Transportation around Phuket can be challenging, especially during peak seasons when traffic and crowds can be heavy. Taxis, tuk-tuks, and scooters are the most common modes of transportation, but be sure to negotiate prices with drivers. For longer distances, a private driver or minivan can be a comfortable and convenient option, although prices can be steep. Plan ahead and budget accordingly for travel costs.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to the nearby islands of James Bond Island, Similan Islands, or Racha Islands, offering breathtaking beaches and natural scenery.
If you have less time, skip attractions that do not interest you or spend fewer days at each destination. Plan ahead and prioritize activities to make the most of your time in Phuket.
