open double quote We arrived from the UK jet lagged, hired a car at the airport and drove to Surin Bay in 30 minutes. We were wonderfully surprised by Surin Springs as the house turned out to be very well designed, in a small attractive complex with a delightful pool overlooking a lake complete with floating lilies and jumping fish! Our bedroom (the master) had a lovely balcony (where I would escape to read my book) facing the small lake. Every bedroom was spacious with good sized bathrooms and showers and with plenty of Thai touches such as the silk throws on the bottom of the beds!

We enjoyed our time at Surin Springs enormously as there was so much to do in the locality. For us the proximity of so much that suited our different needs and idea of a holiday was a great plus. A beautiful white sandy beach with safe swimming and warm turquoise water was only a few minutes walk away and we visited it early in the morning on a daily basis. There was an abundance of different restaurants located on the beaches and a favourite spot was the Surin Bay Inn where we occasionally had breakfast or a sundowner, the Sky Sports Screen and internet facility being an absolute must for our teenage son!

After a great week at Surin Springs we headed south the Panwa peninsula, less than an hour away but completely different – where we stayed in a villa called The Moorings right on the beach. Speinding a week in one spot of the island and then another in a contrasting area was an ideal way to have a two week holiday. We would love to return

Phuket's Old Town

 

Phuket Town built its riches a century ago from the boom of its tin industry which was already 300 years old. Nowadays, the town and indeed the Old Town still show the incredible architecture and affluence that once was.

Phuket's Old Town is awash with Sino-Portuguese style mansions and shop houses, which make up the originating town and are spread across only a few streets. Although shops and restaurants open later in the day, Thalang Road, which slices through the Old Town, has a fascinating array of quaint and unique shops making it the perfect place to stroll around before the sun gets up to maximum temperature.

The Old Town is a stark contrast to Phuket Town and certainly the densely packed tourist areas. With many restaurants serving up boiled or fried chicken, duck and pork dishes including the staple diet of noodle soup, the scents you'll encounter from passing-by will be forever ingrained in you.

The area holds host to the Old Town Cultural Festival, whereby the locals dress up in traditional 'Yaya' style and put on a superb show of dances with Thai, Malaysian and Chinese influences.

Dibuk Road, which connects to Thalang Road, is famed for its arts and textile shops as well as its French and Chinese restaurants. It may seem like a mish-mash of cultures colliding into one small area of Phuket, and it certainly is, but that is exactly where the intrigue, the beauty and of course the interesting history stems from.

Although a century ago, when tin-miners used the Old Town to unwind after a hard day's work with opium, fast women and gambling, the area is now a fantastic array of restaurants, bars, unique shops and markets. The commercial side of Phuket Town is far enough away to feel as if you have been transported back in time, as if you are seeing those evocative black and white photographs of yesteryear in color, today.
