Apartments for rent in Phuket Town, Thailand
Phuket Town is a
comfortable distance from the somewhat frenzied nightlife spots of Patong,
Kata and Karon, and is a calm, relaxed place to live. Also known (perhaps
inappropriately) as Phuket City, the town is still very much a ‘Thai’ area,
despite having all the modern amenities a western visitor will need. Our
Phuket Town apartments are just five minutes from Central Festival, the
biggest shopping mall on the island, and ten minutes from Tesco Lotus and
Big C.
Phuket Town is also the centre for history on the island. Centuries before
the island of Phuket began attracting the sand-and-sea tourists we see
today, it was an important centre for Arab, Indian, Malay, Chinese and
Portuguese traders who came to exchange goods for tin and rubber with the
rest of the world. Francis Light, a British colonialist who made nearby
Penang (in Malaysia) the first of the British Straits Settlements, married a
Phuket native and tried unsuccessfully to pull the island into the colonial
fold.
Although much of the original multicultural heritage has now disappeared
from much of the island, some of the original architecture can be seen and
experienced in the province’s capital, Phuket Town. Traces of
Sino-Portuguese architecture remain and the city streets, which move to the
rhythm of everyday Thai life, feel a long way from the unadulterated hubbub
of Patong. For a glimpse of the Phuket behind the westerner-filled tourist
traps, bars and beaches, Phuket Town is ideal.
