Ming Shou Boutique House

Twelve rooms in a shophouse-style guesthouse on Krabi Road, Ming Shou Boutique House occupies Phuket Town's heritage quarter, a short walk from Thalang Road's Sino-Portuguese shopfronts and the Sunday Walking Street market.

Rooms are tile-floored and fitted with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms, and sitting areas; breakfast can be delivered to the door rather than taken in a shared dining room. Upper floors are stairs-only, worth noting for guests with heavy luggage. Family rooms are available on request.

Krabi Road connects directly to the town's central fresh market and the TAT tourist office. Patong Beach is roughly 45 minutes by songthaew; the Phuket Bus Terminal is under ten minutes on foot.
