Top neighbourhoods in Phuket

The Old Town Phuket Chino Portuguese Style at soi rommanee talang road., Phuket Town, Phuket, Thailand, Landmark

Old Phuket Town

Old Phuket Town's pastel-colored shophouses tell stories of its 19th-century tin mining days through stunning Sino-Portuguese architecture. Visitors stroll down Thalang Road past ornate temples, vibrant street art, and museums showcasing Chinese, Malay, and European influences. The Sunday Walking Street Market buzzes with local crafts and traditional Thai street food, creating the perfect blend of history and culture. Heritage boutique hotels occupy lovingly restored colonial buildings, giving travellers an authentic taste of the area's rich past. The compact historic core is best explored on foot or by tuk-tuk, with most attractions within walking distance. Cafes serve Peranakan cuisine alongside traditional Thai dishes, offering delicious flavours in charming historic settings.

Snap of the Phuket Baba Museum at dawn. Located in Phuket Old Town, it's been fully renovated and is a splendid witness of the sino-colonial architecture of the 19th century in Phuket. The Old Town is a very popular neighbourhood in which you'll find many cool bars and restaurants as well as shops and art galleries. It's a pleasant area to wander around at the end of the day, when the temperature cools down a bit. #LifeAtExpediaGroup

Talat Yai

Talat Yai blends history and culture in a delicious feast for the senses. Colourful Sino-Portuguese shophouses line narrow streets, housing art galleries and cafes behind mint green and coral pink facades.

Local eateries serve authentic Hokkien noodles and Peranakan cuisine in family-run establishments throughout this walkable district. Heritage hotels in converted mansions offer cultural immersion with personal touches. Getting around is easy with abundant tuk-tuks and songthaews connecting you to Phuket's beaches just 30 minutes away.

A bright yellow tuk-tuk heads north on Yaowarat Road through Old Phuket Town. Tuk-tuks offer a convenient way to get around Phuket Town or any other resort town in Phuket yet, their rates are often over the top. Always bargain the fee of your course before to get in, if you wanna avoid bad surprises... #LifeAtExpediaGroup

Talat Nuea

Talat Nuea's colourful Sino-Portuguese shophouses transport you to Phuket's tin-mining heyday. Chinese shrines fill narrow streets with incense while century-old coffee shops serve Hokkien noodles at marble-topped tables. The area bursts with authentic cultural experiences from traditional medicine shops to local markets selling Thai delicacies. Family-run restaurants dish up genuine Peranakan cuisine that won't break the bank. Heritage boutique hotels in restored shophouses offer cultural immersion with historic charm. The compact area is best explored on foot, with songthaews available for trips to Phuket Town centre.

Exploring the streets of the charming Old Phuket Town. On the road to the town, we got soaking wet from the rain and I had to buy the touristy tank and these elephants pants to change into. Great memories from being #OnTheRoad in Thailand.

Chinatown

Phuket's Chinatown dazzles with ornate Chinese shrines tucked between colourful Sino-Portuguese shophouses. Red lanterns glow against weathered facades while traditional medicine shops display dried herbs in glass jars. The Weekend Market and Talad Yai buzz with energy, perfect for sampling authentic Chinese-Thai cuisine or hunting for unique treasures among the narrow streets. Getting around is best done on foot through the compact historic core, though tuk-tuks and taxis are readily available. Heritage hotels in restored buildings offer cultural immersion with traditional architectural elements. Most shops and eateries close by early evening, making mornings ideal for exploring this living museum of Chinese-Thai traditions.

Top landmarks in Phuket

All the food you can think of on the island while walking between these old colorful Sino-Portuguese houses. The crowded weekend market known locally as Naka Market in #Phuket old town is the largest in the island, with plenty of family businesses offering food & shopping items. Despite it is a small market when compared to the huge Chatuchak market in Bangkok, it certainly beats the other markets found at Patong, Karon & Kata beaches. If you're a tourist, don't forget to bargainhard! #Thailand #LikeALocal #LifeatExpedia #trovember

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Phuket

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Phuket is during May, September, and October, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended to fully appreciate the island's key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural beauty. Visitors can explore stunning beaches, serene islands, and charming small towns, while enjoying great value for money at local dining spots and shopping venues. This timeframe could see prices drop even further, making it a prime opportunity for a romantic or relaxing getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Phuket, consider visiting the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see if prices drop or if new rooms become available, helping you secure the best last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Phuket. If you're in search of a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you find the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Phuket's superb public transport options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
