In their own words: “Good morning guys. We have come to the historic center of Phuket and coming in we really like the vibe here. It reminds us of Penang in Malaysia and that's because of the history here in Phuket. What you'll see as we walk around this area and as we came in is all these beautiful colorful buildings.
