Vacationers with an eye for traditional architecture and intricate design elements will enjoy taking in the sights of the beautiful, sprawling mansions tucked away further along Thalang Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of these mansions scattered across the old town. Some, like the <strong>Phra Pitak Chinpracha mansion<\/strong> have been converted into glamorous establishments. Tthe mansion now hosts the renowned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueelephant.com\/phuket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Blue Elephant<\/strong><\/a> restaurant. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others have retained their traditional charm while also serving as dining or sightseeing venues.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Raya-Restaurant-Muang-Phuket\/114089951989786\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Raya<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on Phang Nga Road is a great option for lunches and dinner, while <strong>Baan Chinpracha<\/strong> serves as a home and museum.

The waterfalls in Phuket may not be large nature attractions, but they do make for a&nbsp;relaxing hangout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider making&nbsp;a stop by at <strong>Bang Pae Waterfall<\/strong> (set within the&nbsp;Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, it is the longest waterfall on the island),&nbsp;<strong>Ton Sai Waterfall<\/strong> (this is also a great birdwatching site within the&nbsp;Khao Phra Thaeo National Park) or <strong>Kathu Waterfall<\/strong> (containing a total of four plunge pools, this site is great for taking a refreshing dip to cool off from the tropical heat!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Indulge_in_a_sumptuous_seafood_feast\"><\/span>3.

There are plenty of luxury restaurants in Phuket, but there&#8217;s also a charm in\u00a0discovering local venues that dish\u00a0out mouthwatering fare in a fuss-free, traditional setting.\u00a0We&#8217;ve only heard good things about places like <strong>Mor Mu Dong<\/strong>, a hidden gem of a find boasting thatched roofs pavilions set over a mangrove swamp and delicious fare, as well as <strong>Kru Suwit Seafood Restaurant<\/strong> &#8211; a venue set right above the sea waters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Visit_a_secluded_coast\"><\/span>4.

However, with droves of vacationers peppering across the shores, these places are not quite ideal for those hoping to spend a quiet morning by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avid beach-goers won&#8217;t mind the effort needed to access <strong>Freedom Beach. <\/strong>The coast\u00a0here is rather remote due to its inaccessibility &#8211; it takes a one-kilometre trek over a thick jungle or a boat ride to arrive on the shores. Can&#8217;t be bothered to make the journey? Opt for more accessible venues like the northern end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-phuket.com\/en\/find\/bang-tao-beach?utm_source=vp-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=phuket-off-the-beaten-path\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Bangtao beach<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Natai beach<\/strong> or <strong>Panwa beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Take_in_the_picturesque_sights_from_Radar_Hill_Viewpoint\"><\/span>5.

The west side looks out to bustling Patong and the Andaman Sea. If you ascend a small hill on the east you&#8217;ll set sight on Chalong Bay and Phuket Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride to the hilltop is equally scenic, with roads that take you through villages and vast rubber plantations. Best of all &#8211; unlike other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-phuket.com\/magazine\/2016\/10\/best-viewpoints-phuket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viewpoints in Phuket<\/a>, like <strong>Rang Hill<\/strong> or <strong>Big Buddha<\/strong> &#8211; Radar Hill doesn&#8217;t draw hordes of travellers.
