Patong is one of Phuket's best-known beach towns, and its long sandy beach is lined with hotels, bars and restaurants, so the area stays lively into the evening. The streets back from the beach are busy with restaurants and shops. Full stop. Hostel is in the town itself, 1.4 km from Patong Beach and 1.7 km from Bangla Road, the street known for its bars and nightlife.

Wat Suwan Khiriwong, a Buddhist temple 150 m away, is the closest sight, and Banzaan Fresh Market is a local market for fresh produce and everyday food. Phuket International Airport (HKT) is 23.2 km away, and the journey is by road, since the airport is on Phuket itself and no boat is needed. The hostel's taxi service and airport transfer can help with the longer trips.

A day could start with the Big Buddha, on a hilltop 8.4 km away with views across the island, then continue with a swim at Patong Beach and an evening on Bangla Road. Kalim Beach, a neighbouring stretch of sand, is a further place for a swim, and the streets back from Patong Beach offer plenty of places to eat after a day out, with restaurants and shops close together.
