Sound Gallery House Phuket Town stands in Phuket Town, the historic core of the island, where Sino-Portuguese shophouses line narrow streets and temples, shrines and old merchant houses sit close together. Several Chinese shrines and temples stand within a few hundred metres of the hostel, so walks through the streets pass many of them. Chinpracha House, an old Sino-Portuguese mansion, is among the heritage buildings nearby, and the district suits visitors who want old streets and museums more than a beach holiday.

Phuket Old Town and Thalang Road are 900 m away, and the Peranakan Museum, which shows Peranakan culture, and the Thavorn Phuket Museum are also nearby. Wat Chalong, one of the island's most revered temples, lies 6.4 km away, and Patong Beach, the island's best-known beach resort area, is 9.5 km away, for those who want the sea and its nightlife.

A day can start at the Sanjao Sam San temple, 250 m away, then move on to the museums and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market in the evening. A cooking class at the Blue Elephant Phuket Cooking School fits well with a day among the old streets. Phuket International Airport is 26.6 km away, so the first part of a stay is a road transfer from the airport.
