Phuket Town is the provincial capital of Phuket, with streets of Sino-Portuguese shophouses and older townhouses that give the area a different feel from the beach resorts of Patong and Karon. The hostel is on Montri Road, and the town's own life, with its markets, museums and small restaurants, is close at hand. The old quarter is easy to explore on foot, and the pace is slower than in the resort areas.

Phuket Old Town is 450 m away, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is nearby. Her Majesty the Queen's 72nd Anniversary Park is 200 m away, a green public space for a morning stroll, and the Peranakan Museum, 350 m away, covers the Peranakan culture of the town. These sights sit within the same quiet stretch of streets, so the walk between them is short.

A day can start with a walk through the old streets and the park, then head out to Wat Chalong, one of the island's most revered temples, which is 7.6 km away and reached by taxi. For a beach afternoon, Patong Beach is 10.8 km from the hostel, reached by road, and the contrast with the quiet town streets makes a good half-day outing.
