Lots of comments about the Passport thing.. Phuket is “run” a little different to everywhere else in Thailand, I have been to about 20+ shops to investigate this and they all require a physical passport.. if anyone knows a place that doesn’t require it, let me know.
I have been to Phuket and they are ok with just having a picture of your passport. I really recommand Diamond Phuket Airport Scooter Motorbike Rental, it's just outside the airport and if you just have a backpack it's the best, you skip the grab and you can drive directly where you want to go from the airport.
I always travel with two driving licenses and I will leave one as at deposit. This has always worked over every part of Thailand so far! Just a little tip ❤
@@keisone yeah in Phuket (English driving licence) it was about 6 years ago last time I was there though so maybe things have changed. I always advise people to get two driving licenses before they go backpacking in Asia to use one of them as a deposit in various places because if someone tries to scam you can always just walk away.
You can get from the airport to Patong & vice versa via "Phuket Smart Bus", 100 baht. It has air conditioning too 🙂 It has a few stops along the way but I enjoyed the view.
Just pay 3000 baht security deposit, make sure you get that written on your rental agreement and your good! No need to leave your passport ! Ps ... let the photocopy it ... but you dont need to leave it !
Yes, you are correct about the benefits of going in shoulder season but the end of April/May is repressive in regard to heat and humidity - this year was particularly bad imo🤒
Great video! It's good to see Bam Bam and Family again. I thought it was a repost at the start. Go and check out that Pom at Maybelles Coffee Garden while you're there.
One of the biggest turn off are the taxi mafia 🤬. Bars scare the hell out of me because of scammers and getting ripped off so I never go to bars. Last time I went to a bar is 30 years ago 😂😂😂😂
@keisone Keisy ! I was just in Patong for 16 nights !! So, I leave and then you arrive ?! I was also in Pattaya when you were there with Sam.... just after we filmed the DISGRACED aussie video !! How do I keep on missing you ?! I literally flew out Saturday arvo from Patong back to Melbourne. Next year when I come back to BKK I swear I'm gonna meet up with you for a beer or two. I also gotta film a sequel with Sam in Pattaya to our DISGRACED video as ppl were asking for a Part II !! haha....... keep up the great work mate !! cheers...... Cookie
I used to stay in that area of Phuket 20-30 years ago at a joint called Patong Beach Hotel which I presume is long gone. Great location, although I haven’t been there for gems.
Love Phuket ❤ My husband and I were there in February this year and a couple years ago….too crowded this year in my opinion! We outta choose a different month when it’s less packed……Thanks for sharing this video Adam 😊
I liked Patong at first until I realised how corrupt & expensive it was compared to other places. The cops make 10’s of $1000’s per day from no helmet/int license fines ($1000B a pop) at the end of Bangla Rd. They tried to fine me multiple days in a row, but let me off because I told them they’d already fined me: which just goes to prove its corrupt. F**k that. I much prefer the chilled out islands now. Koh Phangan is my new number 1, but currently on Samui about to head home. Fellow Aussie here too. 🇦🇺🤙🏼
Good video! A couple of comments, not criticisms. You reviewed Patong, not Phuket. Patong is very different from anywhere else in Phuket. Personally, I am not a fan but great if that's what you want. I would never leave my passport with a bike/car hire shop. They are mostly crooks and not the sort of people you would want to hold your passport (it's probably thrown into an unlocked drawer). The hotel deal was a good one and the view was mega, however, that road would be busy all night. I hope you could sleep! 150 baht for a meal is fine and not expensive IMO.
In chiang mai, they wanted to do the passport thing with me but i was living there for months, ended up putting down 5k baht deposit instead. gotta make it to phuket at some stage. great vid!
I was jut in Phuket in March, and the god damn Thai prime minister showed up one night to Bangla Road, that was cool !!! I must come to Happy Cactus next time I come through for sure.
Last year during high season was the worse , I paid 30,000 baht for a pcx150 for three months ( I know I was getting ripped off but that’s all I could find ).. this past high season I paid 11000 baht for a pcx160 for two months
Dude what the hell were you even trying for on that first 8 ball drop... musta been the beer. Owner was married to a Mexican so the tacos are great! Pool table is great. A must stop for me every time as well. Sadly not in Thailand now, but it was one of my regular spots. Happy hour tacos! Get em folks. If you're a decent player and want a challenge, Bam Bam is a fantastic player. Make sure to buy her a drink if she beats you.
Almost every time I rent a bike in Phuket the standard is to leave your passport.. if you know any shops that don’t do this in Phuket let me know and I’ll check them out 😊
I can’t remember the name of the shops, but I’ve been to a few and all they require is a photocopy of your passport and a 3000 baht bond that you get back when you return the bike. I’ve been going there for 17 years. I’ve ridden a scooter every time and I’ve never left my passport with anybody.
