Phuket International Airport

Patong is roughly 40 to 60 minutes by car from Phuket International Airport, which sits at the northern end of the island. Traffic between 4 pm and 7 pm can add 30 to 45 minutes. The Phuket Smart Bus also stops in Patong, taking about an hour from the airport.

Phuket International Airport is about 32 km north of Phuket Town, around 40 minutes by car. An airport bus runs hourly from 05:00 to 19:00 to Phuket Town, with eight stops along the way, and takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. Taxis and Grab are also available.

Kata and Karon beaches are about an hour by car from Phuket airport when traffic is light, and longer during the evening rush. The Phuket Smart Bus serves both beaches on its way to Rawai, taking about two hours to Kata, with stops along the west coast.

Phuket airport has two passenger terminals side by side: the International Terminal for international flights and the Domestic Terminal for flights within Thailand. They are linked by a covered landside walkway of about 10 minutes, and connecting passengers are escorted between them by airline staff.

Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Thai AirAsia, Thai VietJet Air, Nok Air and Thai Lion Air fly domestic routes, mainly to Bangkok. International airlines include Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, IndiGo and Aeroflot, plus several seasonal charter carriers.

Yes. Metered taxi stands are located just outside both the International and Domestic terminals, and an airport surcharge is added to the meter fare. Airport limousine counters inside the terminals offer fixed fares by zone. Use the official stands and counters rather than drivers who approach you inside the hall.

Yes. Route 1 of the Phuket Smart Bus runs roughly hourly from the airport down the west coast to Rawai, stopping at beaches including Patong, Karon and Kata. It leaves from the Domestic Terminal's departures level near Exit 3, not from the arrivals area.

Yes. Grab has official pickup points at Phuket airport, outside Exit 8 at the International Terminal and near Exit 1 at the Domestic Terminal. Prices are shown in the app before booking but can rise at busy times. Other ride-hailing apps may not pick up at the terminal kerb.

Foreign visitors must complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at tdac.immigration.go.th within the three days before arrival. Since 15 September 2026, travelers from most visa-exempt countries can stay 30 days, so check the current rules for your passport before you travel.

Khao Lak is on the mainland north of Phuket, in Phang Nga province, about 90 minutes by road from the airport. Because the airport is at the northern end of the island, it is the closest starting point in Phuket. Taxis from the airport stands and pre-arranged cars both make the trip, which follows the main road north off the island.

Phuket uses Indochina Time (UTC+7) all year, with no daylight saving time. The island is hot throughout the year, with a rainy season from about May to October and drier months from November to April. The local currency is the Thai baht.

Phuket International Airport handled about 17.5 million passengers in 2025, of whom about 10.8 million flew internationally. It is operated by Airports of Thailand (AOT) and has a single 3,000 m runway. International arrivals can bunch together, so immigration waits vary through the day.
