Phuket City Travel Guide | Although Phuket Town offers a bustling atmosphere in its own right, it is less hectic than some of the bigger beach towns along the west coast. It has a culturally rich feel to it, which is evident along the streets of its Old Town. Here you’ll spot striking Sino-Portuguese buildings in all sorts of bright colours. With quaint cafés, boutique shopping opportunities, lively night-time entertainment and multiple markets, Phuket Town will engage your mind and satisfy your senses.
