A lot of Phuket's architectural heritage is via Penang it's sister island. The Hokkien Chinese that emigrated often from Penang brought this 'style' with them. A rich blend of European colonial influences from the English, French, Italian and Dutch often embellished with local details such as lotus.

Very interesting post. I have always wondered about the significance of the lotus flower used so emblematically
As always, so nice to see photos from the other side of the world!
Happy Saturday!
