I stayed in Phuket for about 2 months and visited and saw almost many places, and they recommended me to see this area called Old Town. Frankly, I love historical places and temples, but I love places with natural beauty more. Of course, when I went to Phuket, I drew a road map for myself, but I never thought of going here. But when I went, I was glad I came here and saw these beautiful historical houses and temples.
As someone who loves to see natural beauties, forests and seas, I also love seeing historical structures. So when I was told about this place, I didn't think much about going and visited this beautiful place. I can say that people are a little more serious in this part of Phuket. Yes, they are all smiling, but in such areas, people prefer to be serious instead of being a little more fun.
As in every part of Thailand, there are historical temples in this region. After all, this is a place in the center of Phuket Island. By the way, there are 2-3 very large shopping malls in the center of Phuket Island. You can buy both clothes and technological products from these shopping malls. Anyway, I had a great time in Old Town and took some photos of this place. Now I want to share these photos with you. I hope you like my photos and my article.
