Soi Rommanee: Rommanee means happiness in Thai. And this used to mean a street brothel, as phuket.index.com notes. Today the houses in colonial and Chine-Portuguese style are beautifully colored and you find here coffee shops, bars, guesthouses, souvenir shops and art galleries. For example: Art and Culture Asia office, Tam Eng Bozique, Glasnost Café Bar and a Tea House. Kerri Hall adds in fahthaimagazine.com: "Interestingly, the entire right side of Soi Rommanee has been renovated while the left side of the lane remains lined with original Chinese shophouses."

Raya Royal Thai Restaurant: 48 New Dibuk Road. Some say it's "the Thai restaurant in Phuket", in a 90-year-old converted two-storey house, decorated Sino-Thai with a "generous splash of Portuguese colonial thrown in", as Phuket.com Magazine notes and it adds: "If good food in a retro-Asian atmosphere is your thing, you'll be in seventh heaven". Khun Kurab is the owhner and she trained many chefs of high-end restaurants in Phuket, knows Riya's Kitchen, who points out: "Find a Local’s specialties Section in the menu, then order everything, you can’t be disappointed."
