Patong is the busiest beach town on Phuket, a long bay where the beach, street stalls, massage shops and restaurants keep going well into the evening. The beach is 750 m from the hotel, and the street stalls and massage shops along the beach road keep the evenings busy.

Jungceylon Shopping Center is 1.5 km away, and Bangla Road, the street where Patong's bars and clubs are concentrated, is at the same distance. Chaithararam Temple, better known as Wat Chalong, is one of Phuket's most visited temples and lies 6 km away, while the Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop, is 6.2 km away. Both are reached by road and make a change from a day on the sand, with the hilltop views at the Big Buddha a highlight.

A day could start on Patong Beach, continue with a visit to Wat Chalong or the Big Buddha, and end with a walk through the Dragon Night Market or a drink in the bars of Bangla Road. A stay of a few days lets you see both the temples and the beach at a relaxed pace. Freedom Beach, a secluded cove reached from Patong, offers a quieter alternative to the busy town beach.
