A journey into Phuket Town’s past begins with a walk - one that encompasses treasures easily missed from the back seat of a taxi. This isn’t a strenuous stroll, about 2km, however gives a real feel of Old Town. Let the PHUKET TREASURE MAP guide you along viewing the cultural and contemporary areas, historic buildings, shops, eateries and special places.

The Memory at On On Hotel The Charm of Phuket’s Spirit
Marked incomparable - step into The Memory at On On Hotel Rich Sino-Colonial heritage Phuket’s first hotel, since 1929 A Phuket signature not to be missed when visiting Phuket Old Town
Follow the foot prints starting at the Promthep Clock Tower M (See on MAP - START HERE). Facing south, walk the block and around the corner onto Rasada Road. Follow it up to Suriyadate Fountain O past the award-winning Bank of Ayudhaya N Sino-Colonial building, on left side. Continuing straight up on Ranong Road takes you through the Fresh Market. Turn left at Soi Phutorn to Pud Jow Shrine F and Jui Tui Shrine G Alternatively, you may choose to loop right around from the Suriyadate Fountain onto Yaowarat Road. Decide if you will go straight along or right onto Phang Nga Road. If you look carefully on Phang Nga’s north side, about 50m from the corner of Yaowarat Road T-junction, spot an archway indicating a Chinese shrine. Walk through the newly renovated entrance and soi (lane) and behold the Shrine of Serene Light H Back along Phang Nga, note the historic The Memory At On On Hotel FF where the opening scenes of the movie, The Beach were filmed. One street north running parallel to Phang Nga Road is Thalang Road U one of the main supply streets. Like nearby Soi Romanee D (a visual joy in itself with memorable photo opportunities), the overhead wires have recently been buried adding to its historical ambiance and Sino Colonial splendour. As you pass, take a moment to appreciate the flavour of old Phuket. For local cultural information visit the Tourist Information Center B You will see also or perhaps first sniff, the aromatic Nguan Choon Tong, Phuket’s oldest Chinese herbal medicine shop W Continuing - walking west, Thalang Road turns into Krabi Road where you will want to visit the splendid Phuket Thaihua Museum C – housed in a 1911 Chinese language school. Finish your stroll at 96 Krabi Road A The surreal setting and Phuket Town’s grandest and most distinguished angmor-lao (foreign mansion) has now opened its doors as the world renowned Blue Elephant Governor Mansion Phuket - Cooking School & Restaurant, Royal Thai Cuisine.
