Ancient building in Sino-Portuguese architecture

Dibuk Road, Talat Yai Subdistrict, Mueang Phuket District.

Phuket is known as a city rich in history and long-standing prosperity, representing one of Thailand’s historical gems. The city's flourishing past began in 1903 when the first Sino-Portuguese buildings were constructed, driven by the booming tin mining industry that attracted many Chinese and Westerners to settle in Phuket. Upon entering the municipality of Phuket, visitors are immediately struck by the grandeur of the old buildings that stand proud in the city's historical commercial district. These Sino-Portuguese structures harmoniously blend Western and Eastern artistic elements, forming a distinctive identity that characterizes Phuket. Scattered throughout the town, these historical buildings can be explored on foot, allowing for a continuous and enjoyable experience. In addition to the stunning architecture, visitors will find a variety of delightful restaurants offering tasty dishes to savor while exploring the area. The local government recognizes the importance of these architectural treasures and has taken steps to preserve the Sino-Portuguese style, promoting it as a tourist attraction. A designated walking route through old Phuket Town has been established, allowing tourists to appreciate the beauty of the city’s heritage homes and the exquisite Sino-Portuguese architecture. This journey offers not only a glimpse into the artistic past but also an opportunity to engage with the vibrant culture and lifestyle of the locals, complemented by the renowned delicious cuisine. Walking through old Phuket Town, where the charm of Sino-Portuguese architecture unfolds, is a historical path truly worth exploring.
