Phuket in Thailand has always attracted the beach lovers looking to relax and soak up some sun. However the island also offers many land based activities for the individual or family looking for something different.
Go Karting is a popular attraction with the island boasting of two tracks with varying advantages and benefits, both situated opposite each other.
The Patong Go Kart Speedway offers streamlined fun with normal karts as well as race karts and is ideal for beginners due to the structured race track. 2 seater karts too can be booked for those kids who want to be a part of the action but are too young to drive a kart by themselves. In fact rules at the race track stipulate that all drivers be above 16 years of age.
An advantage at this race track is that the Grand Prixs for a group can be organised making the sport a challenging and competitive one that can be fun for the whole family. Varying degrees of competitions are also arranged on a corporate level.
The Phuket Kart Speedway is ideal for those who have go karted before as this speedway offers two stroke engine fast karts that are impressive both in sound and speed. Of course karts of all levels are available including 4 stroke karts ranging from 50 – 70 Kilometres per hour and 2 stroke karts ranging from those that perform at 100Kmph, 120Kmph and beyond. 2 seat karts too are available for the kids who wish to be part of the action.
Established in 1990 the racetrack is 750 meters in length and boasts of a restaurant and their own weekly Grand Prix with prizes and surprises for everyone participating.
A fairly new addition in the form of the off road track that includes water splashes, bridges and long curvy roads with boulders and humps to be experienced on a buggy certainly adds to the excitement and fun away from the beach at Phuket.
The best part about these race tracks is that after a tiring and fun session of go karting, participants can relax at a beautiful Phuket beach resort that would serve as a great place to stay at. A Phuket resort, especially one such as Anantara Phuket Resort Thailand not only offers visitors a relaxed and luxurious atmosphere but also some of the best amenities and facilities.
