With the taxis being so overpriced, is there any way to get to Patong cheaply,(other than walking)?

If you can afford to fly to Thailand and reside on Phuket then a taxi is the most convenient and efficient way to get to Patong.  I don't buy the great ripoff.

Meh it's not too expensive really, it's the short hops around that take the piss in all honestly.

Why transfer - get the direct bus to Patong.

OP, if you will be staying at a hotel you might ask them at what price they can arrange a transfer.

You should visit Phuket sometime woo. The taxi ride is often more expensive than the flight in.

The last time I called the numbers at that site 076-328-291, 084-065-2122 (3 mo's ago)  to confirm they were still operating to the airport, I was told the service was not operating anymore due to lack of customers. The time before that (6 mo's go) the operators of the bus arranged a private shared van for us going to the airport. It was 150B. So I suggest you call first.
 
Shared vans operated by one of the two limousine companies there are probably going to be the cheapest way at 200B last I checked. Edited August 14, 2014 by NomadJoe

And once you get here, the tuk-tuks are often more expensive than a night out.
