G202 is in Karon, a beach area on the Andaman coast of Phuket, on Patak Road. The beach here is long and sandy, and the streets behind it are lined with local restaurants, bars and small shops, so the area has a relaxed everyday feel. The apartments suit visitors who want the sea and a few temples close by, without staying on the busiest resort strip.

Karon Beach is 550 m away, and the neighbouring bay of Kata, 1.2 km off, is known for its surf. The Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 1.6 km away, and Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 4.3 km away and is one of the island's most revered Buddhist temples. Karon Night Market, 1.3 km away, opens in the evening with street food and local goods.

A good day could start with a walk along Karon Beach, then continue to the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and finish with the night market in the evening. Patong, further along the coast, is known for its beach and nightlife if you want a livelier evening. Getting around is simple by taxi or rented car, since Phuket is linked to the mainland by bridge.
