Have You Explored The Old Town In Phuket?

Tripoto

Phuket is Thailand's largest islands and most popular one also. Surrounded by many smaller islands, Phuket not only offers some of the most beautiful beaches but also a vibrant and happening nightlife. But I found this hidden gem while I was in Phuket - and it's the Old Town!

Old Phuket Town is a small area, and you can walk around to cover it very quickly. However, I’ll recommend you to take things little slowly, and explore the gorgeous cafes and postcard-perfect streets around you.

It’s worth visiting for anyone looking to sit back and relax to enjoy a healthy lunch or some quick munchies. The Old Town offers picturesque sceneries, delicious cuisine, and brightly painted, century-old Sino-Portuguese townhouses.

As I walked down the lanes, I was reminded of my beloved city, Calcutta (India) which also has such old-world vibes - but of course, every place has something unique to it.
