One-way tips

Rules 01

Patong works as a one-way loop

Beach Road and Rat-U-Thit Road run in opposite directions. Missing your turn often means going round the loop again – set your GPS before you drive in.

Rules 02

Book a hotel with parking

Street parking in central Patong is rare in high season. A hotel with its own car park saves a lot of time.

Rules 03

Island trips

Park in Trang town or at the pier – rental cars cannot go to the islands.

Rules 04

One-way fee included

The drop charge is part of the total price in your search – compare totals, not daily rates.
