The taxi from Bangkok to the airport costs 500BHT and takes normally about 45 min ( please be aware of the traffic jams in Bangkok - it took us already 30 min. @ 9am to be at 300m from the hotel..., but once on the highway it goes quicker).
We're flying with Nokair. This domestic low cost company offers you flights to several destinations in Thailand for less then 4000BHT.
Don Mueang airport!:
Please don't make the same mistake as we did and tell the taxi driver to go to the Don Mueang airport. We just asked him to go to the airport and apparently there are 2 airports... And he brought us to the internationaal one... As the Don Mueang airport is 40min. away from the international one, it really makes a huge difference. Thanks to the very fast taxi driver and the flexibility of Nokair we were just in time to catch the plane.
But it was a real adventure to do so. So I prefer not too. (Now I know why I do always plan to be in the airport 2h in advance 😃)
Nokair:
Nokair even offers you a free snack and water during the flight. Xtra food & drinks are also provided during the flight. A can of coca cola costs you only 50BHT.
The staff is very friendly and the aircraft seems pretty new. Of course there is not that much space on the airplane, but that's why it's low cost and it takes you only 1h15 to get from Bangkok to Phuket.
The view just before landing was incredibly beautiful!
Once arrived in Phuket we took a taxi to Khao Lac. This costs us 2000BHT, but into my opinion they've charged us to much. (We booked a taxi in the airport and i regret we did not just walk out and call a taxi).
I have been told they have to drive with the meter by law and this costs you less. But of course no taxi does... But even then it would have been cheaper. But it may help you to reduce costs wagenveer you're here.
Khao Lak is only 1h drive from Phuket airport.
