ECLECTIC DESigN 2 Bedrooms Penthouse Apartment sits in Phuket Town, the island's main town, where streets of Sino-Portuguese shophouses and mansions give the area a character quite different from the beach resorts. Guests who prefer town life to the beach will find local life on the streets rather than beach crowds.

The Phuket Old Town is 800 m away, with its Sino-Portuguese buildings, and Baan Chinpracha, a historic Sino-Portuguese mansion, is 400 m away. The Plein Poa Night Market, 1.2 km away, is one of the town's evening markets. Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), 7.1 km away, is one of the best-known temples on the island. Much of the old town can be explored on foot, but for the temple and the beaches a taxi or hired car is the easier option. A convenience store, an ATM and Vachira Phuket Hospital are all close by.

A good day can start with a walk through the Old Town and a visit to Baan Chinpracha, then the Peranakan Museum, with the Plein Poa Night Market for the evening once the heat of the day has passed. Wat Chalong makes a trip out of town, and the beaches at Patong and Karon are a longer drive away.
