Traffic rules in Thailand and behavior in road traffic Speed limits on the roads, especially in front of public facilities. A speed limit of 30 km/h applies at schools, 60 km/h before bends, 120 km/h on straight stretches. Always pay attention to the signs! You must drive at least 100 km/h on the right-hand lane of the highway to avoid rear-end collisions in the overtaking lane. Similar traffic rules as in Europe.Comments and personal impressions:The limits are hardly ever adhered to, as controls are rather rare. I have never seen a speed camera that measures speed, neither on Phuket nor anywhere else in Thailand. Distance to the vehicle in front. The distance rules are more complex than those in Europe, but the “half speedometer” rule also works well in Thailand. For example, on my motorcycle driving test it was 17 meters at 40 km/h. So you drive well with the fist rule. You should keep a distance of one meter from cars parked to the side. (In case someone opens the door).Here on Phuket, hardly anyone observes the distance rule. On the contrary – the path is cut off, people drive as close as possible behind the vehicle in front and so most journeys are an unecological gas/brake/gas/brake until the next traffic light. The reasons are not clear to me, because the second most common cause of accidents in Thailand is: tailgating. So don’t let others inspire you. Are helmets compulsory for drivers and passengers? Yes, helmets are compulsory and yes, they are also compulsory for passengers. On the one hand it is for safety and on the other to avoid trouble. Trouble at the slightest with the police, which can usually be settled with a fine. The worse case, and this is exactly the same as in Germany, is the insurance companies. In the event of misconduct, they can reduce or even withhold the sums insured. The question then arises as to whether the helmet could have prevented the injuries or not in a legal dispute lasting years. Parking in the city area Always park in the marked white spaces. Never park in yellow spaces, as these are for cabs. Yellow spaces with diagonal stripes in the middle of the road are usually used as exits. (Fire brigade, hospital, school and other public buildings). You should not stop there when the traffic lights are red. Curbs or walls painted red and white or red and black also mean that it is absolutely forbidden to stop. Yellow-white or yellow-black means no parking. I see scooters chained up in front of the shopping center every day. Payment is then made at the nearest police station. Just for information: Parking in the shopping center costs 20 baht per hour. Basic traffic rules, not like in most European countries There is left-hand traffic (the driver’s door of a parked vehicle opens towards the road).Driving license, international and in English, vehicle documents and an identity card must be carried.Unless expressly indicated (usually in Thai), it is also permitted to turn left at a red traffic light.At traffic circles, the lights flash when turning right and often also when leaving the traffic circle.At night and sometimes during the day, the traffic light signals are switched off. They then only flash yellow. In this case, you should approach the junction slowly and carefully. Driving regulations like in Germany? Just think about how you would drive at home and multiply your attention many times over 😉For example, the following are not permitted in GermanyDriving while intoxicated, drinking alcohol, with a cell phone to your ear, speeding, unnecessary honking, music that is too loud and booming exhaust pipes. When riding a scooter, you should also wear a T-shirt, as you will certainly be passing a holy place. Smoking, riding with more than two people, jaywalking and aggressive behavior are not allowed.In Germany it is said:Anyone who fails to comply with applicable traffic regulations, is unfit to drive or acts negligently and thereby endangers other road users on the road must expect a fine and, in the worst case, a prison sentence of up to five years.This is also the case in Thailand. Impressions from outside parties Once again, I would like to emphasize that foreigners are subject to a slightly stricter interpretation of the law, or you could also say that Thais are punished according to their low income. Accordingly, the impression is correct that the locals are also somewhat more negligent in complying with the law. Most of them also do not have additional health, nursing care, liability or fully comprehensive insurance. Please drive carefully and considerately.The majority of Thais do the same. Can I take out additional insurance? Yes, you can take out additional scooter insurance. However, this is not fully comprehensive insurance as we know it from home.We recommend that you ask your travel insurance provider explicitly about this. There are insurance policies that cover the rental of a scooter or motor vehicle.It is important here that the rental company has a license! Please always ask.With the online supplementary insurance “Mr Prakan”, for example, you will be asked for your rental license number and chassis number. Would you like to rent a scooter with confidence? As we prefer to ride scooters ourselves, we also have selected scooters to choose from in addition to our range of tours. These are well maintained, serviced, in mint condition and have been driven less than 10000 km.TIP Tourinformation is a licensed company based in Phuket Patong.

