Complete Guide to Phuket for Visitors

Every corner of Phuket from a rider's perspective

Route planning

Base yourself in Patong, Kata, or Karon for south Phuket loops. Allow extra time for photos, food stops, and ferry connections when islands are involved.

Must-see areas

  • Viewpoints: Promthep, Karon, Samet Nangshe (Phang Nga)
  • Beaches: Freedom, Nai Harn, Bang Tao
  • Culture: Old Phuket Town, Wat Chalong

Riding notes

Mountain roads to Phang Nga and Krabi are scenic but winding — ride in daylight, check fuel, and carry IDP at all times.
