    I do not use tuk tuk.
    Fortunately i have full bike licence, 40 years experience, on and off road driving, so Patong traffic is no problem.
    Hiring a bike with no license or experience will end up badly. Police fines, or worse still an accident, costing you plenty in damages, and uninsured hospital fees.
    Thank you Sean.

    The prices are pretty outrageous. You know they are many times higher than other parts of Thailand. Phuket is infamous for many years for the taxi/Tuk Tuk mafia. It will never end because the local government is in on it. Charging 600 - 800 Baht for 10 to15 minute ride in these death traps is just criminal.

    The police money and the tuk-tuk money goes up the line, not sure how much the guys keep for themselves. I did 25000 miles riding around Thailand on a 125cc step-thru (moped they are not to be pedantic) and a few months after I exited the Kingdom my ex-Thai girlfriend got knocked off and landed on her head, went into a coma and had to hand the house deeds over to pay for the treatment. She did recover but was somewhat annoyed that I seemed more concerned about the fate of the trusty Yamaha than her. You always have to keep an eye on the mirrors to look out for vehicles that won't move around you but I have been riding since I was sixteen so the instincts are there.
