Patong is one of Phuket's best-known beach towns, with a lively mix of restaurants, bars and shops behind the sand, and it draws travellers who want the beach, shopping and evening entertainment in one place. The Gig Hotel is 600 m from Patong Beach and 150 m from Jungceylon Shopping Center, so the sand and the shops are close by. Many of the restaurants and bars are along the beach road, and the streets stay lively into the evening.

Bangla Road, the street of bars and clubs, is 400 m from the hotel, and Banzaan Fresh Market, a night market, is nearby. For a change of scene, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 6.5 km away, and the large Big Buddha statue stands on a hilltop near Chalong. Phuket's night markets add stalls and food to the evening.

Kata Beach and Karon Beach offer other stretches of sand along the island's coast, and Phuket FantaSea is a theme park with an evening show. Phuket International Airport is 24.3 km away, and the hotel's pool and spa make a quiet place to rest between excursions. A full day can combine the beach with a visit to the temple or the Big Buddha, and a return to the pool in the afternoon.
