Highlights
  • Old Phuket Town - Phuket has a rich history as tin-mining country peopled by Siamese, Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasians, and sea gypsies. A unique community in Phuket are the “Baba”, with their own way of life, language, dress, and food. The core of this community was formed by early unions between Hokkien tin-miners and Siamese women. This distinctive Baba heritage can be seen in Phuket’s Old Town.
  • Sunday Walking Street Market (Lard Yai) - Phuket Walking Street weekend market, also called

Lard Yai” by the locals, is now the most popular attraction in Phuket City. This weekend street market was an instant success, denoting a need for something to happen in Thalang Road, the historical part of town.

Phuket old town Sunday market - walking street - Fantastic evening for my two teens, amazing street food, tasty, fresh and lots of variety. Affordable shops and stalls with wide variety of clothes, trinkets, crafts, some rip off shoes and sunglasses at the town square end. Lots of live music and beautiful old buildings, really enjoyed this night and if you’re there on a Sunday think it’s a must. Warning it does get crowded although we thought this added to the friendly atmosphere.
