Moving To Phuket, Some Questions...

...What is absolutely crucial here is transport. If you are not an EXTREMELY experienced motorcyclist, forget it. It can't be stressed enough what a complete pain in the arse Phuket is to get around if you've never ridden a bike and can't afford a car. ..

Absolute tosh. I first rode a bike on Samui and then Phuket. Just copy what the other riders do and you'll be alright. Don't ride like you would in your own country

I agree and disagree. If you have never ridden a bike before, you can still do it in phuket, go out with someone who can show you the ropes. Its incredibly easy on those automatic bikes. the only problem is when you get these stupid farangs who get to many drinks into them and start driving all over the place, sometimes even revert back to thier own country and will start to drive on the other side when drinking. Its a lovely feeling being on a bike in thailand, just wear a helmet!
