Most visitors to Phuket will never go to Takua Pa, a sleepy town way off the main road, but those who venture off the beaten track are rewarded with scenes of a bygone era
I visited Takua Pa old town last year during a journey in Khao Lak at the end of December. There was no Sunday market due to Covid. The town looked like stuck in the past. It was very quite. I felt like the only tourist in the area.
To access, I took a moto taxi from the bus station. The man drove me on one the most beautiful road I've seen in Thailand. I saw the former governor's house, walked the main street, took my time and enjoyed that moment.
The Town that Time Forgot
Hello,
I visited Takua Pa old town last year during a journey in Khao Lak at the end of December. There was no Sunday market due to Covid. The town looked like stuck in the past. It was very quite. I felt like the only tourist in the area.
To access, I took a moto taxi from the bus station. The man drove me on one the most beautiful road I've seen in Thailand. I saw the former governor's house, walked the main street, took my time and enjoyed that moment.
Takua Pa old town definitely worth seeing.
