Patong is Phuket's best-known beach resort, a busy stretch of sand lined with restaurants, bars and shops, and its streets stay lively well into the evening. Central Perk Patong sits on Prachanukroh Road, on a quiet street, with the beach still close by. Patong Beach is 600 m away, so a morning swim is an easy start to the day. The hotel's terrace and bar give a place to relax after a day out.

Bangla Road, 1.3 km away, is Patong's best-known nightlife street, with bars, clubs and night markets. Freedom Beach, 2.1 km away, is a small, quieter cove for a swim away from the busier sand. For the temples and sights further out, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 6.1 km away and is one of Phuket's most revered Buddhist temples, while the Big Buddha, 6.5 km away, is a large seated statue on a hilltop. Taxis are the simplest way to get around.

A good day starts with a swim at Patong Beach, then a visit to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha in the afternoon, before returning to Bangla Road for the evening. Freedom Beach is an easy addition if you want a quieter stretch of sand for the middle of the day.
