Unfortunately, many tourists only see this cultural gem from the inside of a tuk tuk en route to the celebrated Patong, and miss out on this undiscovered corner of the Andaman. Make sure you aren’t one of them! Hire a tricycle to chaperone you through the shop-lined streets of the Old Quarter. Not the standard, rickety tricycles, mind you – some have been modernised and fitted with comfy leather seats, sound-speakers and champagne coolers!
