The Light House at Town sits on Montri Road in Phuket Town, the historic town on the island, close to the Talat Yai district. Streets of Sino-Portuguese shophouses, small museums and temples make up the neighbourhood, a city base for anyone who wants local life rather than the sand.

Several sights are within a short distance: the Phuket Trickeye Museum, a 3D art museum, is 250 m away, and the Lard Yai Sunday Night Market is 350 m away. Wat Khao Rang Samakkhitham stands on a hill above the town, and the Phuket Old Town is close by. Patong Beach is 10.7 km away, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong) is 7.5 km away, and Phuket International Airport is 26.8 km away by road. The Phuket Town local bus station is nearby for getting around.

A good day here starts with a walk through the Old Town's shophouses and a visit to the Trickeye Museum, then a climb up Khao Rang hill for views over the town. In the evening, the Sunday night market in Lard Yai draws crowds with street food and local goods. The beaches of Patong and Kata are a drive away, so plan them as a separate day.
