Harry Potter in Phuket, Thailand? 🧐
#wheretogo to live your Harry Potter fantasy when in Phuket, Thailand?
Thailand is known for its people's creativity - they set trends when it comes to the latest cool hangout spots and ideas. Thankfully, this means hardcore Harry Potter fans might not need to travel to the UK for now, as Phuket is home to its own Hog's Head?
Hog's Head Inn is famously known for being a historic (though disresputable) tavern in the Harry Potter series. Fans will know of its peculiar design, interesting drink concoctions, and spooky atmosphere. Located in Phuket Old Town, Hog's Head Pub Phuket enchants visitors with the famous slanted door, as well as decor that transports you into a Harry Potter book.
While the food looks great, I recommend going for the mocktails (or alcohol). The non-alcoholic butter beer is a must-try - sweet with the right amount of gas for a little burp! The whole menu is priced affordably, and the staff were awesome. Even if you're not a Harry Potter fan, go down for a unique experience. PS live bands perform here after sunset!
Address: 27 Yaowarad Rd, Talad Yai Muang Phuket 83000 Thailand

Take A Walk At Old Phuket Town 🇹🇭
#citywalk
The old phuket town is a historical attraction in Phuket City, where it is vibrant and full of life. It may be pouring on the day that I visited this place but it was still bustling and busy with people/tourists. The streets are decorated and painted with beautiful street art and you can walk along rows and rows of well preserved old shop houses, that speaks so much of Phuket's Thai History.
You can see a great mix of old and new at Phuket Old Town. There are great cafes, Michelin restaurants suitable for the young and then there are old shops selling Thai snacks, street food stalls, etc catered more for the old. Come here during the weekends, and there is a night market held at old phuket town. It's a great place for a walk as there's so much to see, do and eat at old Phuket Town.

A safe haven from the rain in Phuket old town
ROOF CAFE, Phuket Old Town
Phuket old town is a must see if you’re visiting the island, it’s such a quaint place to wander. However, the rain can come out of nowhere and catch you off guard. Thankfully there are plenty of cafes to hide until the rain passes.
This place caught my eye on my wanders and luckily I was heading back past it when the rains came so I jumped in.
The space is really impressive with lots of water features and original parts of the old building. The cafe has a good choice of coffee, cake and small dishes - I opted for a brownie and an orange Americano and it was delicious!
The cafe has a small ordering area with a few tables, but then you follow the stepping stones and pass through the hole in the wall to find more seating.
The atmosphere is chill, there’s something so soothing about the constant sound of the water features in the background. And the back wall is a big window so you can watch the world go by and see when the rain has passed.
Really happy I found this spot I’ll be back without a doubt. #phuket #phuketoldtown #coffee #cafe #coffeeshop

Escape the crowd - Phuket Old Town🏝️
#wecreate
Not a fan of nightlife and trying to figure out cool place to go in Phuket with lesser crowds? Yeap, Phuket old town is one of the spot. I’ve always avoided Phuket as I personally labelled it as ‘Party Island’ due to its vibrant nightlife. But since Trip offered a good flight price + hotel, I decided to give it a chance for a quick getaway.
The first night in Phuket, I went to Bangla road and my social battery drained. If you’re a party people, you’ll definitely love it but not for introvert like me. I was thinking to find other places to go in Phuket and Phuket Old Town caught my attention.
I went there the next day at around 8.30am and it’s really quiet. The shops are still closed and only a few cafe open for breakfast. I decided to walk around and grab a chocolate drink from a vending machine (it’s delicious!) and take some cool photos since the Sino-Portuguese building is unique. Colourful!
And there’s a plus too if you visit Phuket Old Town. You will get the chance to visit Chalong temple, one of the most important temple in Phuket. I think the best time to visit Phuket Old Town is after 12pm but if you want to take some cool shots without any crowds 8-10am is perfect. If you stayed in Patong area it will take around 20 minutes drive to reach there.

The inspiring center of Phuket Town
Usually tourists do not pay much attention to Phuket city center and prefer to rent hotels near the beaches of the island in order to be closer to the sea. However, even if you came to Phuket for a beach holiday, I advise you to definitely visit Phuket Town. Here is a very pleasant city center, along the streets of which you should definitely walk at least once.
In addition, there are many excellent hotels in Phuket Town where you can stay and they are much cheaper than those located on the coast 👍

Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town
My girlfriend and I booked a private car (supposedly) for 8 hours and the driver pick us up at our hotel with a mini bus!
We went on to visit Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town. It was raining that day and was informed by the driver that we may not be able to see the Big Buddha because the weather was very foggy, so we went to Wat Chalong first.
We had forgotten that visiting a temple will require the girls to cover up a bit, so we went to the neighbouring shops to buy a shawl for the girlfriend. So please remember to grab a shawl when you are visiting the temples there. We then spent awhile walking around the temple and climbing up the pagoda.
Undefeated, we asked the driver again if we see the Big Buddha and he drove us there to try our luck. The fog and rain was insane and we could not see the Big Buddha even at close up. All of a sudden, a gust of wind came and it revealed to us the holy buddha. It was enormous!!
Then we headed to Old Phuket Town for some food, it was amazing. We bought so many street food from the friendly vendors. My favourite one was the tiny fried shrimps and mango sticky rice!

Harry Potter’s fave pub
Any diehard Harry Potter fan would know the Hog’s Head. Tucked in the heart of Phuket Old Town, the Hog’s Head is a whimsical attraction that makes every tourist do a double turn. No wonder for it comes right out the famous Harry Potter series and features many of the classic drinks from the stories such as butter beer, Lady Luck, A Nun’s Curse etc. The menu also includes lunch items like sandwiches, and other Western staples. Make sure the Hog’s Head is on your bucket list the next time you are in Phuket!

You gotta try this Roti @ Phuket Town!
Would you believe that this roti (prata) shop gained a Michelin Bib Gourmand Award in 2020? Came across this shop with recommendations from the popular Mark Weins’ videos and they totally kept it 💯! Crispy, buttery, the umami flavours… shiok sia.
I ordered the chicken massaman curry - forget the gravy man - let’s talk about the chicken! The meat is so soft and tender, it just melts in my mouth. The gravy was ok lah - a bit too sweet for my liking but the chicken fulamak, kick me off my chair.
K. I’m definitely coming back for more tomorrow! 😂

My family and I went to the Phuket town to explore. The colourful buildings in yellow, blue, green, all those bright colours, brightens up our mood. It can be very hot under the sun, so please visit here during the fall season if you like to spend more time here. There were shops selling Souvenirs, and cafes around the corner.
On the weekends they do have markets around the old Phuket town where you can grab good deals. As there are not much hotel choices around the old Phuket town area, you might want to consider coming here once during your entire trip.

Old Phuket Town Dragon Landmark
Old Phuket Town, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000, Thailand
When you are in an old Phuket town, you will definitely be able to see their giant gold dragon. The huge tall dragon looks impressive. I can see a few tourists taking pictures with the dragon.
I have no clue why the dragon was placed in that area. My guess would probably be to bring prosperity to the people and let them have more business. The stern looks of the dragon would probably be chasing away those unlucky things and bringing more business to the people there.
The old Phuket town has cafes as well as shops selling paintings and artistic souvenirs. Do take a look when you are visiting Phuket the next time.
