Discover the Colorful Side of Phuket – Say Hello to Dopamine Phuket Town‼️

#phukettrip When you’re in Phuket, don’t just chase the sea—make time for Phuket Old Town, a nostalgic gem tucked behind the island’s bustling beaches. 🍀 Phuket Town: A Hidden Time Capsule Phuket Old Town is small and charming, and you can easily explore it in half a day. It’s perfect for those with a layover or a slow travel day. If you’re not rushing, consider staying a night in town to truly soak in the atmosphere. 🍀 Wander by Day, Frolic by Night Spend your day strolling through Phuket Town’s colorful streets, and by night, dive into the most famous night market on the island — Chillva Market (aka the Frog Market)! 🌈 Phuket Old Town Highlights ☑︎ Don’t let its size fool you — the town is full of vintage vibes, with Portuguese buildings, Chinese-style arcades, rainbow-painted walls, and quirky decorations (yes, including rainbow bears and unnamed lucky mascots). ☑︎ If you’ve got an eye for beauty, every corner is Instagram-worthy. This place is a pastel dream, like walking through a fairytale. ☑︎ Skip the overly crowded “check-in” hotspots like the clock tower, Tien Kong Shrine, flower wall cafés, and Yuan Chun Tong — they kind of blend together. ☑︎ Visit on a sunny day! Cloudy skies will dull the vibrant house colors, and you’ll miss the dopamine pop. ☑︎ If you’re up for it, rent or bring a Thai student uniform — that iconic lavender purple looks stunning against the candy-colored backdrop! ☑︎ I’ve marked the best photo and stroll zones on the map (see photo 3). Follow the suggested route and try to walk in a loop — no need to backtrack! 🌈 Chillva (Frog) Night Market Tips ☑︎ If you can’t eat your way across all of Thailand, this market gives you a flavorful shortcut — ☑︎ Find local eats like noodles, Thai BBQ, raw seafood, tropical fruits and more. ☑︎ Outdoor seating and live music make this the ultimate chill night — grab some food, sit back and vibe out. ☑︎ You’ll also find affordable Thai handmade crafts, fashion items, and souvenirs. Great variety and prices! ☑︎ Chillva Market is one of Phuket’s top 3 night markets, open Monday to Saturday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM (closed Sundays). The other two are Naka Market (Saturdays) and Phuket Sunday Market (Sundays only).
