Green Gen Hotel Phuket is in the Ratsada area of Phuket, on Koh Sirey, where the streets mix local houses, small shops and Buddhist temples. The beach is 640 m from the hotel, and the setting is different from the beach resorts further along the island, where hotels cluster. Guests looking for the busier beaches will need to travel further along the island.

Wat Ban Koh Siray, a Buddhist pagoda 250 m away, is one of the closest sights. Rassada Pier, a ferry terminal 1.3 km away, serves boats to the islands off Phuket, and Talad Kaset, a local market, is 3.3 km away. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 10.4 km away and is one of the island's best-known temples, while Big Buddha, a large white seated statue on a hilltop, lies further out.

A good day can start with a walk to the pagoda and the seafront, then a visit to Wat Chalong or the Big Buddha. For trips to the islands, the ferry pier is the starting point, since the boats leave from there rather than from the hotel. The mix of temples, seafront and local market makes for a varied day, with the hotel as the starting point for each.
