Chivas Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Booked an Hotel for November which are offering a pick up from Airport for a charge obviously....

LivinginKata Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 What's the hotel charge for taxi service ? Compare with https://www.phuketshuttle.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Identical as it turns out 750 Baht so go with Hotel pick up you suggest ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Both the hotel and Phuketshuttle offer no BS. Either will be okay. Edited September 21, 2015 by Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Airport bus 120-150 baht to Patong. Am not going on the Bus with my Partner. She'll think I'm a Peasant....... Tell her you will pay the 250 baht for the both of you on the bus, and you will give her the difference, 500 baht. I'm sure she will love the bus idea.

hkt83100 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Good idea to take the bus, especially since you will take a Tuk-Tuk/Taxi in Patong to go from the bus station to the hotel. Poof! There goes your benefit of the bus tariff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSn Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is there an airport bus to Karon as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Is there an airport bus to Karon as well? The airport bus to Patong was planned to continue through to Karon and Kata. But the taxi mafia would not allow that. Maybe one day this extension to the route will be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Can I just say that the comment about my Partner thinking I was a Peasant if we took the bus was actually tongue in cheek ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks LivinginKata, I assume this bus uses the same stop at the Airport as the Airport bus for Phuket town? For those who are interested, here is the schedule for this bus: http://www.phuketairportbusexpress.com/en/%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%B2 Found this video and article: http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-airport-bus-service-starts-with-no-problems-40915.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
