Patong is one of Phuket's busiest resort towns, a beach area of hotels, bars and restaurants that stays lively late into the evening. Muay Thai gyms and cooking schools are part of the local life, and the streets around the hotel fill with street food stalls and night markets after dark.

Bab Alhara Hotel is on a soi, a side street in the Patong area, close to the bustle of the town. Patong Beach is 350 m away, a long sandy beach lined with hotels and beach bars. Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 500 m away, and the Jungceylon Shopping Center, a large mall, is close by. Karon Beach, a long stretch of sand, is 3.4 km away, and Big Buddha Phuket, a large white statue of Buddha on a hilltop, is 7.1 km away.

A good day could start on Patong Beach, continue to Chaithararam Temple, better known as Wat Chalong and the most important Buddhist temple on the island, which is 6.5 km away, and end with a walk along Bangla Road. Most sights on the island are reached by road, so a taxi, a car or a scooter is the usual way to cover the longer distances.
