Tuk ! Tuk ! Mafia ! Patong ? syndicate been ripping people blind there for years.... best bet rent a Suzuki from the airport area and drive your own in or rent a Honda scooter from your hotel so you dont give up your passport to motorcy rental jipsters !
Good cheap and efficient public transpo is need in Phuket... Pattaya's baht buses has em all whipped !
