Final question, how is it with parking in Patong (and Phuket in general) should I expect to pay a couple of bahts to some tout everytime place I decide to park? and is it safe to park in Patong? (or where) Thanks
In/around Surin and Phuket town it's park-as-park-can. If it looks like a spot it probably is. My understanding is Patong can be more situational but I've only parked there once and had a shot gun giving all pertinent directions.

I've never experienced parking touts on Phuket.
