After spending just two nights and one full day (where I saw Rang Hill viewpoint and Old Town), it was time for me to leave Phuket.
I had a sumptuous breakfast, checked out of The Village, Coconut Island and reserved a spot on the transfer boat to leave the resort.
I hired a taxi (cost me 600 Thai baht) to take me to Phuket International Airport.

I began my day with a visit to Rang Hill viewpoint and once I was done with that, I decided to walk down the hill.
How I got down and walked to Old Town is in my vlog* (video blog), which you can watch at the end of this blog post. But it is possible to walk from Rang Hill viewpoint to Old Town in around 30 minutes.
Phuket island used to have a rich history in tin-mining and many who came to work in the mines in the 18th century were from China, Malaysia and India. Then the Europeans came and the result of all these influences is what you see in Old Town’s architecture.

I arrived in Phuket yesterday but did not go sightseeing anywhere as I ended up sleeping due to jet lag. Also, the skies were grey and it rained a bit too.
I had just one full day in Phuket and fortunately, unlike yesterday, the sun was up and the skies were blue!
