Activities & Experiences

Sunday Walking Street Market on Thalang Road sees local vendors put up their stalls of irresistible Kanom (meaning snacks in Thai) as well as other bites and hand-made crafts. Kanom is a staple in Thai daily life. Whilst walking through the market we recommend you try the various snacks both sweet and savoury, such as little cocoons of rice pancakes with taro or corn (khanom khrok).

If you are a treasure hunter, Phuket Town will be your playground. Old shophouses have been transformed into more modern shops whilst still offering antique charm. Wander around Phuket Town and you will stumble upon an array of shops including antiques, ceramics and vintage items. Don't let the shopfronts fool you; most of these shops have their most interesting items at the back, so take the time to wander in and explore.

In the past year, Phuket Town has seen a boom of photographers and influencers flocking to its streets. The colourful architecture is ideal for a photo backdrop. A day well-spent in town must include a stop at the picturesque Torry's Ice Cream Shop or a coffee break at some of the more trendy coffee shops showcasing local coffee blends.
