Rak Elegant Hotel Patong is on Nanai Road in Patong, a busy resort town on the west coast of Phuket, where hotels, bars and restaurants line the streets close to the sea. Patong Beach is 1.1 km away, and the area stays lively into the evening, which suits guests who want nightlife and easy access to shops.

Jungceylon Shopping Center is 600 m away, and Bangla Road, the best-known nightlife street in town, is 900 m away. Banzaan Fresh Market (Night) is a food market 400 m from the hotel, so street food and evening stalls are close by. Pharmacies, convenience stores and fresh markets are within a few hundred metres of the hotel, and the Patong Boxing Stadium, where Muay Thai bouts take place, is close by. Phuket FantaSea, a cultural theme park with an evening show, is one of the better-known attractions nearby.

A good day out is to see the Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop 7.4 km away, and then Wat Chalong, one of the island's most important temples. Back in Patong, the evening can be spent on Bangla Road or at the night market, with Patong Beach close enough for a relaxed walk along the sand.
