phuket: best transportation around

if you'll walk along kata road, you will notice a lot of boards displaying taxi fares on corresponding places you want to visit.

on our third day, we wanted to visit the big buddha and wat chalong. the taxi fare going there is 800 to 1000 baht. but one thing that catched my eyes were some tourist driving motorbikes with their helmets on. we've learned that the hotel were staying have motorbikes for rent ;)

they don't require any driver's license, well of course at your own risk, as long as your a guest. and guess what?!? it's only 250 baht for the whole day rental, that is 12 hours, plus the fuel.

ride of the day

so, if you could just drive and brave enough to go along with the traffic around phuket, rent a bike and save some for shopping or yummy thai food... 

thailand drives on the left side of the road, so if you come from a place that drives on the other side, be reminded! you could be driving on the wrong side, but don't worry locals understand...
