The Experience
Before You Go
Book infant seats early
Infant seats are available but limited; reserve them when you book to secure one for your trip.
Plan stops by distance
Map a short list of stops to avoid too much driving between attractions—Phuket’s traffic can cost valuable time.
Beat the heat
Schedule beach or outdoor stops for early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday sun and humidity.
Carry small cash
Many local stalls and parking attendants accept only cash—bring small bills for food, tips and entry fees.
