'Mode': AROUND

Getting TO/AROUND: Getting around Phuket on a motorbike is a must!!
Not only is it convenient, it is also very affordable starting from Baht150 / Day for a Moped. I had a great time going around Phuket in the 2 days I rented the bike. Phuket is a nice size for covering and it is quite easy getting around as the network of road is fairly simple connecting major towns and directions to each place before the junctions.
Be advised that though I had a great time riding in Phuket, the roads in Phuket at some parts might be windy and up and down some steep terrain so do exercise caution and some areas it is only 2 lanes so again be careful when overtaking or when being overtaken.
When renting the bike, the shop might request that you leave your passport with them. A better option would be to leave a photocopy of your passport with them or the most your driver's licence. They might also request that you leave a deposit with them but do decline as you might not see the deposit when you return with the bike and coax them to accept the photocopy of the passport. If they seem unwilling, you can always try the next shop.
If you are renting for 2 days or more, you should be able to get a better deal so do negotiate on the price before settling on renting the motorbike.
