You will find this city is very hectic, so you will most likely want to get a small car hire in Patong for your trip, such as a Toyota Yaris. This not only will help you navigate the roads better, but it will also be helpful for parking. If you want to head out to explore the Thai countryside, then you should opt for something a little more robust. For example, a Toyota Fortuner provides you with better handling, the ability to go on a range of terrains and also a superior grip on steep gradients.

It’s important that you stick to the speed limits when you are in your car hire in Patong, so you stay safe and don’t get fined by the local authorities. In general, the motorways have a maximum speed limit of 120 km/h whilst the rural roads are 90 km/h. When you’re driving in Patong or any other urban area, you must slow your speed down to 50 km/h.

Parking in Patong is not an easy feat by any means. That being said, there are certain places that are good options for parking. A great place to park is at Jungceylon Shopping Centre. Here, you get the first 30 minutes for free, but if you can show a receipt from the centre for at least ฿ 100 (A$ 4), you also get the next 3 hours for free too. Another relatively cheap place to park is Offentlicher Parkplatz, which costs about ฿ 60 (A$ 2.40) for the whole day.
