Phuket is known for its dreamy

Phuket is known for its dreamy beaches, snorkeling, and resorts, but if you've ever visited Phuket Town, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its vibrant streets, hipster vibe, and diverse shops! This time, I chose to stay in Phuket Town to experience the island's vibrant life: not only are there colorful Baroque and Portuguese-style buildings, but there are also unique cafes and street vendors. Strolling, stopping, snapping photos, and eating is a completely different kind of laid-back beach experience.

Phuket Town Travel Guide: Recommended Attractions
1. Thalang Road
Phuket Town's iconic photo-op street, where each house is painted a different color, hosts a night market on Saturday and Sunday evenings (Phuket Walking Street), featuring local snacks and handmade goods.

The entire old town is filled with colorful houses and street graffiti murals. Strolling through the alleys, you'll occasionally encounter street artists performing and painting graffiti, making it a great place to explore and collect "urban Easter eggs."

Tips + Further Reflections
Compared to the bustling beaches, Phuket Town has a much slower pace. You can spend an entire afternoon just sitting in any small shop. The cool mornings are perfect for taking photos. In the evenings and during the night market, the twinkling lights create a truly atmospheric atmosphere. Most shops here accept cash, so it's recommended to have Thai baht ready. Some popular restaurants have queues, so arrive early to secure a table!

Transportation & Nearby Useful Information
- Phuket Airport: Take the airport shuttle bus directly to Phuket Town, which takes about an hour and ends at Phuket Bus Terminal 1.
- Getting around town: Most areas are easily accessible on foot, or by Tuk Tuk or motorcycle taxi, making short trips very convenient.
- Food Recommendations: The night market recommends grilled bananas and Thai milk tea, and the handmade coconut ice cream at Soi Romanee is a must-try! (Approximately 80 THB per scoop, refreshing and smooth.)
