A Quiet Pool Hotel Near Central Phuket
Park 38 Hotel, previously known as Baan Suan Place, is a renovated three-star property on Bangyai Road in the Wichit area, a short walk from Central Festival Phuket and Big C. The hotel sits in a leafy residential setting with a pool, garden and tropical greenery, offering a calm contrast to the shopping and commercial activity directly around it.
Location
Park 38 Hotel is on Bangyai Road, Wichit, 10 minutes’ walk from Central Festival Phuket and directly adjacent to Big C Phuket. Phuket Town is 3.9 km east. Patong Beach is 10.6 km west. Phuket International Airport is 30 minutes by car. Bangkok Hospital Siriroj is next door, making the hotel a practical choice for guests visiting the area for medical appointments or accompanying patients.
Atmosphere
The hotel is a calm, green pocket within walking distance of one of Phuket’s busiest commercial areas. The outdoor pool, garden and tree cover give the property a more relaxed feel than the surrounding streetscape would suggest. It accommodates both short stays and monthly rentals, which gives it a steady long-term guest presence alongside tourists. The combination of greenery, pool and quiet location makes it a practical base for guests prioritising Phuket Town over beach access.
The Rooms
Three room categories are available, with the Superior Room at 40 sqm and the Deluxe Room at 44 sqm. All rooms have balconies with seating, air conditioning, satellite TV, free WiFi, refrigerator, mosquito net, hot shower and complimentary toiletries. The décor uses warm wood accents and natural tones. Both daily and monthly rates are offered. A kids’ club is planned as a future addition.
Restaurants and Dining
There is no on-site restaurant at Park 38 Hotel. A coffee shop, Yes Coffee, is one minute’s walk from the entrance. KFC and several local Thai restaurants are within a four-minute walk. Central Festival Phuket’s food court and restaurant floors are a 10-minute walk and offer a wide range of dining options for all budgets. Phuket Town’s local restaurant scene is a short drive or ride-share away.
Insider Tips
The Deluxe Room at 44 sqm represents good value for the extra space, particularly for guests staying more than a few nights. Monthly rate guests should confirm inclusions in advance, as the rate structure differs from the nightly booking terms. Central Festival Phuket is walkable at night for shopping and dining, which removes the need for transport on most evenings.
Through the Years
The property originally opened as Baan Suan Place before being rebranded and renovated as Park 38 Hotel. The renovation introduced contemporary décor with wooden accents and updated bathrooms throughout, repositioning the property from a guesthouse into a small modern hotel. Monthly rental accommodation has been a feature of the property since the rebrand.
