The property is one apartment of 90 m², with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping up to four guests. It has a full kitchen, air conditioning, free WiFi, satellite and cable channels and a TV, and toiletries and a hair dryer are provided.

Air conditioning, internet access and free WiFi round out the practical side of the property, and the kitchen fittings cover everyday cooking needs.

Patak Soi 12 is in Karon, a long sandy beach area on the Phuket coast that feels calmer than the nightlife of Patong. The side streets off the main road hold guesthouses, apartments and small shops, and the beach road has street-food stalls and small restaurants, so the apartment's kitchen is handy for quieter evenings.

Karon Beach is a short walk from the apartment. Kata Beach, the next bay along, is 1.1 km away, and the Phuket Big Buddha, a large white seated Buddha on a hilltop, is 1.4 km away. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is 4.3 km away and is one of the island's most important temples, and Patong Beach, with its nightlife and Bangla Road, is 6.2 km away.

Getting around Phuket is easiest by car, taxi or songthaew, and Phuket International Airport is 31.1 km away. A good day could begin with a swim at Karon Beach, continue with a visit to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, and finish with dinner at Kata Beach. Patong's nightlife is a drive away for an evening out. Karon is a practical base for a day of sightseeing in the south of the island, with the beach, the temples and the shopping all within a short drive of one another.
