Question by claudia mei: Are metered taxis the greatest way to get to Patong seashore from Phuket airport?
I have a celebration of 7 individuals, so would call for 2 taxis. Is there MPV kind /even bigger capability metered taxi such that all can travel collectively?

undoubtedly. Just make confident you and the taxi driver talk about the price tag first. Ask about how considerably it will cost, have them Create IT DOWN, that way, he cannot get ‘detours’ and cost you further or instantly smack the meter and charge you an added $ 20

    Yes, they will only charge you 70 baht per km which is not bad considering the high cost of living in Thailand.

    I don´t think so. Because you need 2 taxis. When you come out of the airport (or even before) lots of taxi drivers or companies come to you to bring you to Patong beach. Don´t say yes the first few times and look around to know what you have to pay. Than of course try to bargain. A van for 7 people would be a problem.

    Good luck and enjoy your stay in Phuket.

    its not just the passengers you have a lot of luggage to.
    you should be able to get a taxi for between 700 – 800 baht but you will end up getting 3 taxi’s bcause of luggage.
    try this site http://www.busphuket.com – buses run from Airport 06.30 until 20.41 and return from Patong from 05.30 until 18.30.
    Taxi will take about 40 mins bus 45 -60 mins.
    Have a Wonderful trime in The Land of Smiles
