We love love love Old Town! So cute and full of life. The shop owners and very kind and not too pushy. Lots of super cool coffee shops and quaint places to snack while you wander. Must visit. And the Sunday night markets were amazing.. we bought so many pieces of art from the local painters and craftsmen. Beautiful memories!

I had an amazing time exploring Old Phuket Town! The charming blend of Sino-Portuguese architecture, colorful streets, and rich cultural atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience. From unique local shops and lively markets to cozy cafes and delicious street food, every corner had something special to offer. The people were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall warmth of the visit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the authentic side of Phuket beyond the beaches
Very very charming. I wish I could spend more time there. 2 days would be enough. 3 days would be perfect for me. There are many restaurants, cafes, bars and so much of shopping could be done for the absolutely useless but pretty memorabilia and gifts.
