How much does it cost to charter a car in Phuket? What kind of transportation is available in Phuket? What is the price of the sudden train in Phuket?

Speaking of the traffic in Phuket, it is quite convenient. You can look at some related strategies when you go. Let's take a look at the internal and external traffic in Phuket. I believe it will bring you a lot of help. Basically, everyone knows the cost.

How to get to Phuket Airport Bus?

There is an airport bus in Phuket, which is operated by the government and designed for local residents. The final destination is Phuket Town. If you live on three beaches, there is no bus, so you have to change trains halfway.

Cost: 30- 100 baht, to be collected by installments.

Advantages: the cheapest.

Disadvantages: few shifts, long ride time and difficult site selection.

Suitable for the crowd: small partners who arrive by white flight, have less luggage, and are particularly in no hurry.

Minibus

If the flight arrives during the day, you can choose a minibus to carpool to the hotel. When you walk out of the airport, you will see the mini.

The bus counter is clearly marked. Just tell the staff the name of the hotel and they will take you to your destination, but it usually takes a while because the driver will not leave until he has enough cars.

Cost: 180-200 baht/person

Advantages: it's cheap and can be reached by most hotels.

Disadvantages: I will stop halfway to recommend the trip, because I have to wait until the car is full, so I basically stop at night, and the delivery time is long, and there is an extra charge for more luggage.

Suitable for the crowd: arrive by white flight, don't worry, travel alone or two people.

Ordinary taxi

When you leave the airport, turn right, and you will see a booth that says taxi meter. You can tell the staff where to go during the day, and then he will write you a small ticket to the driver. If the staff is not here at night, just ask the driver directly.

Cost: 800- 1000 baht/car, subject to negotiation.

Advantages: convenient, available at any time, the hotel can deliver goods to your door.

Disadvantages: it is expensive and may leave at night, and the language barrier may send it to the wrong hotel (there are too many hotels in Phuket, not intentionally).

Suitable for the crowd: not bad money, arrive at night, good English.

Shuttle transfer

To book the pick-up and drop-off plane online in advance, you need to tell the seller the arrival time and flight information, get your luggage off the plane and go directly out of the airport gate. There will be a special car waiting for the reception hotel in a specific area at the airport.

Cost: 550-800 baht/car, depending on the number of people, choose different models.

Advantages: It is cheaper than calling a taxi on the spot, and the 24-hour shuttle bus can be delivered to hotels all over the island.

Disadvantages: Need to book in advance.

Suitable for the crowd: like convenience and worry, poor sense of security, poor English, accompanied by the elderly and children.

The traffic on the island is more expensive in Phuket! Just start at 200-400 baht, which is extremely underdeveloped. Xiao Yuan still introduces the main modes of transportation on the island first, so friends can choose the mode that suits them according to their own needs.

double bus

There are two buses in Phuket, which go back and forth between the beach and Phuket town, and there is no transportation between the beaches. The main station is in the center of Phuket Town. The car signaled to stop. When you want to get off, just press the electric bell on the car body.

Cost: 30-50 baht/car

Advantages: cheap, you can experience local life.

Disadvantages: long time, many people, no air conditioning and few Thai stations.

Ordinary taxi

TuTu cars and taxis are the most common means of transportation in Phuket. Secretly tell a friend: In Thailand, only cars with white characters on a green background and black characters on a yellow background are eligible to carry passengers legally. Cars with other licenses are private cars, which are not allowed to solicit customers according to the regulations, which is what we commonly call black cars.

Cost: 200-800 baht/car

Advantages: On call, there is air conditioning in the car.

Disadvantages: No meter, no price, many private cars.

trailer

Phuket tugboat is an alternative "taxi" (the price is equivalent). If the distance is not far or there is activity inside the beach, you can choose to take a tugboat. There is no air conditioning. Be sure to negotiate the price (bargain) before you sit down. If it is not good, change it.

Cost: 200-800 baht/car

Advantages: it has local characteristics, beckons and stops, and can seat 6 people.

Disadvantages: you have to bargain, the driver doesn't know English, and you can't go to scenic spots such as Mountain Buddha.

Rent a motorcycle

Many friends like to rent motorcycles, but Xiao Yuan wants to remind everyone that the road in Phuket is not easy and steep. Riding a motorcycle is a bit dangerous because it is built on a mountain. Local people drive fast, and it is generally not recommended to rent motorcycles. But you still like a lot of friends. This is a matter of opinion, choose according to your own situation.

Cost: 150-300 baht/vehicle

Advantages: free, convenient, fashionable and cheap.

Disadvantages: It's dangerous. Make sure you can drive before renting. There will be police on the road to check your driver's license and helmet, and you must bring your passport when renting.

To charter a bus/train/coach

It is a good choice to charter a car around the island and visit different beaches. Overlooking Karen Observation Deck, go to Shenxian Peninsula to watch the sunset, eat seafood in Ravi Market, go to Chalong Temple, worship Buddha at the top of the mountain, stroll through the old street of Phuket Town, weekend market and so on.

Cost: 1500-3000 baht/vehicle

Advantages: convenient, no need to consider planning routes, no need to consider how to drive, and go wherever you want.

Disadvantages: it needs to be booked in advance and the price is expensive.

Rent a car

The major car rental companies in Phuket have car rental counters at the airport, and there are also car rental points on the urban roadside. You can book in advance in China or go to the airport to go through temporary formalities, and take the car and fill it up, and charge it by the day.

Cost: 1200-2000 baht/vehicle

Advantages: free and cheap.

Disadvantages: bad road conditions, need driver's license and driving experience.

Tugboat Puji Tugboat is an alternative "taxi" (the price is equivalent). Its price is not too cheap, but it is the most commonly used means of transportation, and it is generally red. Tugboats in Phuket are different from those in Bangkok. It is converted from a minivan and can seat about 4 people. Before you sit down, you should first talk about the price (bargaining). If it is not good, change it. There are many choices. The following are the reference prices:

Badong Beach to Kalun/Kata Beach: 300-400 baht per car.

From Badong Beach to Phuket Town: 400-500 baht/car.

From Karen Beach to Kata Beach: 300-350 baht/car.

From Kata Beach to Phuket Town: 400-500 baht per car.

From Badong Beach to the airport: 500_800 baht per vehicle.

The two cars in Phuket are different from those in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Although it is still a pickup truck, the model is longer and more people can ride. Generally, it is mostly blue, which is more similar to acting as a local "bus". Price is also the cheapest mode of transportation. Sometimes the car will play awkward songs, which is still worth experiencing. Most of these two cars are concentrated in Phuket Town and Badong Beach. The price of two cars varies from 25 to 40 baht per person, depending on the distance. There are no fixed stops, and most of them are taken by locals. The operation time is concentrated at 7:00- 18:00. The following are the reference prices:

Phuket Town to Patong Beach: 25 baht/person

Phuket Town to Kata Beach: 30 baht/person

Phuket Town to Karen Beach: 35 baht/person

Phuket Town to Kamara/Ravi Beach: 40 baht/person.

(Note: It is very convenient for two cars to travel to and from Phuket Town and the beach. The trips between the beaches are mainly sudden cars and taxis. )
