The mountain roads in Phuket are very refreshing but not suitable for those seeking excitement, as the roads are winding and right-hand drive, with the A-pillar blocking the center line. Therefore, there are many cars turning right that need to pay attention to the oncoming traffic. The locals drive very fast on the mountain roads, reaching speeds of 60-80 kilometers per hour. Apart from this, it is important to be aware of motorcycles in the left rearview mirror.

The mountain road is relatively narrow, with fewer street lights in the evening, but Phuket's main roads are on both sides, forming a circular shape in the shape of an eye. The mountain road is still passable during the day; just be careful and drive slowly at night for a nice trip.
