady traffic flow. The clock tower offers a clear reference point for anyone moving through the city.

Bright pink pohthong buses pass through the circle on their main routes, including Route One towards Robinson’s, McDonald’s, and Sapan Hin. Open sides and wooden benches give these local buses a distinctive appearance. The service has operated since 2009 under the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organization. Passengers board at the rear, while conductors collect fares after people sit down. When the bus fills, payment may travel from hand to hand along the benches. At the centre, the simple tower remains the detail that fixes this crossroads in memory.
