Whether you desire to venture out and explore the nearby islands off Phuket, or simply cruise around the local beaches, hiring your own private long-tail boat is definitely the most relaxing mode of transport to get around the island.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional Thai-style long-tail boats can be found <strong>parked on the sands of almost every beach<\/strong> in Phuket. To hire one for the day, simply tell the boat driver what you want to do and where you want to go. You will then have to negotiate a suitable price with the driver, which is usually dependant on the time of year you visit (high or low season), the distance you want to travel, and the amount of time you will need his services. Where you are going to is beautiful, but the journey there is a fun experience on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Villa Finder&#8217;s Tip: Remember to wear a life jacket. If you don&#8217;t see it on the boat, do ask the driver about it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Karon_Viewpoint_and_Lookout\"><\/span>4.

The best way to experience everything Phuket has to offer is to hire a scooter and explore the island for yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are countless Buddhist Temples, lookouts, local restaurants and unique experiences to be had in all corners of Phuket. And Phuket is one of the most welcoming and safest tourist destinations in all of Asia. So you don\u2019t ever need to be scared or intimidated to take those ominous looking side-streets and alleyways while exploring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you hire one, it&#8217;s worth knowing that Thai law requires an international driving permit with a motorcycle category to legally rent and ride a scooter. Many rental shops won&#8217;t ask for it, but without one your travel or rental insurance may not cover you if something goes wrong \u2014 so it&#8217;s worth sorting out before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.villa-finder.com\/getting-around-phuket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Transportation in Phuket: Buses, Cars, Scooters.

However, a walk around the bustling streets of Phuket Old Town is certainly something you should try to experience while in Phuket. Especially on weekend evenings when the main street is closed to traffic and numerous local street buskers and food stalls start to appear. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The centre of Phuket Old-Town consists of a local fruit and vegetable market, which operates at all times of the day and night selling fresh fruit and vegetables to both wandering tourists and local restaurant owners. Around the local market, you will also find a myriad of shops selling a vast range of items such as souvenirs and the finest Thai silks, at some of the most reasonable prices to be found anywhere in Phuket. So if you are looking for a good deal on shopping, make sure you visit Phuket Old-Town.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Family_Fun_at_Andamanda_Phuket_Water_Park\"><\/span>11.
