Phuket Airport Bus

[asiafrenz]

Hi, anyone here who has taken the Phuket Airport Bus or is a regular passenger of the Airport Bus would like to share where exactly does the Airport Bus stop along the way from the Airport to Phuket Town and from Phuket Town to Airport? I know from their website that they had indicated the name of the place they are stopping but it was not very specific. As I have never taken this bus before and would be keen to try out this bus to get from Tesco Lotus to the airport, so it would be good to know where to wait for the bus? Is the bus stopping at a bus stand (those with shelter and a name-plate indicating that it is a bus stop) at each location? I have walked along the stretch of bypass road outside Tesco Lotus a couple of times but did not see any specific Airport Bus stop or not even seen any Airport Bus going pass when I has there.

If you know, please enlighten me where exactly the Airport Bus stop at Tesco Lotus area when it comes from the Airport and when it is going to the Airport (opposite direction)? Also is the time schedulefor their bus indicated on their website pretty much accurate (say plus/minus 5mins)?

Thanks much.

On their web site they suggest you "bus-hike" like the locals do.

I suppose you could try stepping out in front of the first yellow bus you see with Airport written on the front and hope they see you waving.

And then hope they stop from 100ks per hour to pick up a farang.
