Old Phuket Town
Old Phuket Town occupies part of Phuket City Municipality, where narrow streets bring Thai, Chinese, and European influences together. Sino-Portuguese shophouses line Thalang Road with colourful façades, archways, and shaded walkways. Small shops, Thai restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and guesthouses fill the ground floors.
Thalang Road leads towards Soi Romanee, whose colourful buildings and cafés stand beside Wat Mongkol Nimit. The temple has a golden stupa and heritage houses used by monks. Phang Nga Road brings you to the Shrine of the Serene Light, the On On Hotel, and an amulet market. Museums include Peranakanittat Museum in the clocktower building, Thai Hua Museum, and the Thavorn Museum. Krabi Road also holds Blue Elephant Mansion, once a governor’s residence, beside Chinpracha Mansion. Markets, food courts, and local bakeries add everyday life through Lock Tien, Phuket City Market, and shops on Dibuk Road.
Street art and murals appear across old buildings, made more visible after electric cables moved underground. Chinese shrines and temples reflect the district’s multicultural history, while local dishes, pastries, coffee, and noodles keep the streets active. One memorable contrast appears on Phang Nga Road: the old Standard Chartered Bank now serves as a museum.
