In our last trip to Phuket, we chose to stay in the Old Town area. Usually we would have stayed in the popular Patong Beach area but this time we decided to stay in Phuket Town itself for a change and also because there are better dining options there. One of the most popular restaurants in the Old Town is One Chun. It is almost an institution there and it’s always busy! Located in a 19th century building, this vintage restaurant is appealing with its charming old Chinese … [Read more...]
