О месте: Вичит
Wichit is a subdistrict of Mueang Phuket that wraps around Phuket Town from the west and the south. Its office stands on Chaofa East Road, about 5 km from the provincial hall. Ratsada and Kathu lie to the north, Kathu to the west, Phuket Town to the east, and Chalong and the sea to the south; it has been a municipality since 2007.
It was made in 1942 by joining two old subdistricts, Ra-ngaeng and Ao Makham. The land is mostly lowland between the hills and the sea: fish and shrimp farms along the shore, farms on the slopes and homes on the flat. The council's own motto lists a lighthouse, the sunset at Cape Panwa, a trading port, pearls and Thailand's tin smelter.
The northern half is town in all but name. Central Phuket, a large mall in two wings, stands on Wichitsongkram Road, and housing estates, international and Thai schools and everyday shops spread along the roads around it. Rents are among the lowest on the island for the space they buy.
The southern half is Cape Panwa, a quiet, green headland 15 to 20 minutes from town: sheltered bays such as Ao Yon that stay swimmable in the low season, luxury resorts on the slopes, the Phuket Aquarium at the tip and Khao Khad View Tower on the hill above it.

Rainy-day favourites
Aquaria, under Central Floresta, and the Phuket Aquarium at Cape Panwa's tip, with a turtle hatchery, both fill a wet afternoon; several international and Thai schools are in the subdistrict.
The whole island from one hill
Khao Khad View Tower, about 200 steps up on a hill above Cape Panwa, looks over Phuket Town, Chalong Bay and the islands. It is free and rarely busy.
The calm side of the island
Cape Panwa faces east, away from the monsoon swell: a residential headland of small bays, palms and yachts at anchor, with few facilities and few crowds.
Town life on the doorstep
Central Phuket's Festival and Floresta wings, supermarkets, schools and two private hospitals make the northern half of Wichit one of the easiest places on the island to live.
Dinner by the sea
A Thai dinner in a Sino-Portuguese house on a private beach, a rooftop bar above Ao Yon and small beach clubs on the bays.

Жильё: Вичит
Housing estates, townhouses and condos along the roads into Phuket Town and around Central Phuket; hillside villas and beachfront houses on Cape Panwa, with boutique and luxury resorts on its bays.
Вичит: сезоны
Низкий сезон · с мая по октябрь
May to October: Cape Panwa faces east, away from the south-west monsoon, so Ao Yon usually stays calm enough to swim while the west coast is rough; the beach ends can look neglected.
Вичит с детьми
Wichit is one of Phuket's most practical family bases: schools, two private hospitals and Central Phuket in the north, two aquariums, and sheltered bays on Cape Panwa where children can swim in both seasons.
- International and Thai schools, among them HeadStart, Oak Meadow and Kajonkiet, are in the subdistrict.
- Ao Yon's water is calm in both seasons, but there are no lifeguards and few facilities.
- Aquaria and the Phuket Aquarium are good rainy-day outings.
- Two private hospitals with 24-hour emergency care are in Wichit: Bangkok Hospital Siriroj on the bypass and Dibuk Hospital on Chao Fah West Road.
Как добраться: Вичит, парковка
- Из аэропорта, на машине
- 35–60 мин
- Из Патонга, с учётом пробок
- 25–50 мин
- Из Пхукет-тауна
- 10–25 мин
Wichit surrounds Phuket Town on the west and south: its northern half is 5 to 15 minutes from the town centre, Cape Panwa 15 to 20 minutes, and the airport 35 to 60 minutes away. There is no songthaew to the cape, so a car or scooter makes life easy.
- На машине. Chaofa East and West roads, Wichitsongkram Road and the bypass carry most traffic; Cape Panwa is a 15 to 20 minute drive from town.
- На скутере. The easiest way to combine the cape's bays, the aquarium and the viewpoint tower.
- Grab и такси. Ride apps work well around Central Phuket and town; on the cape, book the return ride ahead.
Парковка. Central Phuket has large car parks; on Cape Panwa, Khao Khad has a big car park, while at Ao Yon residents may not let cars down to the beach, so park on the main road.
Кому понравится Вичит, а кому нет
Понравится
- Families who want schools, a big mall and calm water all within 20 minutes.
- Long-stay residents who prize value and everyday practicality over a beachfront address.
- Swimmers in the low season: Cape Panwa's east-facing bays stay calm when the west coast is rough.
- Anyone wanting a green, quiet headland away from the tourist beaches.
- Travellers who want a secluded luxury resort with its own bay.
Не понравится
- Nightlife seekers: Patong is 25 to 50 minutes away.
- A first beach holiday: the long, lively beaches are on the west coast.
- Surfers: the east-facing bays are sheltered from the monsoon swell.

Bring your own transport

The resorts' day-pass price is mostly food and drink credit; children under six are free at some.
Emergency care nearby
Bangkok Hospital Siriroj and Dibuk Hospital, both in Wichit, run 24-hour emergency departments.
