Thavorn Grand Plaza is splendidly set amid the heart of Phuket’s business and shopping district. While being surrounded by an Entertainment Complex including night clubs, pubs and karaoke lounges, it is only 35 minutes away from Phuket’s International Airport and 15-30 minutes away from a selection of 16 wonderful beaches.

A charming city and a curious amalgamation of apparently differing cultures, Phuket Town is one of the most important tourist destinations of people from all across the world planning a trip to Thailand.  A network of small alleys create a maze-like structure throughout the city, much of which dates back to the era of tin mining during which countless emigrant workers settled in parts of the city. The architecture of these old parts of Phuket Town accentuate this fact as many of the buildings built during the age still stand today… mute witnesses of an era gone by.

The most prominent influence on Phuket Town has been that of the Chinese workers whose characteristic styles of architecture are today blended with more modern influences to form a style which is distinctively that of Phuket's alone. The streets of Old Phuket Town are lined with 100-year-old shop houses that are home to restaurants, guesthouses, printing offices, gold shops,
art galleries, coffee shops, and personal residences - among other things. It's well worth a look; some people consider the Old Town to be the best part of Phuket with its abundance of Sino Colonial Architecture.
