  • Peranakannitat Museum, which is also called the Baba Museum. Most of the displays are on loan from locals, so the holdings are continually in flux without a permanent collection. The museum is still in a state of development, in other words. It’s beautiful Sino-Portuguese building was once the Standard Chartered Bank and was built in 1900. For years the building remained empty and abandoned, until it was tidied up and turned into a museum. Peranakan refers to people of Chinese and Malay descent - Phuket had a large influx of these people during its tin mining boom.

  • Endless Summer Cafe Phuket, housed in a lovely Sino-Portuguese mansion that later became a local kindergarden before its present incarnation as a boutique cafe. The cafe and shop has become a popular hotspot in downtown Phuket Town, partly because of its setting but also thanks to its eclectic collection of goods on offer, and gourmet treats.

  • VT Namnueng Vietnamese Restaurant - Namnueng Restaurant is another of a series of upmarket restaurants in Phuket Town that have taken over lovely old Sino-Portuguese straits architectural gems of villas, spruced them up, and turned them into restaurants. Namnueng’s special feature is that it is focused on Vietnamese cuisine, rather than Thai food. It also occupies a large, green compound with lush gardens in front. Mixed reviews make it clear, however, that the experience is more about the architecture and surroundings than the food or service.
