A Phuket to Ride

Hit the road to explore Thailand’s holiday island of Phuket....

What are the attractions of Phuket?  Golden sandy beaches, bargain-basement shopping and vibrant nightlife: yes, but don’t forget the royal wildlife reserve, the mysterious half-buried Buddha or the stage show featuring thirty live elephants.  

In Thailand you don’t always think of taking the wheel, thanks to unpredictable traffic, inscrutable road laws and readily-available transport alternatives, but in the kingdom’s most-visited island there are quite a few sights you might never discover any other way.  

There’s no rush to get anywhere, except perhaps to and from the airport at the northern tip of this 810-square kilometre island.  For two or more, especially, four wheels are better and far less hazardous than two.
