Phuket, the Pearl of the Andaman Sea, is Thailand's largest island and a traveller's paradise. With lush landscapes, white sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters paired with a vibrant nightlife and rich culture, there's something for everyone in Phuket.

Getting Around with a Rental Car

With various locations spread around the island, getting a car hire is probably the most convenient way to explore Phuket. When comparing prices, remember to check if insurance is included, as well as the fuel policy.

Driving Differences

Keep in mind, you'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road, just like back home. However, traffic here can be a little more hectic, so it's important to stay alert. Also, make sure to carry your international driving licence at all times.

Attractions in Phuket

Phuket Old Town

A visit to Phuket isn't complete without a stroll in the Old Town. Immerse yourself in the areas unique blend of colonial and Chinese architecture.

Beaches

Phuket is famous for its stunning beaches. Patong, Karon and Kata are some of the most popular, but rent a car and explore some lesser-known gems too. Please note that smoking and drinking are forbidden on all Thailand beaches.

Climate

Phuket enjoys a tropical monsoon climate with warm temperatures throughout the year, peaking during March and April.

Currency

The currency is Thai Baht (THB). Try to keep small notes on you as taxi drivers and street vendors often have difficulty breaking large bills.

Lively festivals are an integral part of Thai culture. Loi Krathong, the Festival of Lights, and Songkran, the Thai New Year, are not-to-miss events.
