The Phuket City Guides deal with what visitors really want to know: where to find Hokkien noodles and southern curries in Phuket Town, which beaches and viewpoints are worth the traffic, how to reach Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay ahead of the crowds and where to drink in the Old Town instead of on Bangla Road. Every guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or book and a practical tip for each place, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides
Kan Eang Restaurant
Chalong Pier, Chalong
A big seafood restaurant with tables over the water at the end of Chalong Pier, looking out at the boats. Portions are generous, so three dishes are plenty for two. From the food guide.
Wat Phra Thong
Thalang, north Phuket
A calm temple in the north where a golden Buddha sits half buried in the earth; local lore says those who tried to dig it out had bad luck. Few foreign visitors make it here. From the things to do guide.
Bebop Live Music Bar
Yaowarat Road, Old Town
Jazz and soul from a full band most nights, in a big new room with space to dance and well made cocktails. Expect a one-drink minimum. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Phuket
Day one, Phuket Town: Hokkien noodles and Peranakan dishes from the food guide, the shrines and painted shophouses from the things to do guide, the view from Khao Rang and a jazz or cocktail bar in the Old Town. Day two, the south: Big Buddha and Wat Chalong in the morning, a swim at Kata or Nai Harn, seafood at Rawai and sunset at Promthep Cape. On a rainy or slow day, the family guide points to Central Phuket, the MAYA MUSEUM and the aquarium, and the budget guide to the markets.