Crazy the a 40 baht meal is 150 in Phuket. I suppose it's location. I think I have been to Phuket about five times and really wanted to like it but it was not great. I would pick Samui over Phuket every time. More chilled. I never even had to show my passport there. I knew the guy so away you go. A good tip is take the most crappy and scratched up bike you can then they won't know if you drop it.
Interesting. Stayed away from both for years but tried phuket last year and tbf it's a great island, plenty to do on the bike etc but very touristy and very expensive. Going to give samui a go next
terrain in phuket is majestic the hills and windy roads make motorbike riding there mad fun 😎 i just dont do it at night...taxi only!! crazy ass falangs riding drunk and speeding / horrific accident a few weeks back in rawai
Mate I missed catching up for a beer with you there lol only got back to Australia yesterday 28th after being in Patong since the 11th. Heading back again in September to Patong to catch up with some friends.
They will allow you to substitute your passport instead of the 10,000 baht cash deposit the Xmax usually goes for. Its really up to you what you leave for the deposit!
@@keisone I don't know how many times I've had to tell the same guy I don't want a suit, I'm in patong now I don't even want to leave the hotel. The jet ski, paragliding guys are the worst they don't leave you alone from the time you hit the sand until the time you leave.
never give your passport when renting a bike, they almost always accept money which they will give you back after you return it (normally like 1000-2000 baht if i remember correctly)
I have a question. I'm traveling to Phuket going to Patong beach. My question is Marijuana going to be overwhelming for those who do not participate? I mean the smell?
So did you order a bolt and that licensed taxi turned up? And I thought if a Bolt was picking you up. You had to walk out of the car park at the airport because the taxi mafia won’t let them in ?
If u dont have motorbike license, dont rent a motorbike. They Will rent i to u No problem there. But if u get in to problems your insurense wont have your back.
Motorbike for rent Chok patong Is the best motor bike place. They will take deposit too but it’s 10k if you don’t wanna leave your passport. They are honest though.
Patong have good local cheap restaurant for 100 baht a meal just need to go on secondary road and not in front of the beach road and tourism street where Everything is cost more 😬
@@keisonenever hand over your passport give them a copy instead. They dont need your passport but police can fine you if you not show your passport up on request ( experienced it my self).
@@keisone nah !! have faith ma bro ! positive mental attitude ... believe in yourself , I'm over in 2.5 weeks for a fortnight to sort out my health insurance before its too late so as to be ready for my permanent move
Just be careful about posting the info of the Grab/Bolt people mate. When I was last in Phuket my Grab driver made me walk to outside the airport as they aren't allowed into the airport. Yours looked like a normal cab so all good. My bloke was just a guy in a sick van. Because they do it so much cheaper the other cabbies (naturally) kick up a stink about it.
Point to note , don’t leave your passport , photo copy signed and dated is enough , like hotels even the big ones that’s all that is needed by law. Also your breaking Australian privacy and security laws by handing over you passport. The embassy will have a laugh at you and call you an idiot. Don’t do it go to another place that follows Thai laws. Even visa agents in Thailand know this but still do it 😂 that’s why so many are also getting cracked down on not just cause of edu visa , There’s an actual law that forbids the removal of a passport from a person.
Many women on facebook have single status yet have photos of wearing wedding ring and have photos of a husband or kids. This confuses me. Or is this normal in Thai culture?
Yes never give your passport because they can cheat you. Pay for damage you not make or not get your passport back. Giving your passport is also forbidden by your goverment.
Mate I just got back home from Pattaya this April 😢, and I hire a 155 Aerox from a lady I know for 150 Baht a day, She also does Visa’s and licenses if anyone is interested! Nan Services Pattaya!
Annoyingly the what's up bro guys are back in Bangkok so frustrating walking down Sukhumvit Road and having try they what's up bro whats up when U walk past 🤣
@@keisone yeah bro seen them start of my trip in BKK then last night back in BKK for the night. They not as many as previously but they still around guess they back after the crackdown
Phuket and the surrounding areas seem to be a lot more expensive say for the likes of Pattaya ......... yourthai drivers lic /bike licence has your passport number on it so no real need to give the passport ..... generally that's to hold you to ransom , I'd just do grab in that case
Don’t EVER hand out your passport!!!!! They can make a copy. If that isn’t good enough go to another rental place!!!!! You legally have to have your passport and your license in your when riding a bike. It’s just a way for a rental company to hold your passport hostage.

