Saphan Hin is Phuket Town’s most popular public space with mangroves, plenty of green landscaping, activity spaces and a public sports complex with a public swimming pool.

Phuket’s Mayor plans to make Saphan Hin Park the ‘lungs of Phuket’ and to put all the electric cables for the whole Phuket Old Town area underground.

“Saphan Hin Park is a seaside public park that now needs renovation as it has been decayed because of the content exposure to salt water and the sea air damaging the stone retaining wall,” said Phuket Mayor, Somjai Suwansupana.
