    Getting TO/AROUND: Tuk Tuk are the most common public transport in Phuket. They are everywhere, very easy to get. It would be better for short journey, cuz it would be quite bumpy and uncomfortable for a long travel, and some of them don't have back door... *Remember to negotiate the price before u get on the tuk tuk.

    Another way to get around is to get a taxi. If you want to go around the island for the whole day, u can book a taxi, it only costed me 1200 bahts for a whole day taxi and the drivers will take you to where you would like to go. They would even give some shopping and dining recommandations, some of the recommandations were nice, but some are just normal tourists shopping spots, it's all up to you if you want to go, they wont force it~ again, price is negotiatable.
    All of the tuk tuk and taxi drivers i met were all very nice and friendly, so don't worry.
