Motorbike and Car Rental
The best way to explore Phuket is by car or motorcycle – find secluded beaches, visit temples or Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, waterfalls and other attractions. This way you can avoid the high taxi rates on the island
You can rent them from us but remember to bring your driving license. Seat belts and helmets are compulsory in Thailand, although many locals do not bother, and do not drink and drive!

There is more to Thailand than beaches and nightlife. More people play chess in Thailand than in many western countries – but they play a rare variant of asian chess with some obscure rules. Here at the Phuket Chess Club we play international chess, blitz and long games.
We have standard international chess sets and FIDE approved chess clocks available for any who would like to join.
There are also other games available, like Connect4, and an 8-ball pool table
