With CarPhuketRental, you can easily explore the entire island and see the best places in Phuket without any time or route restrictions. Here are some popular destinations and tips for self-drive trips:
1. South Coast – Beaches and Sunsets
Start your trip from Kata or Karon Beach, then head to Promthep Cape – one of the most famous sunset spots in Phuket. Along the way, we recommend stopping at Nai Harn and Yanui Beaches – they are less crowded and have crystal clear water.
2. Big Buddha and Viewpoints
This route is great for sightseeing: climb the mountain to the Big Buddha statue (Big Buddha Phuket), and then visit the Karon Viewpoint – a stunning view of the coastline.
3. Phuket Old Town
The historical center of the island with colonial architecture, colorful houses, atmospheric cafes and markets. It is best to come here in the morning or evening - a walk will bring special pleasure.
4. East coast - islands and nature
Go to Chalong Pier or Ao Por Pier - excursions to the islands (Phi Phi, James Bond Island, Coral Island) start from here. On the way, you can stop at Khao Phra Thaeo Park with wild monkeys and waterfalls.
5. North Phuket - beaches and national parks
The beaches of Nai Thon, Bang Tao and Mai Khao are spacious and quiet, ideal for lovers of silence and nature. Sirinat National Park is located nearby - a great place for walks and picnics.
Tips from CarPhuketRental:
- Don't forget to check the parking lots near the beaches: sometimes it's more convenient to park a little further away to avoid the crowd.
- Check the traffic conditions by time: on some roads there may be traffic jams in the evening.
- Use a navigator - it's easier to find hidden beaches and non-tourist places.
