Wonderful Phuket self-driving tour unforgettable Phuket

Last year has been to Phuket, is at a time where the beautiful scenery and impeccable service amazed, decided this year again.

Old place must play out new tricks.

Phuket self-driving tour is one of the key points of this year's plan, be sure to set its own line free end. The Phuket experience of other free line have the opportunity to take in the future.

Preparation:

Compliance is required, the more people in a foreign land.

Before I wanted to do an international driver's license, but access to such information found in the so-called international driving license is domestic license of translation, no real legal significance, so thoroughly dispel engage international driver's license.

Foreign motorists is the local Government to approve China driving license.

Luckily, the Thailand Government is authorized to issue the black book of China, and even the replacement license should have English and obviate the problem of translation.

To be on the safe side, in Phuket car rental on the day before, I consulted the duty on the road traffic police of Thailand.

' Sir very politely said to me: "No problem, but be careful!"

Car rental:

It was the morning of August 12th.

I live in Phuket Holiday inn side Department has a travel agent, also manages the rental service.

I was a door labeled "ForRent" Suzuki 4-drive SUV. To be honest, I haven't touched 4 drive.

Boss looks like essays, direct the actors Tsai Ming told me not to offer 700 baht a day, even thought it's not expensive, although 1.3 displacement, but anyhow is a 4-drive, and that is it.

I make a trade, who kindly took out the keys.

But a get on the road, but I was feeling uncomfortable, not only is the right driver, but gears weren't identified on the stalls. After ignition hang 1 stalls go a few metres, but could not find reverse gear.

Upon seeing this said die who refused to give me a manual transmission, direct to recommend automatic stalls, said Shan automatically better open stalls, and so on.

I wanted indisputable tone (I'll even is opened seven years old a manual transmission), but the thought of life not familiar, indeed there are many inconvenience, had to be dropped. Finally a deliberate decision to rent a Toyota Vios, proprietress of 1.5 see my car rental view to 1200 baht, not to offer, said the price is the same price of Phuket. Even though the grievances, but my heart is unwilling to tens of money here and there, but to give up again.

This day is also suspected of boss LP with low their prices are for 4 drive to attract tourists.

Examination of relatively simple, or simply tell me where the car, at the same time, such as scratches, reminded me of the car there are 2 of the remaining oil and oil to 91.

Even thought it is Thailand's tourism, was not afraid she kill me.

Final billing and a "Vehicle hire agreement signed insurance" and turned over to the rarely LP's passport (pairs also prepared to ' Sir identification).

Right driving and road of adaptation:

Turns out if there are some who, out of the Patong is a series of mountain road, automatic gear really give me save some not accustomed left hand operation.

The right driver problems soon adapted, notably met secretly pleased to occasionally on the left, Hei Hei, it's a small turning Oh.

Phuket's many mountain roads, and some sharp bends, or continuous control the direction of sharp bends, becoming particularly important.

But as long as the control body is more yellow line, Hill Road, driving is very simple.

Other car on the road are also abide by the rules, we remained the speed of 40-60, few overtaking, no one Horn.

In case of disk around the island, we are all very courteous, as long as there is car parking disc, we consciously allow row, very gentle.

Pedestrian crossing the street with little, if any, we consciously let pedestrians.

I also encountered several pedestrians, but also to foreigners as deceleration and waved to let others go first. Hei Hei, polite feel really good, I was overjoyed. (Just this situation in the country is almost impossible, the quality is low, or too many Chinese people? perhaps we lack this habit, the lack of this kind, courteous atmosphere?)

Phuket's roadmap to a lot of very practical, common names are bilingual, as long as the destination, a map is of no use.

The general feeling, in Phuket is better than in the country by car away.

The only problem is the wiper switch often even as direction light switch dial to dial.

Karong Beach

All the crazy race, the first stop is Karong Beach.

Time though is the morning at half past ten, but it is lonely Karong Beach. Very few tourists on the beach, only a few people is to drive to sightseeing.

To tell the truth, Karong Patong Beach is a beautiful Beach, both in beach or sea water is better than Patong Beach.

