Verified traveler

The gate is just a gate, although the crumbling walls of the old city are picturesque. The Phae Gate leads onto the walking street where the Sunday night market is held.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Stayed at De Naga which is really close, neat area and fun to walk.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The old city is charming and filled with things to see- but don’t go to the night market there. Omg, so crowded and claustrophobic-not the handicraft fair they advertise it as. Just throngs of people.
