Patong is one of Phuket's busiest beach towns, and Hangover #1 Hostel Patong is on Nanai Road, with Patong Beach 1.2 km away. The town is lively, with bars, restaurants and street stalls that stay open late into the evening, and shops line the roads behind the sand. Patong Beach is the main focus of the town, where visitors swim and sunbathe in the daytime and the streets fill up after dark.

Bangla Road, the best-known street for nightlife, is nearby, with its bars and clubs busy late into the night. The Jungceylon shopping centre, with its shops and restaurants, is also close by. The Dragon Night Market is 650 m from the hostel and is one of the evening markets in the town. Further out, the Big Buddha is 6.3 km away, a large white statue on a hilltop, and Wat Chalong is one of the island's best-known Buddhist temples.

Phuket International Airport is 25.4 km away, so most arrivals reach the area by road from there. A good day could begin on Patong Beach, continue with a visit to the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and end with dinner and a stroll through the night market back in Patong. The beaches of Karon and Kata lie a little further along the coast and offer a different atmosphere for a day trip.
