Phuket plays host to a wonderful mix of nationalities who have chosen to live here: it has Thais, Chinese, Malays, Indians and Nepalese, a young and growing Eurasian community and a unique mix of Hokkien Chinese and Thais called ´Baba´.

The Baba community´s heritage can be seen in Phuket´s Old Town in its architecture, commerce, dress and way of life. The core of the Old Town essentially is made up of five roads and several ´sois´ (small streets), these are Rasada Rd, Phang Nga Rd, Thalang Rd, Dibuk Rd, and Krabi Rd. This quarter teems with history and after years of neglect is currently being renovated.
