Phuket is a relatively small island. There are a variety of transportation options, ranging from buses, tuk tuks, taxis, cars, motorbikes and boats, for getting around Phuket. Your destination, budget, and the time of day will determine which choice is best for you.
You can download the Grab app to your phone and use that to hail a taxi, SUV, or limousine. Simply enter your location and destination, and nearby taxis will bid on the job. You’ll get a price estimate, but the final fee will be determined by the meter. The metered rate will include a surcharge for pickup.
Taxis with private firms may charge a fixed rate rather than using a meter, which typically ends up costing more than a metered taxi.
What to do in Phuket?
We recommend planning a few day trips, then once in Phuket and you can adjust your plan according to your mood (or the weather). Note that some tours may look more expensive than others, but those usually offer a better experience: less crowded, better service and overall: a better experience.
