The provincial library on Phuket Road near the old bus terminal has fast free wifi, comfortable seating, and blessed air conditioning. Perfect escape when you need to work without paying Central Plaza cafe prices.

Open 8am-8pm weekdays, shorter hours weekends. Registration requires passport but it's completely free. They stock English newspapers and magazines if you want to catch up on world news between planning.

University students use it as study space so the atmosphere stays focused and peaceful. Way better than trying to work from noisy coffee shops on Bangla Road where music blasts constantly.

Take the pink songthaew around Phuket Town center (15 baht) to reach the library from any hotel. The building is directly across from the weekend night market area on Sithat Road.
