Nai Yang, Phuket, Thailand, May 2017: About an hour South is Phuket town, the principle settlement and administrative capital of the island. On -line references to the old town, a preserved quarter, should make for an interesting few hours away from the beach. A local bus leaves the airport every hour, costs 100 Baht one way with various stops along the way. With the bust station just a few streets away from the old town, just a 10 minute stomp and one finds streets with character and steeped in colonial history.

The area is limited to a few streets of shop houses turned quaint and quirky coffee shops that seem to be springing up all over Thailand. The odd villa and exquisite mansion can be spotted on the edges as can the local temple. Here’s a round up of what the old town looks like….
Temples are always good for few moments of escapism – escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside streets and relax in the peace and calm of a Buddhist temple complex. If the timing is right you can get lunch too!

The night market here is quite nice. They close off the street to cars from 5pm.
