Getting There

• Walking

  If you are staying in the central area of Phuket Town, you can easily walk to the Ancient buildings in Sino-European style. Start from the Thalang Road, which is a popular street lined with many shops and cafes. Head towards Dibuk Road, which is about a 5-10 minute walk. As you walk down Thalang Road, keep an eye out for the colorful buildings and street art. Once you reach the intersection with Dibuk Road, turn left. The Sino-European buildings will be located shortly on your right. The entire walk should take around 15 minutes.

• Tuk-tuk

  For a more local experience, consider taking a tuk-tuk. You can find them easily around the main tourist areas. Simply tell the driver you want to go to 'Dibuk Road' in 'Talat Nuea'. A typical fare from popular areas like the Old Town or the Clock Tower should be around 100-150 THB. Make sure to negotiate the price beforehand. The ride will take about 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from various rental shops throughout Phuket Town. Once you have your bike, head towards Thalang Road, then make your way to Dibuk Road. The ride will take about 10-15 minutes, and the area is quite flat, making it easy to navigate. Look out for bicycle lanes and be cautious when riding on the road.

• Public Bus (Songthaew)
