If you think of Phuket, you probably know the colorful and old buildings that I will present below. These buildings are called "Sino-Portuguese architecture". If you have ever been to Penang or Macau, you will be familiar with them. Simply put, it is a mixture of Chinese and Portuguese styles. Today, we will take you for a walk and take some cool photos on a day when Phuket is not very crowded because it is the low season. It is a comfortable day for walking around.

Let's start at Thalang Road, which is probably the most crowded street. Cars are parked on both sides of the road, even though it is the low season. We parked our car almost at the end of the alley and got out with our cameras, ready to be cool. As tourists say, out of season, hahaha!!


Walking down the middle of the alley, a place called Rommanee Alley.

This is another spot that's a huge hit. People are bustling around,

posing for photos in their own ways. Some are sitting, some are standing.

But what caught my eye were the paintings on the wall. I later found out that this is Street Art.

And the name I heard most often was "RUKKIT." His work is inspired by Block Stencil (in the second picture).

And "Alex Face," a skilled graffiti artist whose three-eyed child character many may recognize.

There are probably many other artists, but I don't know them. I apologize for that.

But I did manage to capture several pictures to share with you.

Walk through Soi Rommanee and turn left onto Dibuk Road for approximately 200 meters.

You will encounter a large mural depicting the portrait of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).

The mural was created by a group of over 30 students from various institutions under the name "4 Studio," along with local residents of Phuket province.

The painting, which covers a massive wall, dwarfs the people standing in front of it, as seen in the picture.

This artwork has garnered significant attention, with people queuing to take photos continuously.

However, if you plan to visit and take pictures, please be cautious of traffic, as the mural is situated directly at a red light intersection.

Additionally, the person taking the photo and the person posing for the picture will need to be on opposite sides of the road.

Returning to Thalang Road, I was drawn back by the vibrant colors of the buildings. I ventured into a side street, where I found a charming mix of old-world and modern shops.

Restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops lined the narrow lane, catering to all tastes. The one-way street was filled with parked cars, so be cautious when taking photos.

We are still on Thalang Road, walking to the mouth of the alley.

Another large building, named "Songwan Pharmacy", seems to have been renovated several times.

However, the shape of the building still retains the unique Sino-Portuguese architectural style,

making the building look beautiful, prominent, and elegant at the mouth of the alley on Thalang Road.

At the intersection in front of the alley, the municipality has laid tiles on the road in the shape of a junk.

It is both beautiful and helps to increase the safety of the area, making cars drive slower in this area than on other roads.

Turning right onto Phang Nga Road, which is much quieter than Thalang Road.

Most of the buildings in this area are either hotels or old-fashioned shops.

There are no chairs for customers to sit on, so the houses in this area tend to be a bit quiet.

However, the buildings all look similar.

We guess that this area has been heavily mixed with modern times.

However, the municipality is likely to control the construction characteristics.

To maintain the old-fashioned Sino-Portuguese atmosphere.

Walking into Phang Nga Road, there are still Street Art around.

However, due to parked cars on both sides of the road, some photos could not be taken.

Capturing some of these shots required significant effort, including tilting the camera, stretching my body, and exploring various angles.

However, some images are truly impossible to find.



We walked to the end of Phang Nga Road.

I'm so tired. Honestly, it's not easy to walk every alley and collect all the pictures.

It took us about 2 hours. Why can't I even drag my legs back to the car?

No wonder the coffee shops and rice shops around here are always full of people.

This should be a major landmark in Phuket Town.

Usually when I go to the sea, no matter how many times I go, I can't escape going into the sea, diving, and looking at the coral reefs.

But in fact, Phuket Town is also very beautiful.

If you have free time after your trip to the sea, you can come here for a leisurely walk and take photos to show off to your friends.

It's a good idea.
