After several visits to Phuket, primarily Patong Beach, I finally got to explore Old Town Phuket. And would again. It has a very different flair to hectic Patong - and we enjoyed the colours and flavours of this area. Including the 3D museum which was an hour or 2 of different fun.

Excellent and well worth the visit especially on a market day. The place was heaving with stalls and tourists. Very lively and vibrant atmosphere. But be careful of pickpockets. The buildings are quaint and colourfully decorated. Some excellent restaurants and bars

As the town name implies, many old historical buildings around. Good to walk around to kill time with many shops selling souvenirs, clothes, food etc. Tourist place and hence most items are expensive though. Traffic are a little heavy with motorcycles wheezing past so be careful. Once a visit is good enough for me though.

There are 2 main night markets in Phuket and the Old Town market was recommended by our hotel. We arrived at 5pm and it was already in full swing. It is bustling but has a great vibe and the smells of the food is divine. We wandered in and out of shops and stalls and surprisingly we were not hassled by the vendors. The music was also great with lots of street performers including some very talented children & even a childrens choir. Getting home was also easy as there is an abundance of taxis but suggest you agree on the price before getting in the vehicle.

Hustling n bustling with tourists all over the place! Although they say it’s a night market but it’s forever crowded whether day or night! Nice to see are the old buildings although stores are new. Good to get a souvenir or two, try the local food and definitely enjoy a good massage at affordable prices.

Phuket was wonderful. Wish we’d spent more time in Phuket old town. Toured Phi’s snorkeling and understand speed boats are quick but pounding. Rented a car, no problem, hit the big buddy fantastic.

We came here for the day as we were staying in the north of the island. Lovely architecture and beautiful locations. The only thing we didn’t enjoy is the amount of people posing for the gram and taking videos/photos all the time. This causes people jams and overcrowding in certain areas. It’s very busy and some beautiful vendors/food stalls. It’s just ruined by those only posing for pictures. Other than that it is certainly worth a visit to look around.

Really enjoyed walking round experiencing Thai culture. Lots of souvenirs that are reasonably priced. You’ll always find coffee and ice cream shops round here.

Phuket City is located in the south of Phuket. There is a big night market in the main road Thalang road of the old town on Sunday evenings(16-22hrs). This is the best day to combine the very nice oldtown with the pittoresk old colored buildings and the existing marked in the evening. Due to the traffic you have to go early from your origin stay. The streetfood on the night marked is outstanding. Take 2hrs for the oldtown and enjoy the rest of your stay on the marked.

This is a cute town to walk around for 1-2 hours. Plenty of cafes and food spots, and lots of boutique clothing stores that sell pretty similar clothing. Not much else to do. After walking around the streets here, I walked ~15 minutes to a nearby food court (Cham Cha Local Market) which is a very local food court (no other tourists when I went) with amazing spring rolls and pork bone soup.
