Long before the beaches, a tin island where Hokkien Chinese migrants mined a fortune and built a Straits port town of pastel Sino-Portuguese shophouses. An old town of arcaded lanes and tin-baron mansions, Chinese shrines behind one of the most extreme festivals on earth, and a Baba-Nyonya society with almost nothing to do with the rest of Thailand.
