9. Old Phuket Town

Long before tourists were coming in their droves, Phuket had been a popular destination for ocean-going traders. Patong’s large harbor gave ships shelter from storms and the island’s location made it an ideal location for traders from across the region and further afield. The island also had a booming tin industry that helped it to become a bustling center of trade.

Visit Old Phuket Town and you will get a look into the islands real history. Here, you will find colonial mansions and other buildings that stand as a testament to the islands rich history. The old town is small enough for a leisurely stroll, yet still has plenty to keep visitors occupied.
