Travel story
Taxis and Tuk Tuks in Phuket are the most popular form of transport among tourists. Since most hotels are located very close to the beach and popular tourist spots, it is easier to just walk to and from your hotel to most places. However, if you are coming from the airport or if you want to visit other areas which are not close to your hotel, you can hire a taxi or a tuk tuk.
Most tourists do not prefer other forms of transport like buses or motorbike taxis. Buses are slower because they tend to stop at multiple places, while motorbike taxis are suitable only for solo travellers and are not very comfortable. Here are the two most popular ways to get around and explore Phuket on your holidays.
To hire a taxi, you can either find one at a taxi stand or book using an app. Although Uber no longer operates in Thailand, you can still get a similar sort of service using the Grab Taxi app. You'll find tuk tuks everywhere around Phuket. To hire one, just let the driver know your destination, finalise the price and get on it.
