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.
