Phuket Town or Phuket City
This is probably the place where tourists expect to come first. It is like the departure from the Phuket Airport, and it is the place where the routes to other places meet. That means if you are at Phuket town you can go to every attractive place in Phuket. But anyway, in Phuket town there are a lot of attractions, places, people and culture.
There is no racism or prejudice here. There are LGBT groups and lots of transgender people, who can live their lives here openly.
Nightlife is actually the first reason why people come into Phuket town. The restaurants, discos and bars make this place so exciting.
Phuket Old Town
The Old Town is most attractive historical place you should visit. It was established during the peak of the tin mining industry at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. It’s the place you can take photos as if you are living in the old period and restaurants, coffee-shops, boutiques or bars make the Old Town more attractive.
Phuket Walking Street

Mai Kaw beach
This what we call “UNSEEN THAILAND” where you can take a sunbath and watch the planes landing on the runway. But be careful while planes are taking off because of the jetstream that will blow the sand into your eyes — and do not throw anything up into the air or use drones that will damage the planes.
