A Old Town Bar Crawl

Four stops, one evening. A Phuket drinking neighbourhood.

This is a working bar crawl through Old Town, Phuket's most concentrated drinking neighbourhood. A Phuket drinking neighbourhood. Four stops, one evening, mapped by editors who actually drink here on Friday nights.

The order matters. Start polished, peak in the middle, end somewhere quieter. Every room listed below is within a 10-minute walk of the next one — that's the value of a neighbourhood crawl.

Total time: about five hours. Total spend: depends on you, but plan £60-£100 per person. Save this page, send it to whoever you're meeting, and let Old Town take care of the rest.
