Phuket Old Town Community

Phuket Old Town is a destination that reflects the charm of Phuket through its well-preserved Sino-Portuguese architecture and the vibrant traditional lifestyle of the local people. Along the historic streets like Thalang, Dibuk, and Krabi, visitors can enjoy stylish cafes, local restaurants, and shops that showcase the unique identity of the community. This area is like a living museum, telling the history of Phuket from its prosperous mining era through the culture of the Chinese and Malay descendants, including language, food, clothing, and traditions. Old Phuket Town is also a hub for creative activities and cultural festivals throughout the year, such as the Phuket Old Town Festival and the Nano Local Food Walk, which attract visitors while promoting sustainable grassroots economies. With the efforts of the local community to preserve its identity and pass down cultural heritage, Old Phuket Town is not only a cultural tourism destination but also a model for urban development that harmoniously connects the past, present, and future.
