Phuket Town is a lively and unique destination many may not have realized when they book their trip to this paradise island of Phuket.

Our Recommendation on Getting Around Phuket
1. Renting a car - recommended if you're traveling in groups. Rentals usually start at THB 1,500 per day.
2. Renting a motorbike - recommended if you have experience riding a motorbike in Thailand and familiar with the roads.
3. Taxis and Grab - recommended for groups of 3-4, you can hail taxis all around town, though most of them will not be metered and you'll have to negotiate a fare with them. If you want a fair price, we recommend downloading Grab (a ride-hailing app) on to your mobile device.

Your packing checklist
Beach Essentials - don't forget your SPF! Thailand's sun is bright and strong. You'd want a tan, but not sunburn! A beach towel might also come in handy if you don't want to rent the beach lounges along the beaches. And of course, don't forget your swimsuit!
Chargers - Thailand operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz. Check the plug types here: https://rb.gy/er1sqb. If you happen to forget, you can find charges in convenience stores and malls around town.
Comfortable clothes and sandals - it's hot and humid out here, so don't bother bringing your jackets and sweaters!