Filling:

Car rental own refuelling is perfectly justified.

Out of the oil table Karong Beach show only 1 cell oil, so hurry to find a gas station with 20 litres of oil, which one day will run a 200KM up. Results take 600 baht.

To even come on guys start oil gun after I wash the glass front stalls, I can never receive this kind of refueling wash, although the car is dirty, you can happily psychological really is.

However, a gas station I began to regret that I didn't give the guy a tip. I still don't know need to give him a tip, but if someone else and I do not give, it seems a bit lost people face.

Proved oil or plus many little Japan car's fuel efficiency

But even on the last day is only 100 km away, is also making rent of boss and earn petrol can chuckle. However come out to play figure a happy, not haggle for these things.

Kata Beach

Kata Beach and Beach are very similar, Karong detergent, swell.

Visited a House called the Katathani hotel, feeling very good, very is magnificent. If you think to Phi Phi trouble, select Kata Hotels should be a good choice.

Kata View Point

To the poor, even thousands of miles.

After a period of consecutive road, car finally to Kata View Point.

On the platform, even places of all three Beach was restored, the whole in the eyes.

Sea breeze blows, the open mind feel.

Then again press the shutter, but in any case quite spectacular and always felt that it could not be found to reflect the View Point overlooking the magnificent beach.

Kata View Point of tourists, playing nearly an hour has not met a fellow countrymen, a bit disappointed.

Promthep Cape

Although it looked before Promthep Cape photos, but always feel Promthep Cape is a Cape.

Hold to this day, I opened the car finally climb to the attractions.

But I really didn't expect Promthep Cape the vehemence than magnificent Kata View Point.

Eyes wide blue sea, the distant visible small island, as well as the waves lapping the rock is a wonderful picture. I can only ashamed even to the United States, on the magnificent language description, only ashamed of my photographic camera capabilities. I just want to say, go to Phuket Promthep Cape, definitely worth a go!

Rawai Beach

Experienced Promthep Cape landscape, leaving all look very dull.

But the plain in Rawai Beach has also shown very quiet life, because the people here to play are the local people, everything seems to be very local, very casual, very harmonious. Although the beach is nothing special about, but to play quite a lot of people, on the beach in twos, threes, members enjoy a picnic. Although not hungry stomach, but occasionally and LP or here took some roadside picnic food, a miss as lunch.

Kon-Tiki Pier

After Kon-Tiki disc, I see a Terminal road signs, so they came to Kon-Tiki Pier (the name is my own, because the map is marked by Pier tags)

Didn't expect this pier really many, Phi phi on than we should be too, there is also a very long plank road leads to the dock.

Sea Park with many yacht, which is contrary to my expectation.

Phuket Town

About Phuket Town to people too much, no fuss, just me and so it is not a shopping, not worth mentioning.

Even the original plan is North up watching Ton sai Waterfall and Bang Pae Waterfall, it is said that there are still many wild animals.

But time has been unconsciously to four points, decided to return to the original road, go to watch the sunset.

Sunset

Promthep Cape at sunset, and is in the vicinity of a wind power generation of attractions to see (and really do not know their names).

There are some people playing airplane, very interested in, then go to all the excitement.

There I met a couple got married, had first seen in the life of foreigners wedding.

Relatives of the bride and groom really many, to professional photography cameraman, was hilarious scenes.

With the groom said something like, the groom happy also ran and I shook hands and even can be considered a bit of foreigners from omens.

Have always felt that the groom is like an actress or a star, but I really can't think who is like.

About sunset beautiful describes the wordy.

On the way back to Patong, Kata View Point again after, murdered many film (only with digital, now no longer love dearly).

Also car

As a result of the second day there was already another arrangement, think also no need to get a car in Patong for the night, then to the proprietress of the call, conventions also car time, sure enough, the car just into the hotel entrance, collection of welcoming up to simply check, even get an LP of passport, this completes the pairs Phuket 1 self-driving tour.

More Bangkok, Phuket, Phiphi photos will be added to the album in the couple:
