Phuket Old Town Sino-Portuguese Architecture
I'm heading to Phuket Old Town next month and I'm so hyped to explore the Sino-Portuguese architecture. I've seen photos, but they don't do it justice. My question is: what's the best way to really… more
Get lost. Seriously. Just wander. Phuket Old Town is small enough to not get truly lost, but big enough that you'll stumble on unexpected gems. The best way to experience the architecture isn't a rigid itinerary; it's letting the streets unfold before you. That said, Dibuk Road is a good starting point, and Soi Romanee is charming. Look up, look down, look sideways – the details are everywhere. Don't just photograph the big stuff; notice the little flourishes, the tiny details in the window frames, the faded paintwork. That's where the magic is.
Sabaidee's Secret?
I stayed at Sabaidee Residenc in Phuket last month, loved the chill vibes. Met some awesome people, explored the night markets nearby... but I'm curious – anyone know of any good local spots *outsi… more
Try heading out towards the Rawai area. It's a bit further south than the main tourist drag, and you'll find some smaller, family-run restaurants tucked away there. Don't expect fancy menus or Instagrammable decor; look for places that are busy with locals. That's usually a good sign. Also, check out some of the smaller sois (side streets) near the local markets – you'll often stumble on little gems that the tour buses miss. Good luck with your search! You'll find something amazing, I'm sure.
That's great advice! Rawai sounds perfect, I’m always up for exploring beyond the main tourist spots. Thanks for the tip about the local markets and sois – I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for those busy little places. I'm not really fussed about fancy menus anyway; authentic food and a good atmosphere are my priorities. Fingers crossed I find something truly special!
