English language - Phuket buildings

As I began teaching this year the staff were interested in their local area
Best Point.
What does "best point" mean?
Next to a mosque?

Then "best point" was opposite a cemetery.....


The secretaries discussed the difference between a town and a city, rural and urban.
Then I saw Ao Makham - city.

It may be all about marketing but it was confusing for my pupils.

(Marketing is another lesson)
