Phuket - Governor's Residence

The old governor's residence near Put Yaw Temple is the seat of the province's administration. Built in the 1920s in the colonial style, the stucco decoration and the capitals on the pillars in the entrance portal are remarkable. The residence was used in the U.S. Vietnam war film "The Killing Fields" as the Cambodian governor's palace. Opposite stands a Portuguese-style building constructed in 1916 and now the province's law court.
