Getting TO/AROUND: It's cheap to rent a car. Will cost you as little as £8 a day. But it's a good idea espcially if you want to get to some of the more out of the way places, and some of the less touristy spots.

Getting TO/AROUND: Tuk tuks are named because of the sound of their engine, these are motorcycle 2-stroke engines. They are popular amongst tourists for their novelty value. In Phuket, they tend to be small vans instead of 3-wheeled rickshaws. You should bargain with the driver before getting in. If not you may end up paying too much. The downside is they only tend to go to the really touristy places like Soi Bangla.

Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: There is a daytime bus service (songthaew) to most parts of the island. Songthaew (means two rows) which refers to the two wooden benches that run down each side of this colorful wooden-body public transport vehicle. All buses run on a loop route between a beach location like Patong and back to the songthaew stop on Ranong Road in Phuket Town. I've never seen a bus as packed as one of these . . . with people hanging out. This was during rush hour one morning and it was packed with people going to work. These buses don't seem to be too popular with tourists.

Thailand is on my dream list for many reasons, not the least of which is elephants. At least their owners have a good reason to keep them & take good care of them hopefully! | beaniezotzim Wed May 11, 2005 01:02 UTC
nice page. THANKS for being honest about your feelings on the elephant ride, I felt the same way! | filipdebont Sat Mar 26, 2005 11:12 UTC
I fully agree, Phangna is just great. we also stopped in the floating restaurant to eat delisious sea food. |
