Staying in Phuket Town
Phuket Town has a lot of charm and has grown in popularity since it was renovated.
With magnificent Sino-Portuguese architecture, the heart of Phuket town is now a must-see attraction for visitors, and a lot of fancy cafes, beautiful restaurants and hotels opened.
It can be busy on the weekend, especially with the Sunday walking street market.
Who is it for?
Those who like old streets and a great photo playground
Those who want to see more Thai people than tourists
What’s Good?
Great for a day of exploration in the old street
A lot of good local food
Several fun night markets
What’s Not?
It’s far from any beaches.
Nightlife is minimal and often very local
HOTEL SITUATION
Many small and cheap hotels opened in recent years, taking advantage of the old Sino-Portuguese architecture. Just remember that Phuket town is far from any beach and therefore not a strategic location if you expect a mix of city and beach.
