Traveler reviews
Steve Johnson
★★★★★a year agoStamp collectors, you need to stop in to the Post Office. The old Post Office next door is now a philatelic museum with some nice displays and a stamp collector library and a nice lady that will pull out a book of current issues. And sell you commemorative stamps
Loven RAMOS
★★★★★4 years agoBeautifully restored old Phuket post office building and now converted into a philatelic museum. The front area is a parking lot so it ruins the view of this historic structure so wish they can create an alternative parking space to keep the facade and area more pristine. The new post office is just right beside the building so pop by the museum if you’re doing any mailing or business with the post office in the island.
