Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Built in 2003 at a roundabout in Phuket's Old Town, the Sino-Portuguese style clock tower replaced a disused radio mast and is now one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Its architecture blends harmoniously with the colorful, historic shops of the surrounding streets, making the area a popular photo spot and an ideal starting point for exploring the historic district on foot.

The atmosphere around the roundabout is authentic and untouched by tourism. It's bustling with everyday traffic, street vendors, and small, independent shops. The surrounding alleyways invite a leisurely stroll, offering Sino-Portuguese shops, local restaurants, and a significantly more tranquil way of life than the lively beach districts of Phuket. Visitors arriving in the late afternoon will find particularly good light here for photographing both the tower and the colorful architecture in the area.
