Why go
Begin in Old Phuket Town while the streets are easier to read, then use Thai Hua Museum to connect the shophouse facades with Phuket’s migration and tin-trade history. The Shrine of the Serene Light and Jui Tui Shrine show two different scales of Chinese religious life within the town. Finish at Khao Rang for a wider view over the urban fabric you have just crossed. Museum schedules can change, so confirm the indoor stop and keep the shrines or streets as the route’s flexible anchors.
