Open the appKathu Museum
Heritage Museum · Patong, Phuket
Former sino-European style distillery in Kathu, now a small museum dedicated to Phuket's culinary history.
The museum occupies a sino-European heritage building, a former distillery belonging to a wealthy Chinese merchant, managed by the Kathu Municipality. Its three buildings showcase Phuket's culinary history. A large banyan tree overlooks a small reservoir in the garden. Exhibits are limited and the upper floor is often closed; the visit is worthwhile mainly for the architecture.
Our local tip
Quick visit to combine with Kathu Shrine and the Phuket Mining Museum; have dim sum breakfast at Ketho DimSum across the street.
