Na Siam Guesthouse is on Yaowarat Road in Phuket Town, the island's provincial capital, in an old quarter of Sino-Portuguese shophouses, small museums and temples. The streets around the guesthouse are lined with colourful old houses, and the area feels very different from the beach resorts on the island, so it works well for anyone who wants to see the town itself. A Family Mart convenience store and an ATM are close by, and a pharmacy is nearby.

Phuket Old Town is a short walk away, and the Phuket Thai Hua School, a museum on the island's Chinese community, is 100 m from the guesthouse. Chaithararam Temple, also known as Wat Chalong, is 7.1 km away and is one of the island's most revered temples. Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach, is 10.2 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 26.6 km away.

A day here can begin with a walk through the old town and a visit to the Phuket Thai Hua School, then move to the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market for street food and local goods in the evening. The old town is compact enough to see on foot in an afternoon, and its streets are lively after dark. For the beaches and Wat Chalong, a car or a taxi is the easier option, and the local bus station is nearby for onward journeys.
