This may seem like an easy question to answer, but many people ask us about travel arrangements for flights, buses, ferries, taxis etc., so this page will give you some more information and web links to make your travels in Thailand much easier. Note that schedules are subject to change so you are advised to double check before making any bookings! Phuket International Airport is in the North of Phuket Island, and the distance from the major tourist beaches (Patong, Karon, Kata) surprises many people. It may take 1 hour or more by taxi to reach your hotel or our office. The closest beaches are Nai Yang and Bang Tao, where you find some of the most luxurious hotels in Phuket. The JW Marriott is also very close to the airport. From the airport, you have 3 choices to reach your hotel or our office. There are official airport limousine taxis, which are booked in the arrivals hall and cost about 900-1000 Baht. Meter Taxis wait outside the hall to the right and are a couple of hundred Baht cheaper.

Arrivals & Departures - Flight Statusmotorcycle repairs matlock Phuket Airport Information by AOTbest 600cc standard motorcycle Phuket airport is the second largest in Thailand in terms of passenger volume. There are direct flights from Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Osaka, Australia, the middle East and in the high season charter flights from Europe. Most other international flights arrive via Bangkok. Thai Airways is the largest Thai airline, but there are others. From Bangkok there are at least 10 daily flights, but advance bookings are a very good idea in the peak season (December/January) and in mid April at the time of the Songkran Festival. There is plenty of information on the web about hotels in Phuket. It is big business and there are hundreds of hotels to suit all budgets, though the backpacker market is in short supply!

More hotels are still being built, and supply is beginning to overtake demand, especially in the "low" season from May - September, where hotel prices are extremely low. Sunrise Divers is not a hotel booking agent, though we have some information and can book a few hotels here in Karon Beach. If you plan to dive with us, it makes sense to stay close to us.

The morning ferries from Phi Phi start about 8:30am, with some afternoon ferries at about 1:30pm. Ferry tickets are booked at local travel agents. You can get a ferry from Krabi to Phuket via Phi Phi, though it will be quicker to take a minibus, which you can book locally in Krabi (about 3 hours). There are several ferry terminals in Phuket Town, about 45 minutes from here - you will need to take a taxi from the terminal, which should be about 300 Baht, or you may be able to arrange transfers to/from the terminal when you buy the ticket.

Please note - we do not sell Phi Phi ferry tickets. Phuket - Phi Phi - Krabi Ferry Schedules In Thailand, there are several types of bus, ranging from 2nd class non-aircon up to VIP buses with hostess service. From Bangkok, it is wise to book a VIP bus, which will take about 12 hours, costing about 750 Baht. Most hotels and guesthouses in Bangkok can help you with bus tickets. Flying is much quicker, but the buses are much cheaper! Travel agents will also sell tickets for the VIP buses. Tickets for the normal buses are usually bought at the bus station. The Phuket long distance bus station is in Phuket Town.
