Baanfuengfah Hotel

Mountain views are part of the offer at Baanfuengfah Hotel, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Rooms can have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator, and some have a bathtub and a shower.

Several rooms sleep up to three guests, and the standard room and the standard twin room sleep two. A room is also assigned on arrival, and children are welcome at the hotel, which is on Rassadanusorn Road in Phuket Town.

The hotel has a 24-hour front desk and an elevator, and 24-hour room service brings meals and drinks to your room at any hour of the day or night. Free parking is available for guests who arrive by car, and the front desk is staffed around the clock, so help is available at any hour.

Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms, and Wi-Fi is also available in the public areas of the hotel. The property is smoke-free and has non-smoking rooms.

Baanfuengfah Hotel stands on Rassadanusorn Road in Phuket Town, the island's administrative centre, where shophouses, markets and temples sit side by side rather than along a resort strip. The area appeals to travellers who want to see the town itself before heading out to the beaches, and its streets are quieter than the beach areas of Patong and Karon.

A pier lies 500 m from the hotel, and the Phuket Old Town, with its restored Sino-Portuguese shophouses, is 2.9 km away. Wat Khosit Wiharn is 1.4 km from the hotel, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is also nearby. Patong Beach is 11.1 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 24.7 km away, so a car or taxi is the simplest way to reach the beaches.

A good day starts with the Phuket Old Town and its markets, then continues to Wat Chalong, one of the island's most visited temples, and to the Big Buddha on the hills above it. The day can finish on Patong Beach, where the beach road is lively in the evening. Patong is the best-known beach on the island and lies farther from the town than the temples and markets, so it works better as a separate outing.
