Most of the beach resorts, restaurants and shopping areas in Phuket are located close to the beach and are very close together, so getting around Phuket is easy. However there are many other mediums of getting around this exotic area, if walking is just not your thing. The most popular way to get around other than walking is by Tuk Tuk .
Tuk Tuk rides are fun and rather cheap. This is a great for short distance travel. Although a ride as long as 30 minutes will be rather uncomfortable. It’s bumpy and dusty. It’s always advisable to agree on a price with the tuk tuk drivers before the ride. Put your bargaining skills to practice and you should be able to agree on a reasonable rate with them.
There is an extreme disregard for traffic in Thailand and unexpected and dangerous motorists could cause you trouble. During the rainy season it might not be a very good idea to take a tuk tuk as the roads are slippery and prices are seemingly high. Apart from the obvious inconveniences Tuk Tuks are a fun and easy way to explore the island and will get you even to the most difficult areas in the island for a few extra bucks. Red and yellow are the usual colours of these rides.
If you are looking for a Phuket Resort to spend your days while in this gorgeous island, there are plenty of Phuket Beach Resorts to choose from. However if you are looking for a relaxing getaway in luxury surroundings with an authentic Thai touch to it , Anantara Phuket Resort Thailand will be just right for you. If your idea of relaxing is a bit of heavenly pampering as you gaze at the natural splendour that this island boasts of, then look no further than this gorgeous resort.
Although the Tuk Tuk is convenient and could be found at any given time on the island, other methods of travel are available. If some prior planning goes in to your journey, taxi cars and bikes as well as car rentals can be arranged easily.
