Ma Doo Bua Stay is on Baandon-Cherngtalay Road in Thalang, within Bang Tao on Phuket’s west coast. The resort sits inland rather than directly on the beach: Bang Tao Beach is 4 km away and Layan Beach is 4.9 km away. The west coast runs through a string of bays, and Bang Tao is one of the calmer stretches, with villas and larger resorts around the Laguna complex. Laguna Golf Phuket is 3.4 km away and Blue Tree water park is 3.7 km away. The resort also has outdoor dining by the canal.

Phuket International Airport is 9.3 km from the resort, and an airport shuttle is available. The nearest named public-transport points are Mangrove Tree Thailand, 5.5 km away, and King Bus Like Exclusive, 6.1 km away. The property is on Baandon-Cherngtalay Road in inland Thalang, so trips to the beaches start from a roadside setting rather than the sand.

Wat Phra Nang Sang temple is 750 m away, Thalang Victory Monument is 1 km away, Thalang Victory Memorial Field is 1.1 km away, and Peranakan Museum is 1.4 km away. The temple provides a close religious visit. The monument commemorates Phuket heroines Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon, while the museum explores local Peranakan culture. Thalang Victory Memorial Field is another named outdoor stop.
