Phuket Old Town’s famous Thalang Road is alive colorful Sino-Portuguese shophouses and unique street art
Up close and personal with the old town’s shophouses Centered around Dibuk, Thalang and Krabi roads, Phuket Old Town is a must-do when visiting Phuket. Take a walking tour around the old town, famous for its SinoPortuguese buildings and cultural heritage. This central area of Phuket provides an interesting glimpse into local life set against the backdrop of colourful, beautifully preserved shophouses. Many of the shophouses have been passed down through generations of local families, and even today, families both live and conduct business in the shophouses of Phuket Old Town.
Built in rows, the island’s shophouses are all similar in make and design. Each shophouse is approximately five meters wide, but can be up to fifty meters long.
The Sino-Portuguese buildings of Phuket provide a certain charm to Old Town and are lovely backdrops for photographs
