What is the best way to get from place to place in phuket?

travelling from airport to patong beach to Nai han to phuket town to phi phi to the airport


Hi Cliff,

It depends on the time frame that you have in mind for this round trip. If you are planning to do all in one day then I would suggest for you to either rent a car or jeep from one of the Phuket car rental companies which allow for airport drop off service.

If you do not feel comfortable driving around as traffic can be hectic with all the motorbikes then the best solution would be to hire a car with driver for the day. Many of the smaller travel agents in Patong will be able to arrange this service for you. It will most likely be cheaper to arrange a car with driver this way rather then through your hotel as they pocket hefty fees from the Phuket Taxi Service and Phuket transportation providers.

The fastest way to reach Phi Phi is by speedboat which departs as soon as enough people have boarded. The somewhat more comfortable way is by the ferry boat which is less expensive however the journey does last slightly longer. The boats depart from the Rasada Pier which is located on the west coast of the Island located at Phuket City.

Taxi

I would use the tuk tuk, cheap and inexpensive and very reliable.

You can take a taxi from the airport. If you have already booked your hotel get him to take you directly to your hotel. If you plan to find a hotel yourself. Don't let your taxi driver help you find a hotel.

He will get a huge commission and you will be overcharged.

Once at your hotel if you want to move around there are buses similar to Philippino Jeepneys that will drive you around. Phuket town is pretty boring. If you don't intend on getting a soapy massage there's no reason to go there.

get around phuket in a taxi and to phi phi by boat.

rend motorbike at airport, just in front
