I conduct keep said it earlier as well as volition tell it in 1 lawsuit again - I similar Phuket Town, peculiarly the old role of town which comprises a few blocks roughly Phang Nga Road, Thalang Road, Krabi Road as well as Dibuk Road. The narrow roads as well as plough of the century architecture combined amongst the old Chinese shops brand a welcome intermission from the busier parts of town, as well as if yous come upward from the tourist beaches it's similar some other world. Yes, yous are inwards the existent Phuket, which is what this weblog tries to show!
The Phuket Thai Hua Museum is found on Krabi road, a block North as well as one-half a block due west of the traffic circle close the market. Krabi route is pretty quiet, most of the buildings are of the "Sino-Portugese" trend as well as life itself seems slightly old fashioned inwards this role of town.

The brochure I picked upward says it's opened upward every hateful solar daytime except Monday. If yous are inwards Phuket Town, conduct keep a look. If yous are a backpacker as well as rest at the Old Town Hostel, no excuses, it's close 1 infinitesimal downwards the road!
(update 2011) - the museum has been renovated as well as at that topographic point is to a greater extent than to come across now, merely at that topographic point is also an entry fee of 200 Baht per mortal :)
