Old Town

Phuket's old town is a historically significant provincial capital with stunning shrines, stately temples, and exquisite shops that have been kept in their original style. Old Town is undeniably one of Phuket's most beautiful areas, with stylish cafés, private and public museums, tiny tiny printing shops, and even an ex-red-light district.

There are several magnificent houses with Chinese colonial architectural features, and there are several restaurants to select from. The amulet market is a great location to pick up gifts for family and friends. Make a point of visiting the Jui Tui Shrine, a famed Chinese temple known as the city's oldest and most important spiritual center.
