Getting from Phuket airport to the city center

Phuket is served by Phuket International Airport (HKT), located approximately 32 km northwest of Phuket Town. The airport offers a variety of airport transfers to city center destinations including taxis, minivans, buses, and private transfers. Journey times typically range from 45 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic conditions and your final destination. Phuket Town serves as the main urban center, though many travelers also head to beach areas such as Patong, Kata, or Karon.

Notes:

  • Prices in THB; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Traffic between the airport and beach areas can be heavy, especially during peak tourist season (November to April).
  • Metered taxis charge a THB 100 airport surcharge on top of the meter fare.
  • The Smart Bus operates along a fixed route with stops at major beaches and Phuket Town.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
