Phuket Old Town food walk: what to eat and when to go
Sino-Portuguese shophouses, the local dishes worth hunting down, and why evening is the right time for a food walk.
Phuket Old Town is not a beach. It is a grid of Sino-Portuguese shophouses around Thalang Road, and it is where the island’s Hokkien and Baba food culture lives.
Evening is the right time: the heat drops, the Sunday market fills the streets, and the food stalls are at full strength.
