Lotus House@phuket

The whole apartment is let as one, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and air conditioning, and it sleeps up to five guests. Bedding is offered as a choice of bed set-ups.

Because the whole apartment is booked as one, the three bedrooms and two bathrooms are for the group staying in it, and the air conditioning is part of its own equipment.

Air conditioning is the general facility of the property, and the apartment includes it in its own equipment. Beyond that, the stay centres on the apartment itself, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and space for up to five guests.

The apartment sits in Phuket Town, where the old quarter, the markets and the museums are a short walk away.

Lotus House@phuket sits in Phuket Town, the commercial and administrative centre of Phuket island, where the old quarter keeps its Sino-Portuguese shophouses, Chinese shrines and museums. This is a district for travellers who want to explore on foot, with markets and food stalls close by, rather than spend every day on the beach.

Phuket Old Town is 650 m from the apartment, and the Peranakan Museum and Lard Yai Sunday Night Market are close by on the same walk. The island's most revered temple, Wat Chalong, is 6.6 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 26.8 km from the apartment and can be reached by road. Wat Kajorn Rangsan, the Thye Guan Tong Shrine and the Blue Elephant Phuket Cooking School are all a short walk from the apartment, so the old quarter's temples and cooking classes are easy to reach.

A good day starts in the old town, with its museums and shophouse lanes, and then goes on to Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach. Big Buddha Phuket, a hilltop statue overlooking the island, is a worthwhile stop for the views. Phuket is linked to the mainland by bridge, so getting around by road is straightforward, although the island is large.
