Taxi Service in Phuket

Phuket, being the largest and most populous Island of Thailand, has good transportation options too. If you have a thorough knowledge of the province and a tourist guide map, then traveling in Phuket can be easy. Having knowledge of directions and fares is really necessary to avoid swindlers. Among the various modes of transportation in Phuket, the costliest but most convenient one is the Phuket Taxi service. However it is the most well known mode of transportation in Phuket too.

The older version of the present day taxi of Phuket is the Tuk-tuk. It used to be a 3 wheeler vehicle. Nowadays the 4 wheeler people carriage is taking the place of tuk-tuks. These vehicles are open on both sides that allow enough scope of seeing around while traveling. The new taxi of Phuket is more spacious and comfortable too. The Taxi fare for traveling in Phuket starts from 50 Baht for the first two kilometers and 7 Baht per additional kilometre. However, the price can be changed for longer distances. The taxi fare from Phuket airport to Phuket town is around 550 Baht. There are plenty of these taxis available in all parts of Phuket.

It is advised that you book a taxi through some travel agency. Otherwise you might have to indulge in bargaining. Also, the individual taxi owners demand high fare if the day is rainy or some festival is going on.
