tominbkk Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Staying at Thavorn Beach Village and Spa, plane arriving in the morning, around 10;00. Resort will pick me up for 1200 baht. Wondering if taxi would be cheaper? That and its a whole big van and just me. Feel its kind of a waste, money not really an issue but would be nice if it was a little cheaper.

sanmyintmaung Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thavorn is located in secluded location far from Airport so 1200 baht for a van with driver is reasonable. You can also use Grab Taxi app to check the approximate taxi fare from Airport to Thavorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatewash Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) regular meter taxi ฿504 (but they're not going to want to use a meter and 600 may be the best rate without a meter) Grab economy ฿607 https://ride.guru/estimate/Phuket International Airport (HKT) ท่าอากาศยานภูเก็ต, Thep Krasat Tri-Nai Yang Rd, Thalang, Phuket 83110, Thailand/Thavorn Beach Village And Spa Phuket Thailand, 6/2 Moo 6 Nakalay Bay Patong Beach Kathu, Kathu, Phuket 83150, Thailand Would have been only 150 baht on the NEW Smart Bus but you're really midway between two stops (Big C Kamala and Bangla Rd Patong) and it doesn't stop on demand. 200 baht by shared minivan, but not a good option for someone who values their time as it's certainly the slowest, often having a stop at a travel agency to figure out the schedule of who gets dropped where. But it's an alternative. Edited January 17, 2019 by LeungKen Font too large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominbkk Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks both for your useful tips. I'll explore Grab, certainly seems the best $ option. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I recall the Airport to Patong being about 800 baht last year... Thus: 1200 baht, trouble free pickup, from your hotel, directly to the hotel with no hassles getting lost or looking for the hotel seems like a trouble free way of 'getting out of the airport and getting straight out to your resort'.... Personally, I'd just go with the 1200 Baht hotel option and not worry about Taxi's or Grab etc for the sake of $10 extra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisu Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I always use this pre booking taxi service. Never had any problems. Driver will wait at the airport already at arrival with a sign. Fixed price to Kamala for example 740b. No extra costs https://www.taxiphuket.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
