The day opens on Thalang Road, where colored shop-houses line a street that still carries the sound of morning markets and motorbikes. Your guide leads the way through Phuket Old Town — a compact neighbourhood of Sino-Portuguese facades, lacquered doors and narrow alleys — then the van climbs toward hilltop viewpoints that frame Kata Noi, Kata and Karon like pages in a traveler's atlas.
