Phuket Town
The historical and administrative center of Phuket traces its roots
back centuries - first, to the early European traders and later to the
Chinese immigrants who arrived here during the local tin mining
boom of the 19th century. Today, Phuket Town continues to thrive
as one of the island's most authentic cultural areas, punctuated by
magnificent architectural treasures, Chinese shrines, colorful open-air
markets, and restaurants that serve some of Phuket's most delicious
local cuisines.
