Taxi Airport To Hotel

[needforspeed]

What is the rate with a taxi from Phuket Airport to Hilton Hotel.

And any suggestions with getting and traveling by Taxi in Phuket.

Thanks

Take a meter taxi, charge will be 100 baht for the airport and around 400 to the driver.

When you exit the terminal turn right, you'll find them after 50 meters.

Just so you're prepared. Last time I used the airport taxi service I had to wait about 20 minutes, which isn't too bad, but people joining the queue right behind me were told 30 minute to an hour wait, and the queue got much longer after that, so who knows how long they had to wait. I saw the frustration on their faces, so I thought if you were prepared for the worst you would be better equipped to take it in your stride. On a plus note, the driver was a nice fella, and and I was still alive when I got home, which may not have been the case, if I had taken a Limo, (the first people you will come across, and need to walk straight past, as you leave the terminal) so it's swings and roundabouts.

I was at the airport about 18.00 yesterday and I was surprised to see 4 meter taxis waiting.
