 Phuket
International Airport:
Gateway to Khao Lak
One of the most convenient airports in the
world:
less than 60 minutes from Khao Lak
I like
this airport because it is very easy in and
out if you are flying locally - inside
Thailand. You can be off your plane and in
your car and on the road in five to seven
minutes tops. And, at what other
international airport can you park your car
for about US$1.25 per day?
The drive
into Khao Lak will take less than 60
minutes - if driven at a reasonable rate.
Different parts of Phuket are 20-45 minutes
away.
Metered
taxis are available straight out the
arrivals doors and to the right - at the end
of the sidewalk.
Negotiated rate "limousines" are available
if you want a ride to Khao Lak.
Rental
Car or Car Hire agencies are across the
street from the airport but will deliver and
meet you at arrivals if you pre-arranged
your rental/hire.
Phuket
International Airport ranks second in the
country in terms of passenger and cargo
volume.
Below is
a PDF map of the airport and you can easily
locate arrivals, departures, left luggage
and meeting areas. It is a relatively
small airport - you can't really get lost or
miss the people coming to meet you.
You can also download and save that map from
the window below.
