No minibus in airport

[Chalong circle]

Landed today at 5.30 PM in Phuket. Went to the booths selling minibus tickets in domestic airport. First one : no have. Second one : no have. 3,4,5 no have. But have taxi. Wanted to go to chalong Circle. 1 100  bahts. my turn to say. : no Have. In the end and probably because i speak thai with south accent, find a taxi for 700 bahts.

My question is : where are the minibus ?

5:30pm? Stuck in (mainly construction) traffic.

 

If I was a taxi driver I would avoid the morning and evening rush hours - traffic on Phuket is a nightmare, especially as it is peak season, and so it's not worth the hassle for them.

I didn’t know there was a minibus. I know there’s an airport bus every half hour I think , is it called a smart bus . Whatever , traffic is horrendous.
