Borrii House

Borrii House is let as a single apartment, so the whole home is what you book. The apartment's double room measures 36 m² and has a king bed, a mountain view and air conditioning, with a private bathroom that includes a shower.

The room has a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle, cleaning products, toiletries, towels and slippers, and it sleeps up to two guests. The apartment also has a kitchen and a washer.

The apartment has free parking, a kitchen and coffee or tea facilities, along with a washer, a closet and a TV. Air conditioning, toiletries and towels are provided as well.

A laundry service is available, and English and Thai are spoken. The kitchen and washer make it practical to stay for several days without relying on outside services for every meal and every load of laundry.

Layan is a residential part of Phuket, quieter than the nightlife strips of Patong, with sandy beaches along its coast and resorts and villas set back from the sand. Phuket is linked to the mainland by bridge, so the island's main sights are reached by road, and the area suits a calmer stay that still keeps the rest of the island a drive away. The hills behind the coast give the area a greener feel than the busy strips further along the shore.

Layan Beach is 1.2 km away and Bang Tao Beach 2.3 km, both good for a swim or a walk along the sand. Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's best-known temples, lies a drive away, and the Big Buddha statue on the Nakkerd Hills, 23.8 km away, is one of the island's most photographed landmarks. Phuket International Airport is 8 km away, for arrivals and departures.

Patong Beach is 14.8 km away. A good day could start with a swim at Layan Beach, followed by a visit to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha. In the evening, Bangla Road in Patong is the island's best-known nightlife strip, a very different scene from the quieter streets around the apartment.
