My greatest regret about this visit is, I failed to complete a heritage trail which I had planned prior to my coming here. Should I put the blame on my city guide cum driver who was not competent in English and who failed to understand what I wanted?? "Where is Krabi Road?", I asked him. He said he did not know where that is. Probably he only knew the Thai translation of Krabi Road? I had wanted my heritage trail to start from Krabi Road where I could see Phra Phitak Chyn Pracha Mansion and then slowly move on to the other heritage buildings along the way. "Where is On-On Hotel?" That is the first hotel ever built in Phuket. To my disappointment he said he did not know where On-On Hotel is? No words could express my frustration so I told him to just drop us at Thalang Road to walk around. It was humid but mad dogs and Englishmen walked and walked under the hot midday sun.
A shop more than a century old.
Soi Romanee used to be the red light district of Phuket.
The buildings on Soi Romanee has been given a complete makeover.
I managed to see Surin Clock Tower.
At least the driver knew where the post office is.
