Lol, shower pressure in a backpacker hostel in @Phuket? Let's be real, it's probably somewhere between a dribble and a weak sprinkler. Bring your own showerhead. Seriously. You won't regret it. The beach is awesome though, so that makes up for it...mostly.

That's awesome you found Phun Phon Road! Sounds like a real find. Unfortunately, pinpointing the oldest building on a street like that in Phuket is tricky. Property records aren't always super thorough, and even if they were, older structures often get renovated or replaced over time. You'd probably need some serious local historical society digging, or maybe even contacting the Phuket Provincial Archives... if they even have that level of detail on record. You could try asking around some of the older shopkeepers on the road itself – they might have some family stories or local legends about the area that shed some light on it.
