Phuket Old Town Festival



At the tail end of the Chinese New Year Celebrations came the Phuket Old Town Festival.

It was very busy with the local families and we took a group of guests from Cape Panwa Hotel and Kantary Bay.


When we arrived we divided up into small groups and explored.

Tim wandered amongst all the stalls and bought a number of presents for his family – after all it was for Valentine’s Day...


A small group of guests headed straight to Soi Rommanee and the very special atmosphere and bars there.  A small group headed for some of the stalls opposite the TAT office for something to eat and the rest us wandered aimlessly – but none of us took the barge trip on the canal – maybe next time?
