1. Around the island: expensive, fast and almost around the clock - by taxi (or tuk-tuk, at the same price). There is an application - Grab. 2. Between the beaches and to the airport: cheaper, slower and only during the day (from 7 am to 8 pm) - by Phuket Smart Bus. 3. Between beaches and neighboring areas: moto-taxi, caught on the roads (men in vests, red or blue), huddle at intersections, will not go far. One such person can take away a couple of people, but at his own risk. 4. On the island: even cheaper, even slower and only until 4 p.m. - on songteo. From life experience: Songteo (the so-called local buses) are very colorful, unhurried and without windows (in their usual sense, you will understand). You can stop almost anywhere on 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. They drive quite haphazardly, with an interval of 20 minutes. In principle, you can travel the whole island on these buses, the main thing is to take into account that they travel up to 5 hours at the latest
