Have been to phuket said phuket island traffic expensive, how expensive? What is the traffic on phuket? Is there a bus, is there a taxi, chug car how " kill people"? This introduction tells you the first choice of local traffic and the pit you may encounter, unlocking your local traffic skills!
Landing pugi island airport, how to live?
The most popular area for tourists is padang, Karen and kata. Traffic from the airport to these three places is the most convenient and often the cheapest. Phuket airport is divided into international and domestic arrival, booking shuttle is the most convenient, cost - effective, but here, the two terminal general four modes of transportation will be introduced to you.
- bus
Recommendation index: zero ( sorry, not a single star )
[ advantage ] cheap, 100 baht / person.
[ disadvantages ] less shift, take a long time, site location is not easy to find, can't direct to the hotel, only to phuket town.
[ applicable crowd ] arrive at phuket during the day; Cost savings; Less than 3 people travel; Not much luggage; Especially not in a hurry.

Phuket island airport bus to the city, the basic is more than an hour a class, ao jiao bus has a special " temper", time is not too early, at the latest more than 6 o' clock is shut down. Middle shift is small, take a long time, site location is not easy to find, can't direct to the hotel, the focus is phuket town bus station, if you want to go to the beach, also need to transfer to a bus or take a taxi. Anyway, is the least recommended choice. Must say advantages, 100 baht a person is very cheap, but in fact, plus the cost of transfer or take a taxi, this is not an advantage.
- mini bus
Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
[ advantage ] cheap, 180 baht / person. Convenient, most hotels can deliver.
[ disadvantages ] stopover point, arrival time is affected by other passengers hotel location.
[ applicable crowd ] arrive at phuket during the day; Cost savings; Less than 3 people travel; Not much luggage; Not in a hurry.
A domestic arrival door, you can see a lot of written on the mini bus counter, and international arrivals can see the mini bus counter without going out of the airport, more convenient. Full mini bus to ba Donghai beach only 180 baht, cheap, can also be sent to the hotel, very convenient.
The disadvantage is that the full start, usually have to wait for a while; Stop at the " rest point" halfway to promote some local tour; If there is more baggage, additional charges are also required; After 7 pm mini bus basic will be shut down. In contrast, mini bus is the best choice for visitors who arrive during the day, travel alone, or both.
- taxi
Recommendation index: ☆ ☆ ☆
[ advantage ] available at any time, all hotels are available.
[ disadvantages ] expensive, the driver may sit to the starting price.
[ applicable crowd ] not bad money; In a hurry; Four people travel the most cost - effective.
Phuket didn't have the concept of taxi honest table, has always been a driver to open a price, tourists to cut prices. But the situation at the airport and a little special: most of the night, you don't take a taxi, can't leave, so from the airport to take a taxi price is basically fixed, see the taxi is " just need". The cost of going to padang beach is 800 baht and the price is quite high. High price, but also really helpless.
- book the pick-up machine
Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
[ advantage ] Chinese pick up, cheaper than take a taxi on the spot, no worries, all hotels can arrive.
[ disadvantage ] advance booking is required.
[ applicable crowd ] a person accustomed to convenient and worry-free travel; Poor English; More than 3 people travel; There are old people and children.
If it is three or more people travel, or live in a more remote area, booking a car pick-up than dry mini bus much more cost - effective, also won't be midway sales, also don't have to pay for luggage. Most importantly, how to pick up the car is better than a taxi cost - effective, also don't have to wave stop a taxi to spend energy fighting bravely. All you need to do is find your pick-up at the exit and check your name.
Online order pick-up machine in advance, not only price advantage, in advance of the in the mind have a bottom, more secure. This is the first time I've had a job.
How to choose the local traffic?
1, taxi - chug car
Recommendation index: ☆ ☆ ☆
Pugi island traffic is really expensive! Between two places in the same area, at least 200 baht is required to start. Ba Donghai beach to Karen beach about 10 minutes drive to 300 baht ( after the bargain ). In phuket taxi and chug car base is the same price, the taxi with air conditioning is more comfortable, chug car features more ground gas. But chug car restrictions are relatively large, such as fairy peninsula and the top of the mountain Buddha attractions, chug car is not to go up.
400 baht from padang to Karen beach; 500 baht to Cartagena beach; 500 baht to phuket town; To check the dragon temple 500 baht; To the top of the mountain Buddha 500 baht; To the fairy peninsula 700 baht. These are the one-way prices from padang to those places! In check the dragon temple, the top of the mountain Buddha, fairy peninsula and basic are less than the car. If it is not in a hurry, really don't recommend a taxi, be the driver ruthlessly kill, the in the mind how much will feel not happy.
2, rent a motorcycle or car rental car
Recommendation index: ☆
Many people say that a motorcycle is enough to travel in Thailand. But in phuket, motorcycle rental or car rental need to consider clearly oh, phuket's road condition is a test technology. Between padang and Karen, padang and phuket town is very bad road, old drivers also need to pay special attention to.
Thailand is on the left ( steering wheel on the right ), is opposite to the domestic, the driver in the course of driving in turn please be sure to remember don't make a mistake, because this problem happened too many accidents, especially motorcycles, local speed is very fast, a little accident can cause serious consequences.
In addition to these, remember to wear helmets and beware of the police, the police will check the driver's license or speeding, wearing helmets and other safety matters on certain sections of the road, but to put it bluntly is to want to earn a fortune from tourists. The section between padang and Karen is where the police often " make money".
All Thai car rental is calculated on a 24 - hour basis, phuket's motorcycle rental price is 250 - 300 baht, car rental mortgage passport. The need for a secured passport is also one of the reasons why rental of a car in phuket is not recommended, given the high rate of passport loss in phuket. If you still want to rent so much, suggest renting a car in your own hotel or a more formal place with a store, more reliable.
- panda world shuttle bus
Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Don't rent a car, don't take a taxi, not to be slaughtered, also can how to play? Holding the panda world electronic ticket, padang, Karen, Qatar, check the dragon temple, Xinluo duty-free shop, phuket town, five places to go casually, no number of rides, three days ticket price as long as 20 yuan!

4, chartered travel
Recommended index: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Of all the modes of transportation, charter must be the most convenient, not one. Although panda bus is cheap and easy to use, but after all, there are restrictions on the line, and single charter trip is as long as within the specified time limit, want to go to where, scenic spots you choose, line you decide, it's really free! Although the price is high, but if it is more people travel together, or very cost - effective.
General hotel or roadside travel agent businesses can arrange the charter, but the price is certainly not online booking advantage in advance, and online with customer service to determine the first good trip, Chinese communication is more comfortable!
