Top Local Tips for Phuket

Rent a motorbike, just be careful! I can't think of a funner way to explore the west coast of Phuket! Warning, unlike the northern parts of Thailand, in Phuket you must wear a helmet even if you are the only rider. We were not, and were pulled over. Finding the police station and paying the six dollar fine was actually a lot of fun. We were there in September, and it was not crowded at all.

Best Way to Tour around Phuket I would like to recommend tourist to rent a car to tour around Phuket. The roads in the island is narrow and winding. I rent a Honda Jazz during my stay at Phuket at RM90 per day with Thai CarRent.
