Phuket is one of the biggest travel destinations in Thailand, with 9.29 million visitors a year. Blessed with more than 30 different beaches to choose from, tourists flock here to visit Patong Beach, Kata, Karon and Kamala, however, you can also find some hidden gems for a more intimate atmosphere on the northern side of the island.
Phuket Airport is located approximately 33 km away from Phuket Town, taking no more than 45 minutes by car. You have three main transport options from Phuket Airport to Phuket Town; taxi, private transfer or bus. The most popular and convenient choice is to take a Phuket Airport taxi or private transfer, as they are available 24/7 and take you door-to-door.
Alternatively, you can take the 8411 Airport Bus for just €3.10 (THB 120). However, the trip takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to the centre of Phuket.
