One of the rapidly growing tourist hubs in the South East Asia is Thailand. Off the mainland are some of the most exotic islands, among them Phuket has its own notable place. Popular tourist destination among all tourists from all parts of the world, the island is busy all around the year. Phuket Luxury Resort has also been a key highlight of most people’s holidays. A well-recognized hotel among them is, COMO Hotels & Resorts. The resort captures the true essence of Phuket and offers sheer luxury to its guest.
Phuket old town is a treasure to be cherished. Regarded as one of the historically rich parts of the island, the area is a walk to the past. Here one can find many shrines, temples, tiny printing shops, “shop houses”, impromptu museums and even a small ex – red light district.
The rise of the Phuket Old town in the past century is mostly dedicated to the rich metal trade which was an important commodity. This quarter has some of the most exciting places from the past to drop by.
One of the interesting places to visit while in the old town is to drop by the old Phuket houses. The Sino -Portuguese Shop houses are an interesting place to visit as this was once where a family would live and at the same time do business. One of the other similar places to swing by while here would be the Sino Portuguese mansion. This mansion has a distinctive architecture worth a check.
After all the strolling around there are various places to grab a bite , however one of the well-known spots would be the Baan Klang Jinda Restaurant. Dating back to around 108 years this restaurant is still functional. However you cannot expect superior ambiance or a dining experience here.
