Lamai Hotel sits in Patong, Phuket's best-known beach resort, with Patong Beach about 350 m away, a long sandy strip lined with hotels and beach bars.The streets around the hotel are busy and lively, and Bangla Road, the area's nightlife street, is close by. The Jungceylon shopping centre is also nearby, and the night market and street-food stalls give the area a constant buzz after dark. The setting puts the beach and the nightlife close at hand.

Beyond the beach strip, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 6.5 km from the hotel, and it is one of the best-known temples on the island. The Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 7.2 km away, and Kalim Beach offers a quieter stretch of sand a short drive from Patong. Kata Beach is further south along the coast, and Phuket FantaSea, a large cultural show and dining complex, is also in the area.

Phuket International Airport is 24.6 km away, and the hotel is reached by road from there. A good day could start with the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong in the morning, then return to Patong for the beach and an evening on Bangla Road. Taxis and car hire can cover the longer trips.
