Easy Travel - Departure

Tuk-Tuk

Tuk-tuks are common in Patong and Phuket Town, but fares can be negotiable in some areas due to limited return options.

Depending on the distance, it usually start at around ฿100-200 per hour.

It is not recommended to opt for tuk-tuk drivers like double as travel agents. They will usually only take you to a place but you will end up paying them an additional commission over and above what they have overcharged you for the ride.

The rate is by distance and not by the number of passengers. If the driver wants to charge you by the number of people, wave him on and catch another.
The polite way to stop a songthaew or tuk-tuk on the street is to hold your arm out in front of you, palm down and make a up and down motion.

Long Tail Boat

Often called the workhorse of the Andaman Sea, long tails are used to provide a number of marine services. While not as flashy or fast as modern speedboats, a voyage in a long tail boat is an interesting experience and a great way to take short sightseeing trips?

The ubiquitous long tail boat is found wherever there is water in southern Thailand. The current version with the motor mounted on the back is the latest modification on this ancient but quite seaworthy craft.

The one serious disadvantage of the long tail is the almost complete lack of safety equipment such as life jackets. Long tails are not advisable while travelling with small children or non-swimmers.
