Patong is Phuket's best-known beach resort, a town of hotels, shops and night markets that runs back from a long sandy beach. ASHLEE Heights Hotel Patong sits in this busy part of town, where the streets stay busy into the evening, so the nightlife is close at hand. Visitors who come for the sea, the shops and the evening markets find all three within a short distance of the hotel, which keeps the choice of things to do wide from one day to the next.

Patong Beach is 600 m from the hotel, and Bangla Road, the town's main nightlife street, is 1 km away. Jungceylon Shopping Center, 950 m away, is a large shopping and entertainment complex. Further afield, Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 6.1 km away, and it is one of the most important temples on Phuket. Phuket International Airport is 25.2 km away, on the same island, so the last part of the trip is by road.

A good day could begin on Patong Beach and continue to the nearby bays of Karon and Kata, before a visit to the Big Buddha, a large white Buddha statue on a hill above Chalong. Evenings can be spent at the night markets close to the hotel, where street food and evening shopping are part of the nightly scene.
