The Memory at On On Hotel

The "The Beach" Heritage Icon

Stay in a piece of history. This was the first hotel ever built in Phuket (opened in 1929) and was famously featured in the movie The Beach (as the gritty Bangkok hostel). Today, it has been beautifully renovated into a chic, affordable boutique hotel. The Sino-Portuguese architecture, with its intricate tiles and open courtyards, is stunning. It’s located in the heart of Phuket Old Town, perfect for culture lovers who prefer cafes and art over neon lights.

Opening Time: 24-hour reception.

Location: 19 Phang-Nga Road, Talad Yai (Old Town).

How to get there:

From Phuket Old Town Walking Street: It is just one street over! A 2-minute walk from the Sunday Walking Street market.

Taxi: Tell the driver, "On On Hotel, Old Town" (Near the Shrine of the Serene Light).
