Overview

Sawas-Dee ( welcome ) to Phuket Backpacker. We are centrally located in the bustling heart of Phuket Town. A town rich with Thai culture & history.

We offer a home away from home. With our newly renovated property we offer our guests clean & comfortable accommodation set in a contemporary boutique Chinese Asian fusion style.

Phuket is more than just beaches of which we have plenty ! Phuket town is rich with architectural gems from Classic Chino-Portuguese homes, Wats ( Thai temples ) & Chinese shrines etc..

As a predominantly Buddhist culture you will find Buddhism cymbals in most every day lives. Every Buddhist home will have not only a small alter at which to pray, but a Spirit House which protects the home from evil sprits. One of the most charming sights for a Farang (foreigner ) is to wake early morning & watch the Monks clad in saffron colour robes walk the streets bare foot looking for donations of breakfast.

On top of the architecture & Religious aspects of Phuket town you can get a real taste of Thai local life take a slow walk around the central market & watch the world go by from many of the roadside coffee shops.

Then we have our beautiful beaches, amongst the best in the world reach. From the tourist hot spot of Patong beach to the more remote & less trodden beaches of Cape Panwa - All within easy reach as the central bus terminal is only 2 mins walk from our property fares start from only Bht 20.

After a busy day sight seeing kick back & relax, make yourself comfortable in our comfortable lounge, discuss your days adventures & exchange life stories with fellow backpackers from around the globe.

So if you are looking for a real slice of Thai life in a cost effective comfortable surrounding then look no further than Phuket Back Packers its our sincere pleasure to welcome you with Traditional Thai grace.

Location & Transportation

  DirectionsHOW TO GET HERE ?
Please find below directions on how to get to us.

Please note option # 2. Phuket is a island of entrepreneurs and as such
many of these will use any means in order to take your tourist dollar
some of these operators use unscrupulous methods in order to do this.

If you opt for option # 2 please be firm with the driver where you want to
go else they will try and stop off at various points between the hotel
and the hostel in order to sell you products and services.. These drivers
are all on commission from the shops and will constantly try and sell you
something ! Please be firm and direct simply say no clearly and firmly
please do not be intimidated.

We hope you have a great journey and we look forward to seeing you soon

FROM THE PHUKET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

OPTION # 1

The most cost effective way is to hop on the Airport bus. Please note
that this bus departs from the DEPARTURE floor. The fare will be Bht
85.00.
On arrival at the Phuket central bus terminal we are only 10 mins walk
away or alternatively you could opt to jump on local bus # 1 ( green &
yellow colour which will cost you Bht 10.00... Then simply alight at
the Thai Airways central town office ( Tell the bus driver KARN BIN
THAI NAI TA - LARD -SOD in Thai ) - we are green building directly
opposite !

OPTION # 2

You could hop for a limousine transfer both shared and private - this is
expensive and in our opinion not worth the price. Furthermore as the
driver is on commission from the shops etc, he will endeavor to sell you
products and
services on- route - so be prepared to be seriously hassled ( sometimes
very frustratingly so ) please be firm but not rude.!



FROM THE CENTRAL BUS TERMINAL.

We are only 10 mins walk away or alternatively you could hop to jump on
local bus # 1 ( green & yellow colour ) which will cost you Bht 10.00...

green building directly opposite !

FROM ANY FERRY PORT.

Alight a local bus or Tuk Tuk ( local taxi ), Taxi motor bike.. and ask
to be taken to KARN BIN THAI NAI TA - LARD -SOD Thai words !
