In the late 19th century, Kor-Sim-Bi Na Ranong (a Sino-Thai businessman and Governor of Phuket at the time), together with other affluent Chinese settlers, are accredited with the construction of richly decorated hybrid mansions, combining arched windows and doors with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian supporting columns. Many of the buildings are characteristically much longer than they are wide, and the entry ways have fancy latticework. Many lovely examples can be found on Dibuk Road; others include the Provincial Hall (Sala Klang), The Phuket Courthouse (San Jahngwaht) and Nakorn Luang Thai Bank.
