Can anyone shead any light on the price of car hire per day and also the price of petrol comparing Baht with British sterling.

I am planning on hiring a car when i come over to phuket in june any information would be helpful

hi there,

Unlead petrol about 15 baht/litre (= about 25 pence/litre)

If you want a car then check out Via Car rentals web page http://www.phuket.com/carrent/via.htm

You can rent a Suzuki jeep or similar from the roadside independants along the beach from about 800 Baht. We rent our jeeps to about 700 baht/day and small motor bikes from 120 baht/day.

See our web page http://phuket.ksc.co.th/~orcella

Have a good holiday,

Wallee & Alex in Patong, Phuket

Just got back from Phuket last week & we rent a Suzuki Caribbean from AVIS there. It costed us around UK 25.00 pounds per day inclusive of damage insurance but not petrol which is around 0.25 pound per litre.
Hope this helps.
