Getting There
Phuket is well-served for transport options. Its airport receives international as well as domestic flights. The bus terminal is 14 hours from the capital and links the island to destinations around Thailand, but perhaps a more exotic means of getting there and away is to island-hop it on a ferry.

Getting Around
Renting cars and motorbikes is easy enough in Phuket, though it's worth taking out insurance - and a helmet if you're taking out a bike. Otherwise, the public transport options around the island - everything from buses to t?k-t?ks are plentiful and cheap.

Phuket International Airport is located approximately 30 kilometers north of the city.Taxis between Phuket City and the airport costs approximately 400 baht but the fare to the beach ranges between 500 baht and 600 baht (The rate may decline now). Minivans charge approximately 80 baht /person to town, but 120 baht/person to Patong, Kata and Karon Beaches.
