Ah yes, gorgeous beaches covered in white sand, palm trees, amazing food\u2026 And all the other exotic things you want to experience on your vacation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how to get there, you wonder? Have no fear, dear reader. We\u2019ve got you covered. The airport serves the <strong>Phuket Province <\/strong>and is located about <strong>32 kilometers from the centre of Phuket City<\/strong>. In addition, it is located about 38 kilometers from the <strong>beautiful beach resort town<\/strong> known as <strong>Patong<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this airport guide, we will present you with all the useful and necessary information about HKT. After reading it you\u2019ll know everything there is to know. Let\u2019s start with some basic information about the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, Phuket International Airport is the <strong>third busiest airport in Thailand<\/strong>. Also, we should mention it is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/blog\/best-airports-in-the-world\/\">best airports in all of Asia<\/a>! It owes its popularity mainly to tourism because, as mentioned before, Phuket is gooorgeous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it has <strong>3 terminals<\/strong>. Terminal 1 is for international travelers, terminal 2 is for domestic travelers and terminal X is for charter flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s start with some serious Phuket Airport info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_34 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><label for=\"item\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1'><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/traveling.com\/en\/blog\/phuket-airport\/#Getting_from_Phuket_Airport_to_Phuket\" title=\"Getting from Phuket Airport to Phuket\">Getting from Phuket Airport to Phuket<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/traveling.com\/en\/blog\/phuket-airport\/#Phuket_Airport_airlines\" title=\"Phuket Airport airlines\">Phuket Airport airlines<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/traveling.com\/en\/blog\/phuket-airport\/#Phuket_Airport_facilities\" title=\"Phuket Airport facilities\">Phuket Airport facilities<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/traveling.com\/en\/blog\/phuket-airport\/#Phuket_Airport_accommodation\" title=\"Phuket Airport accommodation\">Phuket Airport accommodation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/traveling.com\/en\/blog\/phuket-airport\/#Phuket_Airport_FAQs\" title=\"Phuket Airport FAQs\">Phuket Airport FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_from_Phuket_Airport_to_Phuket\"><\/span>Getting from Phuket Airport to Phuket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to go <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en-us\/phuket-phuket-airport\">from the airport to Phuket city centre<\/a>, or continue your journey <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en-us\/travel-phuket\">outside of Phuket<\/a>, HKT offers multiple transportation options. Here are all of them described in detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Airport Bus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Airport Bus Phuket service is one of the <strong>cheapest ways to get from Phuket Airport to Phuket City<\/strong>. This is the <strong>official Government bus company<\/strong>. The buses are <strong>bright orange<\/strong> and easy to spot (right in front of the Domestic Terminal exit). They depart every hour. Furthermore, the buses operate from 8:30 am until 8:30 pm. The journey lasts <strong>a bit more than an hour<\/strong> and the price should be around 100 THB per passenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Smart Bus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart Bus is perhaps <strong>the most popular option among travelers<\/strong>. In fact, it is even more popular than taxis. That is because Phuket is known for its \u201ctaxi mafia\u201d. Furthermore, Smart Buses stop at every beach, meaning <strong>there are 15 stops<\/strong>. Ouch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the trip lasts a bit longer than you\u2019d like to after you\u2019ve just landed. However, they depart every hour starting from 9:00 am until 10:30 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price is around 100 THB and you pay directly to the driver. In addition, you can get a QR code or a refillable bus pass if you\u2019re staying a bit longer. Also, keep in mind that <strong>children under 7 ride for free<\/strong>. Lastly, where to board the bus? That&#8217;s easy. They stop near Domestic Terminal Gate 1-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Shared Minibus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling on a budget and feeling lucky this is the perfect option for you. How come? Well, shared minibusses are <strong>very cheap<\/strong>. However, if your stop is the last stop, you\u2019ll get a lot of panoramic sightseeing during your ride. Nonetheless, they are usually <strong>quicker than buses<\/strong>. The prices usually go from 180 to 200 THB, depending on your destination. In addition, you can purchase tickets at <strong>counters throughout the Arrivals hall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Taxi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, Phuket is known for the <strong>\u201ctaxi mafia\u201d<\/strong>. Therefore, this is not a very popular transportation option. However, if you find yourselves in a hurry and without other options, a taxi will do. Just make sure you are getting a taxi and not a limo service (we know, it seems unnecessary to mention but it happens). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is easy to spot them as they are <strong>yellow and red<\/strong>. These taxis are metered and you can find them in front of the exits next to the <strong>counters marked &#8220;taxi meter&#8221;<\/strong>. Keep in mind that you will be charged an additional 100 THB for the airport surcharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can install <strong>Grab, InDriver, or Bolt apps<\/strong> (both similar to Uber) and order your ride, oftentimes for a cheaper price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Car rental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to explore the area on your own and don\u2019t want to depend on taxis and public transfer, the best option is to <strong>hire a car directly at the airport<\/strong>. Car rental counters are located in front of the domestic terminal gate and on the ground floor of the international terminal. They include <strong>internationally known brands<\/strong> such as Avis, Hertz, National, and Budget. The easier option is to also <a href=\"https:\/\/buscroatia.carrentalnet.com\/en-us\">rent a car online<\/a> and avoid potential queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, if you prefer convenient online ways of booking transport in advance, a <a href=\"https:\/\/getbytransfer.com\/\">door-to-door transfer<\/a> is a great option. A professional driver will wait and welcome you at the airport when you arrive and take you directly to your accommodation in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phuket_Airport_airlines\"><\/span>Phuket Airport airlines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phuket Airport serves as a focus city for Bangkok Airways, Nok Air, Thai AirAsia, and Thai Airways International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the most popular international destinations include <strong>Singapore Changi Airport<\/strong>, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, and Hong Kong Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular domestic routes are the ones to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/blog\/bangkok-suvarnabhumi-airport\/\">Bangkok\u2013Suvarnabhumi<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/blog\/bangkok-don-mueang-airport\/\">Bangkok\u2013Don Mueang<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/Traveling.com\/en\/blog\/chiang-mai-airport\/\">Chiang Mai airports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the list of the <strong>most important airlines<\/strong> offering departures and arrivals from HKT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>AirAsia&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bangkok Airways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cathay Pacific<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jetstar Asia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Juneyao Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malaysia Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nok Air<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shanghai Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Singapore Airlines&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spring Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai AirAsia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai Lion Air<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai Smile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thai VietJet Air<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phuket_Airport_facilities\"><\/span>Phuket Airport facilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For passengers on a layover or awaiting their flight, the airport offers a number of services and amenities.
