How can I ensure my motorbike is safe for riding in Phuket?

Before hitting the road, it's crucial to give your motorbike a thorough inspection. Start by checking the tire pressure and tread, as well as the brakes and lights to ensure everything is functioning properly.

• Also, don't forget to check the fuel level! Riding with an empty tank can lead to unexpected stops. If you're renting, always choose a reputable company that maintains its bikes well.

Stay aware of surroundings, keep valuables secure and use reputable transport and booking channels. Treat urgent payment requests, unusually cheap offers and pressure to surrender original documents as warning signs.
