The warm tropical climate, the natural beauty of the island and the climbing roads on the mountain slopes, they make Phuket a natural destination for cruising around on a motorbike.
Motorbikes are the most common mode of transportation on the island.
Motorcycle taxi drivers can be found waiting for passengers on roadsides in Patong, Phuket Town, and most of the busier intersections around the island. Recognizable by white numbers on green shirts, these motorbike taxis go everywhere - very fast, if there is a need. If you want to rent a motorbike yourself, shops with that service are spreading everywhere. But you have to take caution, since insurance is not available on any rental motorbike. If it is damaged or stolen you will have to pay its replacement plus any property damage or injuries caused to others.
