Looking for convenient accommodation in Phuket? Ping recommends 'Proud Phuket'! It's located near Nai Yang Beach and Phuket Airport, within walking distance. The hotel boasts beautiful colonial-style decor with subtle Phuket influences incorporated throughout. The emphasis is on white, orange, and elegant patterns. However, what Ping loved most was the menu of drinks, desserts, and local Phuket cuisine, which is hard to find in other hotels.
Getting There
- The hotel is located just 1.5 kilometers from Phuket Airport.
- Guests can choose to walk, take a taxi, or use the hotel's shuttle service.
- Nai Yang Beach is less than 500 meters from the hotel.
- Guests can walk, cycle, or take the hotel's songthaew (local shared taxi) to the beach.
Accommodation Rates
- The hotel offers 6 different room types.
- As of the latest check, the starting price is approximately 2,600 THB per room per night.
- This price is for a Superior Pool View room and may vary depending on the season.

Upon entering the lobby, one is immediately struck by the stunning contrast of white and orange. The open-air design allows for excellent ventilation, while the highlight is undoubtedly the intricate phoenix-shaped ceiling, symbolizing sacrifice.

This time, I stayed in the Superior Pool Access room, which is 33 square meters in size. The best part about this room is that you can open the door and jump straight into the pool! Haha. Inside, there is a king-size bed and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower. The decor is the same as the rest of the hotel, with white, orange, and soft lighting. The flower design above the bed is inspired by the Phuket frangipani flower. : )
It's time to explore the common areas! Starting from the central courtyard of the hotel, or Proud Court, which is quite spacious. There are places to sit and relax, both indoors and outdoors. It connects to the dining room, fitness center, and Pool Bar. Let's take a walk around!
Next, we have Ang Ku Tea House, a tea house
located in front of the hotel. They offer a variety of beverages, desserts,
Thai food, and local Phuket cuisine. You don't have to be a guest at
'Proud Phuket' to enjoy their services.
The shop is beautiful and inviting, open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
When visiting a tea house, ordering a tea set is a must. However, to align with the hotel's concept, we opted for the Peranakan Afternoon set, which features local desserts such as tau sar piah, kueh kosui, ang ku kueh, pau luang, pla soh leng, and fresh popiah.
My personal favorite was the hotel's own fusion creation, the Prawn Puff, which combines tau sar piah, Phuket pineapple, and ang ku kueh. This sweet and fragrant pastry is served with orange and honey-flavored tea. The set costs 650 baht and is enough for two people, making it a filling and satisfying meal.
This is English Afternoon Tea
Includes cakes, croissants, cookies, brownies, etc.
Price 490 baht per set.
The order was placed solely on the basis of its aesthetic appeal and photogenic qualities, without any consideration for its impact on the stomach.
The combination of tea and coffee raises concerns about the possibility of sleep deprivation.
Additional information:
- Teh o kosong: Hot milk tea
- Teh o: Hot tea with sugar
- Kopi o kosong: Hot coffee with milk
- Kopi o: Hot black coffee
Next up is Nyonya Spa, a spa with a vibrant yellow and orange color scheme. Just stepping inside will leave you feeling refreshed. They offer a variety of services, including Thai massage, oil massage, scrub massage, facial massage, and milk bath. You can find more information on their website: https://www.proudphuket.com/. They currently have a promotion starting at 600 baht per hour, which is very reasonable compared to other hotels.
Although we come here to relax, customers still follow up on their work.
Therefore, this room is very important and necessary, which is
Zhuang Yuan Reading Room
There is a space for reading books, a table for working,
and a free Macbook for use.
Open from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Come on!
In the evenings, a night market sets up near the hotel. Locals come to stroll, find food, and shop. The hotel staff recommended it, so we decided to check it out. Since we were already there, we wanted to soak up the atmosphere.
The evening has arrived. Let's take a ride to the beach to enjoy the cool breeze.
The songthaew, a traditional Phuket public transportation, is waiting for us in front of our accommodation.
We can request to be taken to Nai Yang Beach without any additional charges.
A short drive brought us to Nai Yang Beach. This beach is quite shady, with plenty of trees, as it is located within a national park. There are a few restaurants and massage parlors inside, but we just came to take a walk, enjoy the breeze, and wait for the sunset.
After watching the sunset, we returned to the Ang Ku tea room. We had a large seafood dinner there, where the price was based on the weight of the order.
Yai Yai Kitchen: A Taste of Home
The scene shifts to Yai Yai Kitchen, a breakfast restaurant where "Yai" signifies "grandmother," evoking a sense of home-cooked meals. The restaurant's ambiance is warm and inviting, reminiscent of a grandmother's loving touch. It features both indoor and outdoor seating, with walls adorned by auspicious lotus flowers and other auspicious plants. The color scheme remains consistent with the rest of the establishment, featuring white and orange hues.
The food selection is diverse, offering Thai, Western, and local dishes. For those who crave egg-based dishes, there is a dedicated counter. However, don't miss out on the must-try dishes: braised pork, stir-fried rice noodles with crab curry, and shrimp paste chili dip.
This is a simple paragraph with no content.
After breakfast, let's explore other parts of the hotel. Starting with the fitness center, it's a small gym located next to the swimming pool. It offers basic exercise equipment for guests to stay in shape.

You can bring your child to this room. :D
Behind the hotel, there is a flower bed with various trees. Orchids and other flowering plants are grown there. If you see flowers used for decoration around the hotel, or as table decorations, they are likely from this flower bed.

The rest is the atmosphere around the accommodation. I don't know where to put it, so I'll put it at the end of the review.
The two-day, one-night stay at Proud Phuket was fantastic. This hotel caters to all ages and groups, whether you're with friends, family, or a significant other. The hotel's proximity to the airport and Nai Yang Beach is a major plus. The decor effectively conveys the concept, and the facilities are comprehensive and reasonably priced. It's definitely worth a visit!
