How to get around Phuket? 1. On the island: expensive, fast and almost around the clock - by taxi (or tuk-tuk, for the same price). There is an application - Grab. 2. Between the beaches and to the airport: cheaper, slower and only in the afternoon (from 7 am to 8 pm) - on the Phuket Smart Bus. 3. Between the beaches and neighboring areas: moto-taxi, caught on the roads (men in vests, red or blue), bunch at intersections, will not go far. One such can take away a couple of people, but at his own risk. 4. Around the island: even cheaper, even slower and only until 4 o'clock in the afternoon - on songteo. From life experience: Songteo (the so-called local buses), very colorful, unhurried and without windows (in their usual sense, you will understand). You can stop almost anywhere in the road just by raising your hand. The cost of the trip does not exceed 50 baht (Nai Harn - Phuket Town). Payment at the exit. They walk from any beach in the direction of Phuket Town. Drive enough haphazardly, with an interval of 20 minutes. In principle, on these buses you can travel the whole island, the main thing is to take into account that they travel for hours up to 5 at the latest.
