Phuket Old Town
ย่านเมืองเก่าภูเก็ต
Walk Thalang Road and Soi Rommanee for colorful shophouses. Take breaks in the shade during the hottest part of the day.
Getting there
Start on Thalang Road and walk into Soi Rommanee on a short loop. If arriving from a beach area, arrange transport to Phuket Town rather than to a beach stop.
Admission
The public streets are free. Museums, private shophouses and events have separate rules. Check market dates before planning your visit around one.
What to see
Walk Thalang Road and Soi Rommanee for shophouse façades, then look for another parallel street for cafés and snacks.
Plan your visit
The old town is separate from the beach areas. Leave time for onward transport and take shade breaks during the hotter part of the day.
Allow two to three hours for a walk and a food stop. Go earlier for cooler streets, or plan extra time if a market makes pickup locations busier.
