I have visited these markets three times now and I have thoroughly enjoyed them each time. The people I have taken with me (including guys who hate markets) have all loved the experience and are eager to return - two of them have even said they could happily visit these markets nightly!!
The markets are predominantly VERY fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood, pork and tasty, varied food. There are also dried foods such as spices and fish. So many kinds of food at bargain prices. The foods are really interesting as well as absolutely delicious!
Make sure you don't eat before you visit as it is a great way to eat dinner. Most food goes for about 10 baht per serve. The best time to visit is from around 5.00-7.30pm. There is a later-night market on Ranong Road itself from around 9.00pm. Day markets also run from this area with more of the clothing.
It is a great place to see the locals' way of life in Phuket. Some of the more interesting choices are; deep fried cockroaches and chickens bottoms on skewers. There are butchered frogs for sale along with a few other less palatable choices. Leave a Comment Address: Ranong Road, Phuket TownDirections: The night markets are situated off Ranong Road and along Soi Downtown. The day markets are along Ranong Road, not far from the fountain roundabout.

What can I say about Phuket Town? The shopping is the only reason to go there, so put on some confortable shoes and get ready to do some serious bargaining.
There are quite a few shopping complexes in Phuket Town where bargaining is not allowed, but you are still guaranteed to get a good deal.
There is Robinsons where there are thousands of pairs of womens shoes. Then there is the Big C, which sells bits and pieces of everything. There is also Phuket Shopping Centre, which is smaller but you will get a better deal.
Then there are the shops on the streets. These shops sell clothes, shoes, bags and everything else you could want. You can bargain at these shops so make sure you don't settle for the first price they say. Always go to the next shop and see what they will offer you.
Wherever you go, you are sure to have a great day out shopping.
You may need to buy an extra suitcase though . . . . Leave a Comment Address: Phuket TownDirections: Any taxi driver can take you there

 typical street in Puket city -
shops & appartments by michelle_x11
Most inhabitants would advise you not to go there and tell you that there is nothing to see. But i think it is a pretext because this is the economic pulse of the island and they maybe don't want it învaded by tourists. I think the islanders might want to keep the tourists in their resorts.
I think it is interesting to see this city, the everyday working life of the people here.
Shopping is great and will find much more quality ware then in Patong. There were some nice boutiques selling decorative stuff (Tyara) and also 2 department stores selling cheap shoes for instance.
Just be warned of the "guides" that will come towrds you and offer you to show you the city. They will surely bring you their friends' shops and try to make you buy stuff. Just do it by yourself you can't get lost. Leave a Comment Address: Phuket cityDirections: East of the island

 Chinese Temple, Phuket Town by Myndo
You have to look a little bit around to find them. The one in the picture was only reachable through a tiny entrance way that goes from the road where also the On On Hotel is (see tip there): Thanon Phang Nga. If you stand with your back to the hotel, turn right and follow the road for about 50 m, then you come to the entrance on your right.
The Temple was decorated for chinese New Year when we visited it. Quite a view. Leave a Comment

 Dive Site by scubaphoto
We were highly impress with Sea Bees. Two of us being Rescue and Adavnced PADI divers and the third one of the group undertaking a PADI Open Water course for the first time. He was very new to diving but seriously enjoyed the course and undertook extra dives after it.
They have also recieved three Golden Dolphin awards for Best Dive Centre in South-East-Asia & Pacific Leave a Comment Address: /3 Moo 9 Viset Road - Ao Chalong - 83 130 PhuketPhone: + 66 +76 381 765Directions: About 20 minutes from Phuket Town properWebsite: http://www.sea-bees.com