That’s good to know, I did wonder if not being in an area that caters to tourists would make a difference.. that’s a long ride to Patong though haha
I always travel with two driving licenses and I will leave one as at deposit. This has always worked over every part of Thailand so far!

I played pool in koh Samui with bar girls and also fellow visitors...man it was the most fun of my life....
Yeah love playing pool and beers!!
never hand over a passport rule #1

Agree, never ever. Give the little deposit They ask insted.

Great to see Bam Bam again plus mother and same bar staff
Yeah, so nice to see them, really cool that all the same staff are still there 😊

It has a few stops along the way but I enjoyed the view.
Ah that’s good to know!! Thanks 😊
Yeah i got a bus. Had to hang around a bit for it to leave . Wasn't the most comfortable but cheap and plenty of stops
Just pay 3000 baht security deposit, make sure you get that written on your rental agreement and your good! No need to leave your passport ! Ps ... let the photocopy it ... but you dont need to leave it !
They didn’t accept, I offered.. I have tried many others and they all give the same story

I love Happy Cactus, been going there for years and their food is top notch. Just across from Otop which is always worth a visit.
Looks nice and smooth i quiet season .it can be much when busy
Too short! Loved it..thanks for the video!
Welcome back to Phuket island 🤗😊🫰❤️🏖🏝🌴🌊🎊🎉
Thank you thank yooooou 😊
Good video! A couple of comments, not criticisms.
You reviewed Patong, not Phuket. Patong is very different from anywhere else in Phuket. Personally, I am not a fan but great if that's what you want.
I would never leave my passport with a bike/car hire shop. They are mostly crooks and not the sort of people you would want to hold your passport (it's probably thrown into an unlocked drawer).
The hotel deal was a good one and the view was mega, however, that road would be busy all night. I hope you could sleep!
150 baht for a meal is fine and not expensive IMO.

Ah that’s a good option! I haven’t found that yet here..
Phuket town hip hip !!
I dig Phuket Town!
Hey.
That looks like a fun place. I will really travel all over Thailand once I live there.
I was jut in Phuket in March, and the god damn Thai prime minister showed up one night to Bangla Road, that was cool !!! I must come to Happy Cactus next time I come through for sure.
I've noticed that m/bike rental prices have gone up a fair bit since the start of covid

Seven Hundred and Fifty Baht / Night !!! Great find !!! Can you select stocks as well? And you continue to spread happiness from province to province.
Haha wish I could find stocks like that 🤣
Flying in tomorrow can't wait
There is a motorcycle rental place across from the airport that was good bikes for a good price. Saves on bolt taxi each way
Yeah I went there end of January and it was way too crowded
Yeah high season is wild.. bet it was way more expensive too!
@@keisone for sure . Thanks . Now I know the best time to go because of your video .
Trying that restaurant right now. Hope it’s good !
Yeah I would not recommend handing over your passport. Many places won't ask for it but they will copy your license instead which is better.
Almost every time I rent a bike in Phuket the standard is to leave your passport.. if you know any shops that don’t do this in Phuket let me know and I’ll check them out 😊
My follow on advice from this is to go to a bigger more reputable shop.
I can’t remember the name of the shops, but I’ve been to a few and all they require is a photocopy of your passport and a 3000 baht bond that you get back when you return the bike.

Just say No never hand over your passport pay extra then get your refund on the motorcycle 🏍️ when you return it.
Do you know of any places in Phuket that do it? I had tried to find one on my previous trip without luck..
After this i would love to go
Mate I missed catching up for a beer with you there lol only got back to Australia yesterday 28th after being in Patong since the 11th. Heading back again in September to Patong to catch up with some friends.

Hi Keis how much for the plane ticket ?????
Think I paid around 1500 baht each way.. I booked quite late though
How’s the weather there in November
The punters in patong can drive you up the wall after a week.
Which ones? The taxi, Suit, Massage, or ping pong guys? Haha yeah it’s draining man

Go to the Restaurant "number 6". Im in Patong too at the moment. Best prices, best food, close to bangla. Trust me.
Phuket looks like a good place.
Yeah it’s fun!!
@@keisone Muchas Gracias tacos out there. Very Cool.

Bolt is the best from the airport. I believe they can now pick you up from arrivals instead of having to walk to the road.
How does the NMax compare to your honda?
Haha it’s like riding a couch compared to the Honda 🤣🤣
Honda is way cooler though lol
@@keisone Couch Surfin... noice!
I have a question. I'm traveling to Phuket going to Patong beach. My question is Marijuana going to be overwhelming for those who do not participate? I mean the smell?

So did you order a bolt and that licensed taxi turned up?
And I thought if a Bolt was picking you up. You had to walk out of the car park at the airport because the taxi mafia won’t let them in ?
Yeah but some taxi drivers are also on the bolt app
You need to get to Vietnam big fella. I need some tips for my trip 😀
Yeah man, I been thinking about that lately too!!
Hi pal enjoy yourself about time ye😊
Yeah! Good times 🥳🥳
79 days to go and counting.
Only have a Qld car license. Do they have restrictions as to what size bike you can rent?
Get yourself an international driving permit from the NRMA, you just walk in and purchase it

But if u get in to problems your insurense wont have your back.

i emailed you like a week ago brother hope to hear back coming to Thailand again.
You can rent a car for 17 USD per day. If the bike is 500 bath seems to me that you better get the car. Much safer.
Motorbike for rent Chok patong
Is the best motor bike place. They will take deposit too but it’s 10k if you don’t wanna leave your passport. They are honest though.

Yeah Phuket is definitely more expensive than Pattaya, for everything..
Phuket is overpriced been there once that was enough
Don’t EVER hand out your passport!!!!! They can make a copy. If that isn’t good enough go to another rental place!!!!! You legally have to have your passport and your license in your when riding a bike. It’s just a way for a rental company to hold your passport hostage.
I think patong is a shit hole I've been going there for about 17 years and I will never go back I'm in jomtien and this place is 300% better
I’m on the Jomtien train too! I did enjoy this trip though 😊 Phuket is nice when you get out of Patong and explore..
