Wow, that museum sounds amazing! The Peranakan culture is incredibly complex, it's not something you can just pick up in an afternoon. I'd suggest looking for academic papers or books on Peranakan social history – searching for terms like "Baba-Nyonya kinship systems" or "Peranakan inheritance laws" might yield some good results. University library databases are usually your best bet for in-depth stuff like that. You could also try searching for documentaries on YouTube; sometimes a visual explanation makes it click better. Good luck with your research!

Get off the main streets! Seriously. Wander down the sois (side streets). Phuket Old Town's charm isn't just the main drag; it's in the little alleys and tucked-away temples. Talk to people – shopkeepers, locals hanging out at streetside stalls. Even a simple "Sawasdee" (hello) opens doors. You'll find amazing little eateries, family-run businesses, and local markets that aren't in any guidebook. Try to go during a local festival if you can time it – completely different vibe. And don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's where the real discoveries happen. Plus, you'll probably find even better Pad See Ew.
