TRAIL ITINERARY
15:00 - 20:00
Our guide and driver will pick you up from your Phuket hotel at around 3.00pm and we head inlands towards the main city of the island – Phuket Town.
The capital of Thailand’s only island province is worth visiting for its shopping, restaurants, and delightful examples of Indo-Portuguese mansions constructed by Chinese tin and rubber barons. Phuket town was originally settled about a century ago by Chinese residents of Malaysia who were drawn to the lucrative mineral deposits. Tin and rubber fortunes created by the great rush formed the great Sino-Thai dynasties, which still dominate the economies of southern Thailand.
Wandering through the Sino-Portuguese centre of traditional Phuket – there is no better means to smell feel and touch Phuket’s architecture along its side streets and historical buildings. Crafted and designed in accordance to old and still practiced measures, Phuket Town represents to be admired and there is no better way to see the eye for detail in the design work by foot. Outside its rich cultural heritage, its quaint colonial mansions, there are many stories to tell about the history and design of Phuket Town and your guide will have all the ins and outs for you.
Phuket Town is a true melting pot of street side eateries and stalls that serve only the best. Together with viewpoints such as Promthep and Karon View Point, the vistas atop Rang Hill are famous for those seeking front row seats to watch the sun set and those in search for a prime spot for great views of Phuket Town.
