234872_1469957439 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'll be flying into Hat Yai airport soon. Is there a songthaew from near the Airport to the main bus station? Or other public transport? Where do they leave from? Or - possibly - is it possible to grab a minibus straight from the airport to go over the border - ideally to Penang?

Popular Post Stocky Posted February 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Yes, the blue songthaews covers the airport. The stop is just the other side of the car park, there's a shelter with seating. Route goes to both the minibus station near Tesco Lotus 2 and the main bus station near Central Festival. Fare from the airport is Bht30 I think. There's a minibus shuttle service to downtown for Bht 100 per person. Taxi meter has a fixed fare of Bht250 into town, and the AOT Limo service is Bht300 to town. I don't think you can get a bus direct to the border and certainly not one that will cross the border from the airport. We do have a Malindo Air flight from Hat Yai to Penang on M-W-F-Su. .

phuketsub Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 There used to be an 'agent' company that ran a van shuttle from Hat Yai to Penang, and they had offices in both cities. I used it a few times and they have (or had) good contacts with Thai embassy staff. Unfortunately it has been a long time and I don't know if they are still in operation. I don't even remember their name! Maybe some other poster can help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocky Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) As of July 13th there's now a minibus shuttle from Hat Yai airport to Hat Yai, calling at both the big bus and minivan terminals. Shuttle runs every hour on the hour at a flat fee of Bht60 per person. We also have Grab Taxi in Hat Yai as of last month.
