There are a few direct flights from Europe to Phuket, by together with large vacation charter flights.
From Bangkok yous create got plenty of domestic flights amongst a whole bunch of airlines. Most depart from the novel aerodrome (Suvarnabhumi), though some also depart from the quondam aerodrome (Don Muang). See links below.

Phuket Airport
Phuket International Airport is non really large, has a unmarried runway, unmarried terminal together with the queues at immigration tin post away live long inwards altitude season. The aerodrome is inwards the due north of Phuket together with it oftentimes surprises visitors that the taxi ride to their hotel is hence long.

From Phuket Airport, yous create got a selection of shipping to hit your hotel. Some people complain close taxis beingness a rip off, but I hollo upward 500 - 600 Baht for a 40km ride is pretty reasonable. There are aerodrome limos, metered taxis (which tend to operate out a niggling cheaper), or yous tin post away suit pick upward inwards advance amongst your hotel, dive oculus etc... Booking your taxi inwards advance is a keen stress saver. Its prissy to walk out of the terminal together with run into someone belongings upward your name!
Cheaper options - yous tin post away create got a shared minibus which departs when amount together with charges close 160 - 180 Baht per mortal to the southern beaches. Cheaper, but slower. You powerfulness live lucky together with live the starting fourth dimension to drib off, or yous powerfulness live the last. Also, yous are almost certain to live dropped starting fourth dimension at a locomote agent who volition effort to sell yous tours or a room if you've non already arranged it. The taxi together with minibus drivers larn commission. Again, a prearranged individual pick upward has the wages - they volition create got yous direct where yous desire to go.
There is straightaway an aerodrome motorcoach service too, but this runs exclusively into Phuket City together with non to the beaches. Very inexpensive - only 85 Baht from aerodrome to town. If yous conception on staying inwards Phuket Town, great. If yous together with hence desire to larn to the beaches, yous create got to create got a tuk tuk or taxi from the motorcoach station which volition cost some 300 Baht. ** Update July 2013 - at that spot is straightaway a motorcoach from the aerodrome to Patong also.

Long Distance Bus Services
Thailand has a really skillful motorcoach service. I create got taken the VIP buses many times, yous are good looked later together with if it's a nighttime motorcoach yous tin post away almost sleep. Buses are the preferred method of locomote for budget travelers, though the prices offered past times the budget airlines these days are really tempting. Fly from Bangkok inwards eighty minutes or create got a 12 hr overnight bus...? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 motorcoach inwards the hateful solar daytime fourth dimension agency yous tin post away run into some countryside, though the VIP buses tend to live almost non halt hence yous don't run into much local life. If yous actually desire to mingle amongst the masses, create got a cheaper 2d degree motorcoach or fifty-fifty a non aircon motorcoach for shorter trips.
Warning: There are many reports on locomote forums close bags going missing or items beingness stolen on long motorcoach rides, specially those organised past times individual companies together with especially those booked inwards backpacker areas similar Khao San Road, Bangkok. Better to volume the motorcoach at the motorcoach station yourself. The regime run VIP buses are excellent. The individual companies create got wages of the sheep mentality of many backpackers. If yous create got the buses that the locals take, yous should non create got whatever problems. But its mutual feel when traveling to bear all actually valuable materials on your mortal together with non inwards checked luggage, right? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 skillful fashion to spot a thief off is to pack your muddied laundry on the hand off of your backpack. Makes certain it's prissy together with stinky.

There is utter of edifice a novel terminal due north of the oculus which the taxi drivers volition love! If arriving past times motorcoach together with needing onward transfer to the beaches, at that spot are plenty of taxis waiting for you.
