To avoid the notorious Phuket Airport shared-minivan \"tour agency stop\" and 800–1,000 THB taxi mafia queues, either 1) Pre-Book a Private Airport Car on Klook (~650–750 THB / $19–$22 total per car, driver waits at Arrivals and goes straight to your resort), or 2) Take the Blue Phuket Smart Bus from Domestic Exit 3 (100 THB / $2.95 flat fare to Surin, Kamala, Patong, Karon, Kata & Rawai).

🏢 Terminals & Station Layout
International Terminal and Domestic Terminal sit adjacent to each other (3-minute walk). The Phuket Smart Bus boards outside the Domestic Terminal (Exit 3).
⚠️ Taxi Rules & Scams to Avoid
Shared minivans sold inside the terminal often wait until 8–10 seats are full and make a mandatory 15-minute stop at a tour agency office along the highway to try to sell boat trips. Pre-booking a private car on Klook ($18–$24 per car) avoids all stops.
🌙 Late-Night Arrivals (After Midnight)
The Phuket Smart Bus ends around 22:30–23:00. For late arrivals heading to Patong, Kata, or Karon, pre-book a private car so your driver tracks your flight.
