Old Phuket and Heritage Trails

My suggestions of some do-it-yourself walking tours around the historic streets and buildings of Phuket Town.

If you just want a short walk with lunch then head for Tanon Thalang and Soi Rommanee, but if you want a bit more then follow one of the trails!

Heritage Trail 1.
From Sarn Jao Kao Rang along Tanon Mae Luan to see the Sino-Portuguese Architecture of Tanon Yaowarat, Soi Soon Utis, lunch in Tanon Dibuk, along Tanon Satun passing the Luang Amnart Nararak Mansion to Sarn Jao Mae Ya NangChinpracha House and Phra Pitak Mansion (now the Blue Elephant Restaurant)Stop for afternoon coffee at i-46 in Tanon Krabi. Back to Kao Rang to see the monkeys, watch the sunset and dinner at Tung Ka Cafe or Kao Rang Breeze.

Heritage Trail 2.
Visit the Phuket's Fresh Food Market in the late morning then on to Sarn Jao Jui Dtui and Sarn Jao Put Jor. Lunch at the Natural Restaurant in Tanon Phuthorn return to the Market and cut through Soi Downtown to Tanon Krabi to visit the Thai Hua Museum.
