Go for a stroll through the colorful streets of Old Phuket Town and soak in the eclectic architecture and lively atmosphere of Thailand's former tin-mining capital. Throughout the centuries tin attracted both workers and industrialists from all over the world to Phuket, and today the old part of the city remains famous for its eclectic mix of Chinese mansions, Portuguese houses, and other historical architecture. Many of the once residential buildings now house shops, restaurants, cafes, and small museums. The neighborhood especially comes alive during the Sunday markets, when locals set up stalls with snacks and souvenirs, and street performers showcase their talents to passersby.

Lovely secret coffee house in the historic house. The owner and his family are so friendly and explain us the history of the town, thier house and family.

Historic building and home maintained by same family since it was built in 1939. You are invited inside if you order a beverage. Then you are also treated to an informative historical dialogue from the grandson.
