Phuket town is a small urban treasure full of surprises, many of which are not readily visible to the visitor simply passing through. To really appreciate many of the attractions here one has to spend time, hunt and often walk.
Largely found by Chinese who immigrated to the island to work in the tin mining business, Phuket town has some exquisitely preserved examples of Chinese influenced architecture. Sino-Portuguese Mansions, |
| built in Portuguese style with Chinese influence, Traditional Chinese row houses, and Chinese shrines are among them. |
 |
Furthermore, your day out could be filled with shopping, going to the movies or even dining. To many, Phuket town offers the best shopping opportunities and the prices here are lower than those at the tourist beaches. Scattered about the town we can find shops specializing in souvenirs and handicrafts, fashion wear and tailoring, silks and many other Thai-made products. For movies, there are multi-cinema complex with choices of international films presented in their original languages. |
| For restaurants, you can find a good variety of cuisine available. There are fewer tourist clients here, and more Thais and local expatriate residents, meaning that the Thai food will not usually be modified for foreign tastes as it sometimes is in the beach areas. |
