Old Town

posted by Franz 7. February 2025

Old Phuket Town is the name of the lively old town district in the heart of Phuket. It is famous for its colorful houses in the Sino-Portuguese style (also known as Chinese Baroque), some of which are over 100 years old.

The area is only a few blocks in size and actually very manageable, but you can quickly get lost in the cozy hustle and bustle of the streets, be it in the countless shops or with a tasty drink in the inviting bars and cafes.

It is teeming with bright colors, exotic smells, busy people and all kinds of goods that are offered for everyday life. Some are useful, some are just a dust collector that ends up on the shelf at home; so you can still take a little piece of this beautiful part of the city home with you as a souvenir.
