Phuket Town is the island’s main town, on the east side away from the west-coast beaches, with an old quarter of shophouses around Thalang Road.
On average our picks here score higher than those in any other Phuket area, and the highest-rated property we list on the island, Arco Phuket Town, is here.
The trade is obvious: there is no beach. Our Phuket Town picks are all more than 9km from Bangla Road in Patong in a straight line.
