Queen On Street 2009 sits in Phuket Town, the island's main administrative centre, where the old quarter's Sino-Portuguese shophouses, museums and street food are packed into a few lanes. For travellers who want history and street food, rather than a beach-focused stay, the area is a natural choice. Much of the old town is best explored on foot.

Within 200 m are the Thavorn Phuket Museum and the Baba Phuket Museum, which tells the story of the Peranakan community, and the Phuket Walking Street on Thalang Road, where stalls and shops fill the evening. The Lard Yai Sunday night market is also close by. Further out, Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 7.1 km away, and Patong Beach is 10.4 km away.

A full day could start with the temples and museums of the old town, continue along Thalang Road in the evening, and end with a meal at the night market. Phuket International Airport is 26.9 km away, and the local bus station is nearby for getting around the town. Patong, with its restaurants and nightlife, is the place for a night out, while Big Buddha Phuket, a large statue on a hill, is a good route for a day trip.
