Location & what to see
Aekkeko hostel is in Talat Nuea, the old quarter of Phuket Town, the provincial capital. Many streets around Krabi Road have Sino-Portuguese shophouses, temples and small museums, and the markets and food stalls are part of everyday life. It is a lively area for travellers who like to walk between sights, with the old town architecture close by and the rest of the island a drive away.
Phuket Old Town starts 300 m away, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is 350 m away, a night market with street food and local vendors. The Phuket Thai Hua Museum is 50 m away, and the Peranakan Museum, which covers the Peranakan families whose merchant houses shaped the town, is a short walk further on. The Phuket Town Local Bus Station (Terminal 1) is 1.1 km away for local buses, and Patong Beach is 10.1 km away, reached by taxi or car.
A good day can start with a walk through the old town, combine the museums with an evening at the Sunday night market, and end with a trip out to Patong Beach, which is a longer journey by taxi or car. The hostel is a short walk from the old town, so the first part of the day can be spent on foot.
What guests say
