Phuket Town, also known as Old Phuket Town, is the island’s main hipster and backpacker haven, as well as a great opportunity to explore its history and enjoy a leisurely walk.
This district is home to Phuket’s rare architectural and historical landmarks. It is a truly unique part of the island with a European-style atmosphere, featuring vibrant street art, charming cafes, museums, and art galleries.
Be sure to stop by MONDO cafe for a cup of coffee and snap some beautiful shots from the third-floor balcony. Harry Potter fans will love the famous butterbeer at Mad Hog cafe. Don’t miss the lively Soi Rommani street, where street performers often put on shows.Take a stroll to the famous clock tower — the building houses the Phuket Museum, and entry is free. Right next to the tower, you can try a unique 3D ice cream shaped like the museum itself. Also, check out the historic mansion of a tin baron, which now hosts the TIN BARON restaurant and the famous Blue Elephant, a colonial-style estate offering an exquisite dining experience.
