Phuket is a
trendy and popular destination to visit in Thailand. When you land in Thailand,
the first place you find yourself in would be Phuket only as there is the
international airport. Shopping streets, old Phuket Town, beautiful beaches of
nearby town Patong are major attractions for tourists.
If you are
also planning to visit Thailand especially Phuket, then read through this blog
to get some ideas which would help you plan out your trip.
Accommodation
It is my
personal advice for you to book your hotels in advance as you’d be confused and
get into a panic situation if you turn up in Phuket without any reserved hotel
or lodge. Moreover, you can’t be sure you’d get the room as you never know when
the hotels get full with tourists and there would be no room left, you may end
up settling down with one of the cheap or unpleasant hotels, miles away from the
main town and popular spots.
The other
thing I was concerned about is the price, if you book a place in advance, it
costs you less as you get pre-booking discount also there would be no more
headache of finding and booking a hotel which saves much time.
Transport
There are
numerous transport options like taxis, local buses, tuk-tuks, limousine taxis,
private limousine, and car rental services. The best kind of local travel
experience you can get is by getting a car on rent in Phuket. There are many
benefits of getting a car on rent for local travel. You can enjoy the smooth
ride of the car on the roads that simultaneously go along the shore-side of
incredibly beautiful beaches.
You’d be
driving on your own so there would be no terror to sit on the back seat and fear
the driver’s driving skills. You can go wherever you want. If you take taxis
from one place to another then another and then another, you’d be paying a big
amount, on the other hand, you can fill the tank of the rented car and take it
wherever you want.
A tourist
should always read all the terms and conditions of any Phuket
car rent service provider before booking. You’d need to ensure that
the car is insured and equipped with emergency and safety measures such as a
small fire extinguisher, an extra tire, and other additional tools etc.
Prices in
tourist places like Phuket fluctuate very often. There’s nothing like the cheapest
or the most expensive car would be the best. You’d first need to analyze the
car’s condition and company, if you feel like the car is good, proceed with
asking the rent, if you find the mentioned rental price is reasonable then you
may proceed to book the car according to your budget and comfort.
A beautiful
trip to Phuket is always recommended by many. While roaming around in an
unknown country, our security and safety are in our hands. We should always be
aware and ready to be on our own. Traveling around in a private rental car is
much safer than traveling in taxis.
