Seaside promenade in Phuket Town, with mangrove, food stalls, monument to tin miners and Chinese shrine.

About 3 km south-east of the old town, Saphan Hin is the main public space for locals. A 3 km loop runs along the sea, with preserved mangrove. At the roundabout, the tin monument pays tribute to Captain Edward T. Miles. Stalls sell fruit, Thai desserts and grilled meats, and restaurants serve seafood, kanom jeen and Isaan cuisine. The Kio Thian Keng shrine, by the sea, marks the closing of the Vegetarian Festival.

Our local tip

Come late afternoon, when the park comes alive and the breeze cools things down, and leave before 10pm.
