Abundant with serene landscapes and amazing scenery, Phuket is considered by many to be 'Asia's most popular beach destination'. Ranging from the pristine white sands fringed by azure ocean that have earned it this moniker to the wildlife-rich rainforests of its interiors and the neon-lit main drag of Patong City, the island defies being pigeonholed into any one category. Phuket City's Old Town is a charming blend of old and new, and the cafe and store-lined main street, Thalang Road, is a vibrant display of Sino-Portuguese architecture. With its night markets, vibrant nightlife scene, tranquil forests, and stunning limestone karst scenery, Phuket draws an eclectic crowd from nature lovers to self-proclaimed party animals.

The life-size statues of heroic sisters, Thao Thep Kasattri and Thao Sri Soontorn, stand side by side on this decorated marble plinth located at Tha Rua. Built by local residents, and opened on 23 May 1967, an annual fair commemorates the bravery of these two girls who were instrumental in the defeat of the Burmese in 1785. By disguising hundreds of women in army uniforms and parading them through the town, they tricked the enemy into believing that they were troop reinforcements from Bangkok. This eventually forced the Burmese to withdraw.

Located on Pa Khlok Road, to the east of the Two Heroines Monument, this museum gives an insight into Phuket's colorful history.

There are also artifacts depicting details of early, everyday life on the island and the cultural aspects of the Sea Gypsies.
