Starting at 1:00 PM, this immersive journey begins in the heart of Phuket Old Town. You’ll dive straight into the island’s culinary soul, tasting authentic Hokkien fried noodles and the refreshing O Aew jelly dessert while your expert guide reveals the stories behind these local staples.

As you wander through the vibrant streets, you'll admire the iconic Sino-Portuguese architecture. The highlight is an exclusive visit to a hidden historic home, once the residence and workshop of a resilient Hokkien watchmaker. This private gem offers a rare glimpse into the ancestral grit of Phuket’s early settlers.

To conclude, you’ll ascend to Khao Rang Viewpoint for sweeping panoramic views of the town and coastline, capturing the island's beauty from above before a comfortable return to your hotel.
