Kopitiam by Wilai Restaurant in Phuket Town

Kopitiam by Wilai is a recently renovated restaurant serves classic Thai food in an old-style Chinese shop on the most popular street in Phuket Town. Thalang Road changed from just an old busy street to a full-scale tourist attraction, bars and restaurants have started to appear like flies on honey.

Super Cheap Market Phuket

Super Cheap is quite amazing: you could organize a giant treasure hunt in it. We were writing a ‘Phuket Price Check’ story, trying to find 10 simple items we had written down on my list, but gave up halfway when we suddenly realized there was no way we could spot half of them.

Saphan Hin in Phuket Town (Sapan Hin)

Saphan Hin in Phuket Town doesn’t look like much during the day: a dull-looking rectangular lake, a waterfront with not much to enjoy except for a sunken boat, a vast empty parking lot, a massive abandoned shopping mall once called ‘Lucky Plaza’ and a Chinese shrine.

Phuket Amulet Market

Phuket Amulet Market might not be the most exciting attraction in Phuket, but if you happen to be exploring the town, it might be worth a look.

One Chun Restaurant Phuket

One Chun Restaurant is one of the best Thai restaurants in Phuket Town. Serving southern Thai and uniquely Phuket cuisine without compromise. They first succeeded with locals who are not easy to impress when it comes to their food: great food, reasonable price, fun atmosphere, excellent service and good location.

Wat Mongkol Nimit – วัดมงคลนิมิตร พระอารามหลวง

Wat Mongkol Nimit or Wat Putta Mongkon might not be the most impressive temple in Phuket but this one means a lot to people living around Phuket Town. All temples are of course worth visiting but since Wat Mongkol Nimit is close to Thalang Road, the historical streets of Phuket Town it would complete your visit perfectly.

Central Phuket – Central Floresta and Central Festival

Central Phuket is one of the biggest malls on the island, split into two massive wings on either side of a wide road: Festival and Floresta. If you’re just exploring, it can feel like two different malls, but it’s actually one big complex.

Soi Romanee in Phuket Town

Soi Romanee, in the historical centre of old Phuket town, is a short street with a long and colourful history. Today it is home to souvenir shops, fancy ice cream parlours and small but posh guesthouses.

Rang Hill in Phuket Town (Khao Rang)

Rang Hill (Khao Rang), located in the middle of Phuket, is famous for its scenic restaurants, temple, monkeys, and a new viewpoint bridge.

The Upside Down House Museum and Fun Attractions

The Upside Down House Museum is one of the most surprising attractions in Phuket. Once you see it with your own eyes, there will be no need for any explanation as this pink house is standing upside down on its roof in a garden, as if some giant kid had casually dropped it after playing with it.

Koh Sirey

Koh Sirey is an island connected to Phuket town by a very short bridge, this small piece of land doesn’t have any particular signs, but this is where you will find the beautiful Westin Siray Bay Resort.

Thai Hua Museum

The Thai Hua Museum on Krabi Road in Phuket Town is a pleasant surprise. We visited it a few years ago when it reopened, and despite being in a beautiful mansion, it was just an empty building.

Naka Weekend Market

Phuket Naka Weekend Market (previously called Chaofa Variety Weekend Market) stands as one of Phuket’s largest night bazaars near Central Festival on the outskirts of Phuket Town. Locals call it ‘Talad Tairod’, meaning ‘Car Boot Sale’, while some refer to it as ‘Phuket Chatuchak’ after Bangkok’s famous weekend market.
