You cannot use the Uber App in Thailand; however, Uber has merged with Grab, a Southeast Asian ride-hailing platform, and Grab is available in Phuket as one of the main ride-hailing services.
Grab offers car, motorbike, and taxi services in Phuket, and it can be accessed via the Grab app, which is available for download on smartphones. You simply attach your debit or credit card to your Grab account, and you can use this internationally.
Grab is a popular and convenient option for getting around Phuket, especially for short distances or when you need a reliable transportation service.
Please note that availability of ride-hailing services may change over time, and it’s always best to check the latest information and availability of ride-hailing services in Phuket at the time of your visit.
