Phuket taxi is expensive and there is no public transportation. Road trip is the most convenient, and most places offer free parking.

If you only stay in hotels and take a one-day tour, renting a car will not be very useful.

Hello, renting a car in Phuket is the most convenient. Otherwise, taking a taxi is extremely expensive. If you live on the three main beaches, you will have to drive to Phuket Town.

Is it necessary to rent a car in Bangkok? I see that many scenic spots are in Bangkok, unless you go to nearby places. It's a bit far to drive to Chiang Mai and Phuket.

Can you please help me? We returned the car with about half a tank of gas because we were in a hurry. It should have cost no more than 400 baht to fill up. The rental company insisted on charging 1,600 baht or they would not process the return. There were no written terms. We were in a hurry and had to pay first.

Could you guys please give me some advice? We are planning to go in a group of 7.

However, we are worried that with a C1 license, we might not be allowed to drive a 10-seater car. We would like to ask some friends who are familiar with this, is it okay to drive a 10-seater car with a C1 license? Or which 7-seater car has more space ? Thailand Q&A
