    A small but well organized Airport for both Domestic & international Flights, lots of retail & coffee Shops at the entrance Hall, If you are arrivals bargain with taxi kiosk’s cuz they will trick you.

    Take a free SIM card from True before the passport control and load it in 7/11. You can get unlimited internet for 30 days with 3G+ (but don't watch movies with it, high speed disappears after 1gb:)

    By the exits are big blue posters on the walls warning you of the maximum allowed taxi fares to various parts of the island. Don't let yourself get cheated by the people pushing you in the terminal!

    Phuket G-tip: Tuk-tuks do not have meters. Always ask for a price before getting into a taxi or a tuk-tuk and don’t hesitate to bargain! Short distances around town should not cost more than 40 baht. Read more

    After clearing immigration, for visitors, remember to take a free 3G Tourist Inter SIM from the TRUE MOVE counter. Passport number to register and topup the SIM card at any 7 11 or Family mart outlets

    Phuket airport is a long way from Phuket town and Patong. Shared buses are the main transport and cost 180 baht pp. Tales about an hour (once they leave) to Patong.

    A must visit place for any tourist, the Big Buddha stands on top of the Nakkerd Hills and is visible from most of the southern region. It's the best place to take in the sights of the city.

    Still amazing Airport although relatively small , online check in make you bypass the queue to simply drop bags, prayer place & free charger is important for me, shortage of food choices

    Arrival: Loads of money changers and telco operator kiosks. Head towards the domestic terminal for the Grab (E-hailing) pick up point. There are staff there to assist you, and also free WIFI.

    Bangkok Airways has a beautiful lounge in both the international and domestic departure areas with lots of yummy food! Beware they make you check any bag more than 5kg.

    Simple & small airport just for traveller. Anything can be find here. But they are in the making of new terminal just beside the current airport.

    Taxi prices in Phuket are expensive in general. If you're travelling solo or as a couple, get a mini bus to your hotel instead for 150-200THB/person. You could easily spot them as you exit customs.

    International arrivals are efficient and the small terminal is quick to get through. At busy times, book the VIP immigration service, you'll jump the queues and be through in minutes!

    Make sure you stop on the correct floor otherwise have to walk and turn (1st floor is arrival, 2ND floor for departurt to 1St floor) but to buy ticket must get to 1st floor..

    Amazing continued transformation! Still with a laid back atmosphere. But with only one lift to get from Arrivals/can rentals to Departure, can be quite congested

    LONG ride, but there is a public bus option for ~170 baht. It travels between the airport and Rawai (southern tip of the island), and stops at Patong, Kata Beach etc.

    For a cheaper option to directly to your hotel, especially if you’re traveling solo, go get a minivan when you take the farthest exit on your left.

    Get a window seat flying in to watch the turquoise water & karst landscape below. Take the airport bus into town for 120 Baht per person. Runs hourly.

    Exit the airport and turn right towards the corner taxi stand, taximeter to the Pier or Phuket Town will cost you between 500-600 bahts, during low season you can bargain it down to 300 bahts max.

    A very compact airport and the check in counter was a bit too cramped together. But the view inside the terminal is awesome. Not many food outlets here, eats elsewhere before getting here

    crowded airport where you need to get in a line every second. Needs refurbishment, such a touristic place deserves a better one. Views during landing and take-off are amazing, don't miss it:

    The airport’s kind of warm, especially in the domestic departures area. Once past security, there are food options for the domestic terminal - Burger King, Subway, Bintang cafe, The Coffee Club etc.

    My advices always is to come earlier since it's still a small airport and normally you need to wait for nearly an hour to get check-in.

    The mini-buses you need to take from here will take you to a "booking-agency". They'll get pissed if you don't book a hotel with them, so just tell them you've already found one.

    Come early to the airport and get your last thai food fix at the Thai airways restaurant before immigration. Very authentic and not at all bad. Try the steamed fishballs, really fresh and bouncy.

    Make sure you plan your trip ahead. If you're arriving anytime before 7am, there are no minibuses. If you're traveling alone, mini buses are ideal as its only THB180 to Patong from the airport.

    Good location, beside the sea .. nice view, friendly airport staff .. Might be a bit crowded at times but still big enough and orderly P.s. No Smoking Area inside the airport 🚭

    Always get a taxi from the airport to your hotel. It’s a bit more expensive but less faff than getting the bus or taxi bus - trust me on that one

    Mini bus from the Phuket airport to Patong will stop the Phuket vacation travel office in out of nowhere. Ladies will take a ticket off you and ask for destination. They will try to sell tour package

    For great (and proper) airport food, head up to the third floor where you'll find Thai Airways Restaurant. Good food at affordable prices!

    Arrive with ample time before your flight. Restaurant options on the inside are limited, eat before going through passport control.

    Make sure you get a metered taxi. On the right outside the airport. Ask to make sure the cab has air conditioning (I baked like a pie).

    Take Airport bus to town 100-120, Patong 150 (~1hr). You can take airport bus to Central and then take local bus to the pier for Phi Phi island.

    Get here earlier (3hrs) as Immigration is really busy. Smoking room is really smoky. Eat before departure in town! Rip off shopping !
