Question
Where does the police patrol the roads in Phuket? Where could they stop you?
Insider's Response
The police are most commonly found near Karon, where you’re most likely to be stopped and have your documents checked. Don’t forget to wear a helmet when riding a motorbike and use seat belts in a car. For more details about transportation, rentals, and getting around Phuket, check out the Transport section.
Also, remember that left-hand traffic has its own peculiarities, as does the driving style of local drivers. We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with traffic rules and reading about the Asian driving style on our website.
