Really good advice, except that, the last time we were there, we did.
Drove down to Karon or Kata, can't remember which, and found nowhere to park. Seemed spaces were "controlled" by some thugs.
Drove back to Patong and spotted a parking space on the right side of the road in between the endless tuk tuks.
A gentleman came out of a shop and informed us in no uncertain terms we were not to park there, and if we did the car would be damaged on our return.
We went back to our hotel, returned the car early, finished our stay locally, and never came back to Phuket.

Don't see many TuK Tuks. Just no tourists to fleece.
Since I have limited mobility these guys were the reason I stopped visiting Phuket many years ago after 3/4 visits a year for over a decade.

Are the taxi drivers still behaving like aholes and holding out for 200 a trip?

I refuse to drink drive so I did on occasion need a TukTuk or taxi. Rarely was I quoted under 500 Baht even if you're going a few hundred metres up the road (a 50 Baht trip in a modern air con car in Bangkok). The place is a total rip off.
500 Baht, good grief! I was living in Hong Kong and making several trips to Phuket each year.
Could catch an 8.30 morning flight and be having lunch on the beach.
We sought alternative places, mainly Vietnam which is also a shorter and cheaper flight, when the tuk tuks started being inflexible at 200 Baht a trip. 500 is just disgraceful.

I gave up on Phuket years before Grab was invented. Loathed the attitude of the locals, but would like to visit again one day. Until then am very happy with Vietnam, and a shorter, and cheaper, flight.
