FAQs on Phuket

Otherwise, two kinds of buses also ply - The blue open-air buses called •the Sangtaewê run between the main resorts and the Phuket town, while the air-conditioned micro buses plies with Phuket town area. Although itês a cheaper option but there is no particular schedule for the buses. Expect a 20-30 minutes of waiting time between two buses. Other main transportation is tuk tuks that are good for short distance travelling say about 30 minutes. Their small size makes it uncomfortable for long distance. Another cheaper option, the tuk tuk drivers charge about TBH 100 for short distance especially in resort area like Patong.
