In Phuket, in general, people rush to the beaches, but the city also deserves a close look. The area of ??Phuket old town sometimes called the historic district includes mainly in Sino-Portuguese style old houses. A unique and colorful architecture inherited from Phuket history when the city attracted many communities interested by rubber and tin.

Phuket Old Town can easily be visited by wlaking. The most interesting streets are Thaland Road, Krabi Road, Dibuk Road, Phang Nga Road, Yaowarad Road, Ranong Road and Ratsada Road, and ofcourse Soi Romanee (in Thalang Road). In general, people start the visit by the Chartered Bank at the intersection of Road Phuket and Phang Nga Road and walk in Phang Nga Road to discover the On On Hotel (where Leonardo DiCaprio stays at the beginning movie "The beach "), before taking Yaowarad Raod (turn right) to Thalang Road and there you are free to choose where to go but I suggest you do a loop and go to Dibuk Road (3rd from left), then take Satun Road (turn left), then Krabi Road (turn left) where you can visit Thai Hua Museum, then go straight into Thaland Road remembering to go look Soi Romanee.

Practical information about Old Town

Note, if the experience tempts you, that there are some guesthouses in old houses in the neighborhood. The coolest is probably Old Town Hostel that offers double rooms and dormitories. Less traditional, a 1-minute walk from the old town, the Quip Hostel with a roof bar and comfortable beds is a good option (you can hear the traffic, earplugs can be useful if you're a light sleeper).

How to get to Old Town ?

Depuis Patong Beach, le plus simple pour aller à Phuket Old Town, c'est de prendre la ligne de Smart Bus qui relie la plage de Patong à Phuket Town et de descendre au terminus ''Bus Terminal 1''. De là, vous atteignez le quartier de la vieille ville en une bonne dizaine de minutes à pied.

Depuis les autres plages de Phuket, voyez pour prendre les bus locaux bleus qui vous ramènent en ville pour autour de 45 THB (voir ma vidéo sur les transports à Phuket) et descendez au marché local sur Ranong Road. Une fois au marché, vous allez sur votre droite vers le rond point avec la fontaine puis continuez tout droit sur Ratsada Road puis la 2ème à gauche (Soi Pradit) et vous serez dans Phang Nga Road pas loin du On On Hotel.

Sinon, à phuket, vous avez l'application Grab qui permet de commander facilement une voiture avec chauffeur pour aller un peu partout.
