Getting Around Phuket
Ferries, speedboats, taxis, and buses — everything you need to get around
Ferry & Speedboat
Hop between Phuket, Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and the Similan Islands. Most ferries depart from Rassada Pier.
Grab & Taxis
Grab is the most reliable and fair-priced option in Phuket. Metered taxis are rare — agree on a price before you get in.
Tuk-Tuks
Fun but pricey for tourists. Best for short hops within a town. Always negotiate the fare upfront.
Scooter Rental
The most flexible way to explore. Rentals from ~200 THB/day. International driving permit recommended.
Songthaews
Shared red pick-up trucks running fixed routes between towns — the cheapest option at 30–50 THB per trip.
Airport Transfer
Phuket Airport is in the north. Grab is cheapest; official taxis ~600 THB. Bus to Phuket Town ~100 THB.
