Hawa House Phuket Oldtown sits in Phuket Town, the island's old administrative centre, where Sino-Portuguese shophouses with colourful facades line narrow streets. Small museums and old temples sit between the shophouses, so the area feels different from the beach strips of Patong and Karon, which lie further out. The Sino-Portuguese houses were built in the era of the tin and trading families, and they are a good reason to walk the streets slowly.

The Old Town is 100 m from the hotel, and the Sunday Walking Street Market (Lard Yai), 200 m away, fills its streets with food stalls and local goods on Sunday evenings. The Peranakan Museum is around 300 m away, and Wat Mongkol Nimit is only a few streets off. For temples and beaches, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 7.2 km away and Patong Beach 10.3 km.

A good day here starts with a morning walk through the old streets around Thalang Road, stopping at the museums and the Chinese-style shrines and temples along the way. In the afternoon, a taxi can take you to Wat Chalong or Patong Beach, and back in the old town the Sunday market is the place to eat in the evening. Because the old quarter is compact, a stroll between the museums and temples fits easily into a single afternoon.
