Where to Go Cycling in Phuket

If there’s one thing that’s fun to do in Phuket, that’s to go cycling. Phuket is a beautiful seaside town with lush, green national parks, which makes it worth exploring on a bike. You can pedal your way up the hills of Phuket’s coastline, ride around Phuket Old Town, or tackle one of the steep cycling routes around Phuket’s national parks, Khao Phra Thaeo and Sirinat. In the next section, we will talk about some of the routes you can take when riding a bike in Phuket.

 

Patong Beach

Let’s start with Patong Beach. It can be the best location for quick bike rides in the morning. The road going here is less busy early in the day. Morning is the perfect time to bike here and check out places like the market in Patong or Kathu Waterfall. Once done, you can have breakfast at one of the cafeterias in the area. But you should watch out for traffic jams later in the day.

 

Thai Muang Beach

Next on the list is Thai Muang Beach. There’s a 30-kilometer road along the beach where you can go on a slow, relaxing ride. There are plenty of stopovers along the way, including the turtle sanctuary, which is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area. You can also explore some of the small villages you will pass through along the way.

 

Koh Yao Noi Island

There are many bike tours towards Koh Yao Noi Island. You can either join a bike tour or head there on your own. Here’s the catch: this long, scenic bike ride will take you through the countryside and the beach roads. Here, you will get a glimpse of Old Thailand, thanks to the small villages surrounded by rice paddies. However, if cycling is too exhausting for you, you can take a boat to Koh Yao Noi Island. Once there, you can rent a bike and start exploring the nooks and crannies of the island.

 

Phuket Old Town

If you’re curious about European-Asian architecture, you should visit Phuket Old Town. You can take a bike ride along the roads of this place, exploring the different tourist attractions along the way. You can stop at the Pud Jor shrine to see its life-like statue of the goddess Guanyin. You can drop by the On On Hotel, which was made popular by the movie, The Beach. You can also pass by the Thai Hua Museum, which has a lot of exhibits on the history of Phuket. If you’re tired already, then you can stop at a nearby coffee shop or restaurant to recharge your batteries.

 

Route 4027

Finally, Route 4027 is the last place on the list where you can see Phuket’s tourist attractions along the way. Here, you can opt to explore the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project and the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. You can also trek through Phuket’s virgin forests and make a pitstop at the Bang Pae Falls to cool down before you hit the road again.
