Wander Phuket Old Town

Away from the beaches, Phuket Old Town is a delightful surprise: streets of colourful Sino-Portuguese shophouses, quirky cafés, street art, and excellent local food, reflecting the island's history as a trading port. It's free to wander, photogenic at every turn, and the Sunday Walking Street market is a highlight, full of cheap eats and crafts. It's also where the most affordable, authentic food on the island lives. We'll point you to the best streets, the local dishes to try, and the market timings.