My Phuket Adventure: Unforgettable Experiences & Highlights When I planned my trip to Phuket, I knew the island had more to offer than just stunning beaches. I wanted to explore its culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes – and a city tour was the perfect way to do it! Amazing Sights on My Phuket Tour Big Buddha: A Spiritual Landmark with Spectacular Views My first stop was the impressive Big Buddha on Nakkerd Hill. The massive 45-meter-tall statue provided a 360-degree panoramic view of the island – absolutely breathtaking! The peaceful atmosphere and Buddhist rituals made this visit truly special. Wat Chalong: The Spiritual Heart of Phuket Another highlight was Wat Chalong, the island’s most significant temple. I admired the intricate decorations, observed local prayers, and immersed myself in the deep-rooted culture of the locals. A place full of history and spirituality! Promthep Cape: A Picture-Perfect Sunset I wanted to witness one of Thailand’s most stunning sunsets – and Promthep Cape was the perfect spot. From this viewpoint, I enjoyed the breathtaking ocean views as the sun slowly dipped into the sea. A moment I’ll never forget! A Glimpse into Local Life & Culture Phuket Old Town: Colorful Streets & Charming Cafés Phuket Old Town surprised me with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, lively streets, and cozy cafés. I strolled through Thalang Road and Soi Romanee, admired street art, and visited fascinating temples. Markets: Culinary Delights & Unique Souvenirs A must-visit for any traveler is the local markets! I sampled exotic fruits at the Phuket Weekend Market (Naka Market) and found handcrafted souvenirs at the Banzaan Fresh Market. This was a great way to experience authentic Thai life firsthand. Wildlife Encounters & Adventures Up-Close with Tigers & Elephants An unforgettable experience was getting close to tigers – from a safe distance, of course! I also had the chance to ride elephants through the tropical scenery. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure I’ll always cherish. Visiting a Bee & Cashew Farm I learned how honey is sustainably produced and tasted different varieties. On a cashew farm, I discovered the process of nut production – and, of course, took home some delicious treats! Book Your Own Phuket Tour!

Fahrt zum James Bond Felsen A Personal Experience The famous James Bond Island (officially Khao Phing Kan) is one of the most popular destinations in Phang Nga Bay, Thailand. The towering limestone rock formation, dramatically rising from the emerald-green water, became world-famous after appearing in the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun”. But is it really worth visiting? I took the tour myself – and here’s my honest review. The Journey: Speedboat Ride Through Phang Nga Bay 🚤 The tour usually starts from Phuket or Krabi, with a speedboat or longtail boat ride through Phang Nga Bay. The journey through the maze of limestone cliffs and turquoise waters is breathtaking. Even before reaching James Bond Island, there are countless photo opportunities – especially the towering karst formations emerging from the sea. A highlight for me was the kayaking trip through hidden caves and lagoons. Drifting peacefully through nature was one of the most serene and beautiful moments of the tour. James Bond Island: Impressive but Overcrowded 😕 After about 45 minutes by boat, the most famous sight appears: James Bond Rock, a slender limestone pillar standing dramatically in the sea. What I Loved: ✅ Unique Natural Wonder – The rock formation is truly stunning, especially with the dramatic cliffs in the background.✅ Perfect Photo Spot – No wonder this place is world-famous. If you catch the right lighting, you’ll get postcard-worthy shots.✅ Fascinating Movie History – Its connection to the James Bond film adds an interesting touch. What Bothered Me: ❌ Crowds Everywhere – Even with an early start, the small island was packed with tourists. Taking a peaceful photo? Impossible!❌ Overcommercialized – Many souvenir stalls and overpriced snacks take away some of the magic.❌ Short Stay – After just 20–30 minutes, the tour moves on before you can truly soak in the atmosphere. Tip: To avoid the worst of the crowds, book a private tour or opt for a sunrise tour – fewer people, more enjoyment! Lunch & Tour Guides: Authentic and Friendly 🍛 After visiting James Bond Island, the tour continued to Koh Panyee, a floating fishing village. Here, we enjoyed a delicious Thai buffet featuring fresh seafood, rice dishes, and vegetables. The tour guides were exceptionally friendly and shared fascinating stories about the region – a real plus! Is the James Bond Island Tour Worth It? My Verdict! 🤔 🔹 Worth seeing? Absolutely! The nature and rock formations are spectacular and a true highlight in Thailand.🔹 Overcrowded? Unfortunately, yes. If you dislike crowds, consider alternatives (such as private tours or less-visited islands nearby).🔹 Great for photography? Definitely! Despite the crowds, James Bond Island remains a fantastic photo opportunity. If you embrace the touristy nature of the spot and focus on enjoying the moment, you’ll have a great time. However, if you prefer tranquility, there are quieter, equally beautiful places in Phang Nga Bay. 📍 Tip: For more nature and fewer tourists, visit the Similan Islands or the lesser-known Koh Yao Noi!
