This early morning walk unveils through the vibrancy of Phuket Town, unbeknownst to many. Seen as the foundation of what crafted Phuket to date- from its early tin-mining history to how it has evolved and maintained its roots - this brings forward the cultural and historical side of Phuket.

Our walking trails commence at the Shrine of the Serene Light (Sang Tham Shrien), a sacred place for many Thai Chinese residents where our guide explains the essence of its spiritual importance. Next, we shed an explanatory light on the street art that graces its surroundings. Across the main road weaving through Phuket town lies the Amulet Market, a happening meeting point for locals, the perfect place to witness trade and commerce reigning supreme. From peeking at the numerous stalls, some of the iconic landmarks - such as Kasikorn Bank and the historic Memory at On On Hotel – further explore the historical richness of the island’s main town.

Phang Nga Road is yet another aorta for Phuket Town’s artistic significance. A trendsetter in the art stream is “Sitao Studio” where clients will become artisans themselves. A one-hour painting workshop intertwines with an introduction to moulding Bisque-fired ceramics. A gem in the historical trails, Phuket has encountered at the Museum Phuket, formerly occupied by the Old Standard Charter Bank. As the sun begins to rise, the hues and artistic flavours of Soi Rommanee and Thalang Road complement this morning's tour. Art and food effortlessly blend here as various captures of picture-perfect street art liven up this unique part of Phuket.

This wander through Phuket Town ends at the Buddhist Mongkol Nimit Temple, known for its much-revered Chedi and serene location. Particularly the temple's exterior makes it an undervalued part for those exploring Phuket Town. An invigorating 4-hour tour ends with a lunch at a local restaurant.

Cancellation: There is no charge if any cancelation made 24 hours before the travel date.
