A lovely peranakan museum with some cafes and shops with peranakan theme. The entry cost 200 baht for Thais. They recreated replica of peranakan home, foods here. Having visited peranakan museum in Penang and Singapore before, this Phuket Museum is definitely lacking in term of authentic relics and display items. as most of it are replicas. Some of the displayed photos also are lack of context, just some random old photos being displayed without explanation. Overall, it's not worth the ticket price.
