Khao Rang Hill in Phuket Town is located not far from Tesco Lotus, and if you are coming on the road from Patong Beach, it's easy to find it, just follow the road that goes past the Bangkok Phuket Hospital, continue on that road, you will eventually come to a 4way crossing, where you should turn right, and then look for a road that goes up the hill on the right side, not very far from the crossing. There should be a sign there so you won't miss it. The drive up the hill is quite nice, and there is a few good viewpoints on the way up. The viewpoint offer a view of Phuket Town, and the southern parts of the island, all the way to the Big Buddha. On the way up you will also pass Wat Khao Rang, that features one of Phuket's first sitting Buddha images.

Phukets songthaews are larger than those found in other areas of Thailand. They travel between the town and beaches.
