Phuket is the capital of the island province of Phuket, which is in South Thailand. While most travellers come to the island for its beaches, Phuket City is where the main airport is located. Moreover, it is where travellers can experience the true culture of Phuket which is unique and interesting. The architecture is also one thing that shouldn't be missed. You will find shops in 70-100 year-old Sino-Portuguese style buildings on several roads around Phuket Town area that are worth visiting.
People who are staying longer than a week or so should find it easy to buy their groceries from the Tesco Lotus Hyper market. The prices over there are ridiculously cheap and one can easily get the fresh fruit, especially the award winning coconut, pine apples, mangosteen at good prices.
