How can I get around Phuket without a car?

Getting around Phuket is quite manageable even if you don't have a car. For short distances, tuk-tuks are a popular option. They are easy to find and can be a fun way to experience the local vibe.

• You can also use ride-hailing apps like Grab, which operate similarly to Uber and are very convenient for getting from one place to another without the hassle of negotiating fares.

• If you're feeling adventurous, consider renting a scooter. It's a common way for travelers to explore the island at their own pace, but make sure you have a valid license and wear a helmet.

Allow extra time for traffic and weather. Confirm the specific service on the day, agree prices or use an app where practical, and keep screenshots of bookings and pickup details.
