Everyone was lovely and accommodating. It was a good experience, the atmosphere was very relaxing especially when you book the onsen and the therapist was experienced and good. Everyone can converse well in English. Would recommend this all that comes to Phuket!

Good location, near weekend night market. Staff is so good and nice. After massage, will give a hot towel and tea for you. It’s absolutely a comfortable experience!

Worth a try! It is located in the southeast of Phuket Island and there are relatively few people. You can go in groups of two and be accompanied by a coach personally. The jungle zipline area is not large, and most ziplines are very short (compared to similar projects in Chiang Mai), but there are many different rope climbing projects that are challenging! Walking on the tightrope is really a bit stressful (not suitable for children), but overall it can be completed in about 30 minutes, not 1 hour. The cafe next to it has a nice view, so you can take a rest before going back after playing.

I participated alone as a woman. Because the hotel was far away, there was an additional charge for transportation, but the price was more reasonable than a regular taxi. It was my first time snorkeling, but the instructor supported me and I enjoyed it very much! The explanation beforehand and the announcements on the boat were appropriate, and I was glad that they showed me photo spots on the island and actively took photos! I'm glad I took the courage to participate. Thank you for the best experience!

From the street you cannot appreciate the beauty and atmosphere of this place. Once inside You find yourself in an oasis of calm and relaxation. Everything is beautiful here starting from the interior and of course the women who do a quality job and give you their energy. Thank you so much for your hard work ! This is the best place I have been lucky enough to visit!

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.
