Phuket Taxis
& Tuk-tuks:
Phuket's "taxi mafia"
and more

At the Airport:  Walk out of the arrivals hall and look to your right. There is a large metered taxi kiosk at the south end of the concourse.

Away from the Airport: Get a business card from your taxi driver - they can often come and get you and take you where you need to go.  Tuk-tuk and "limousine" services will often not allow them to pick you up in some locations - and then you must negotiate a rate.

Keep an eye out for posted tuk-tuk and limousine prices to different locations around the island. Do your best to be sure you don't pay more than the legal rate, though at times you will need to pay whatever is asked to get where you want to go.

If you are going anywhere remote, it is usually best to negotiate for the taxi or tuk-tuk to return and pick you up at a specified time or to stay with you during your visit there.
