To get to and from Phuket airport, you have several options of transportation. You can take a taxi, a shuttle bus, a local bus, a minibus, or a private car.

The taxi is the most convenient and comfortable option but also the most expensive.

The shuttle bus is a good compromise between cost and comfort as it will take you directly to your hotel in Phuket.

The local bus is the cheapest option but also the slowest and least reliable.

The minibus is a good option for solo travelers or backpackers who want to go to specific beaches or areas in Phuket.

The private car is a good option for groups or families who want more privacy and flexibility.
