Phuket Highway Speedtraining

Not really for the ones that look for a scenic ride. Just set out from Rawai and stay on the main road - mostly highway - to Chalong Roundabout, Central Festival, Bypass Road, Heroines' Monument, Thalang, and follow the highway North all the way to Phuket checkpost. Do a U-Turn there and back the same way.

Probably not many to share my pleasure in taking this ride, but it is still good to do some decent speedtraining.

Usually you would find some trucks, that are ideal to hang in behind: loaded trucks, so they are slow, with trailer, so you don't get the exhaust fumes. Once you jump in behind it and stick just behind his left rear wheel, you will probably be fine. From Thalang to the Checkpoint - and obviously on the way back - you may enjoy some rolling hills. You will be amazed how good the suction is behind the trucks and how fast you can go.

But as I said, only for aficionados...
