The best knows street in town - Thalang road and soi rommanee
Phuket Town fairly shines with personality and nowhere more so than its Old Town. In this historically rich part of town you will find shrines, temples (Buddhist and Chinese), ornate and beautifully preserved 'shophouses', quaint cafés, tiny printing shops, impromptu private and public museums and even a mini ex-red light district.
A walk along soi rommanee, the street that connects to Thalang Road evokes Phuket’s interesting history. Like many streets in Phuket’s old quarter, there are lots of attractive Sino-Portuguese style shop-houses. Some of the vintage buildings have been converted into bars, guesthouses and cafés. This area is truly a hidden gem – full of colourful renovated buildings. The mix of colours and uniform design along with the eclectic blend of commerce makes for an impressive combination. This area plays host to a wonderful mix of nationalities who have chosen to live here: it has Thais, Chinese, Malays, Indians and Nepalese. Some local families have been living along this street for generations. Most of them have Chinese backgrounds hence along this street will have alot of feeling mix between Thai- chinese culture on the street that attractive by sino- portuguese style shop-house on both side.
Nowadays it is known as one of the most attractive and romantic lanes on the island as it was the first in the area to be renovated. It’s common to see young Phuket lovers, especially those who are getting married, dressed in full wedding regalia for their pre-wedding photo shoot around These streets.
In this area also have many interesting shops such as Baba Yaya's dress shop, well knows for peranakan or “mixed” in the fullest cultural sense of the term. Great local foods such as Hokkien noodle and Rice noodle with yellow curry crab or small cafes and restaurants all along the street like China Inn. Once or twice a year, a town festival will pack the streets with thousands of tourists and each shop will open up to the street, mostly selling all kinds of foods and sweets. It's always fun to blend with the locals, but it can get seriously crowded.
Thalang road and soi rommanee are the historical heart of Old Phuket Town, has saved most of its old Sino Portuguese houses, beautiful place to go out and are now the best known street in town. A hidden gem – full of colourful renovated buildings make for an impressive combination.
