Transportation During Your Phuket Resort Stay

While staying in some of the best hotels Phuket has to offer, you will find that transportation here is as plentiful, inexpensive, easy and fun as all the other Thailand destinations frequented by tourists. Below is a description on getting around on the island.

Tuk Tuk
Phuket Tuk Tuk
Transport options include the very popular Tuk Tuk. These small taxis can be found all over the island. Simply flag one down, though they would probably offer a ride before you could even think of needing transport, and negotiate your fee before getting on. Fees will start from approximately 50 Baht depending on the distance you want to travel.
 
Songthaew
Phuket Songthaew or Baht Bus
These are the local open buses. It is basically a pick-up truck with two rows of benches on the back. These taxis make transport safe, even cheaper than the Tuk Tuks and fun to use. It's a very local way of transport and just feels authentically Thai. Fees are supposed to be fixed, but you will find yourself negotiating anyway. They operate between 06:00 am and 19:00 pm on fixed routes. When you reach your destination, simply signal the driver to stop by pressing the bell mounted under the canopy of the truck.
 
Meter Taxi's
Phuket Meter Taxi Services

This is the more expensive option if traveling in air-conditioned luxury is your thing. There are plenty of them and they are everywhere looking for business. Make sure you ask them to charge you by the meter and not their own inflated rates.

 
Motorcycle Taxi
Phuket Motorcycle Taxi
Not the safest, but definitely the fastest and cheapest. The drivers wear numbered green, orange or red vests so they are easy to spotted.
 
Longtail Boats
Phuket Longtail Boats
These can be used from beach to beach or for some fun island hopping. They can be hired by the hour or for a full day. Fees normally start from 400 Baht.
 
Scooters
Phuket Scooter Rental Services
Though due to safety considerations it is more advisable to rent a car or taxi, scooters are available everywhere on the island and the best hotels Phuket have to offer has their own scooters for rent to their guests. Everyone uses them since they are cheap and lots of fun. Approximately 200 Baht will get you your own wheels for the day and fuel consumption to last the duration.
