Buggy Drive

Buggy drive adventures (dune buggy)in Phuket are popular ways to spend a few hours driving around on trails and roads in a Mad Max from Thunderdome looking vehicle with a frame and big wheels for traversing gravel, trails, mud, puddles and even small streams.

Buggies are made from steel tubes welded together in a frame that supports seats and passengers and small cubic centimeter engines – typically 150 & 250cc in Phuket. These are fairly safe to partake in as speeds don’t get too high and you’re encouraged to be safe in the buggies.
