Half a day is actually enough to play, really clear water and fine sand, the tour guide is very nice, the explanation seems very clear. Most of the group members were foreigners, so the whole process was in English (although book in Chinese).

The tour guides and drivers are all great. There are so many tourists. We stopped too quickly on Maya Island and did not appreciate the beauty of the island. However, we have to pay a fee to enter the island. If you get seasick, you must take seasickness medicine first.

This was the greatest experience in our trip so far. Thanks to Mr Bobby and PNT team for taking us around the islands safely. Hats off to all for making this such a memorable experience. Enjoyed every moment of this wonderful adventure. No complaints and looking forward to enjoy the rest of the trips booked on Klook app :)

I was a little worried because it was a cheap price, but it was a lot of fun. The island where you can go up to the beach took its time and the schedule was great. However, even though it was advertised as a half-day course, we arrived at the hotel at 3pm, so be careful when making your schedule. Also, the pick-up on the way there was a little late.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Soi Romanee

Step into the vibrant past of Phuket at Soi Romanee, a street that beautifully marries history with modern charm. Once a bustling red-light district during the tin-mining era, today it’s a haven for photography enthusiasts and Instagrammers alike. Wander through the picturesque lanes adorned with stunning Sino-Portuguese architecture, and capture the essence of a bygone era. Whether you're an early bird seeking a peaceful morning stroll or a festival-goer during the Old Phuket Town Festival, Soi Romanee promises a delightful experience.

Thalang Road

Immerse yourself in the heart of Phuket Old Town at Thalang Road, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. This bustling street is the epicenter of local culture, especially vibrant during the Sunday night market from 4 PM to 10 PM. Shop for unique local crafts, savor delectable street food, and soak in the lively atmosphere. For an authentic dining experience, don’t miss out on Kopitiam by Wilai. Thalang Road is not just a street; it’s a celebration of Phuket’s rich heritage and dynamic present.

Wat Mongkol Nimit

Find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of Phuket Town at Wat Mongkol Nimit. Located near the vibrant Soi Romanee, this peaceful temple is a sanctuary of calm. Marvel at the large golden chedi and the beautifully preserved Sino-Portuguese houses where monks reside. The temple grounds are adorned with trees bearing Buddhist principles in both Thai and English, offering a serene environment for reflection and spiritual rejuvenation. Wat Mongkol Nimit is a must-visit for those seeking a deeper connection with Phuket’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

A Walk Through History

Soi Romanee's transformation from a red-light district to a vibrant cultural hub is nothing short of fascinating. Once filled with brothels and opium dens, this street now showcases beautifully restored Sino-Portuguese architecture. It's a must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in the rich cultural tapestry of Old Phuket Town.

Delightful Local Flavors

Soi Romanee is a paradise for food lovers. Don't miss Torry’s Ice Cream, where you can indulge in unique Phuket-based flavors like O-Aew and A-Pong. For a more traditional experience, head to Aungku Phuket Coffee Shop, known for its charming Sino-Portuguese design and Instagram-worthy floral decorations.

Historical Melting Pot

Phuket Old Town is a treasure trove of history, with its stunning Sino-Portuguese architecture reflecting a blend of Thai, Malay, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian, and sea gypsy influences. The area flourished during the tin-mining boom, attracting a diverse mix of people seeking their fortunes.

Culinary Adventures Await

Embark on a culinary journey in Phuket Old Town, where local dishes are a feast for the senses. Sample vegetarian delights near Jui Tui Shrine or savor authentic meals at Kopitiam by Wilai. For a variety of local flavors, the trendy food court on Dibuk Road is a must-visit.

Echoes of the Past

Soi Romanee's past as a red-light district adds a layer of historical intrigue to your visit. While the street has been revitalized, you can still see remnants of its former life in the abandoned buildings, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.

Phuket Old Town Festival

Experience the vibrant energy of Soi Romanee during the annual Phuket Old Town Festival. The street comes alive with tourists, live bands, and a festive atmosphere, making it the perfect time to soak in the lively and fun vibes.
