Phuket Airport

The nice Phuket airport handles around 5 million tourists from all over the world.

Soon new facilities are expected to provide an even better service to all domestic and International travelers.

Everything is well organized on Phuket and it is easy and affordable to connect to any destination on the island by taxi or minibus.

The airport itself is compact and tidy with no big distances to overcome.

Staff and immigration are very supportive and friendly though visitors are asked to be a little bit patient and gentle when it comes to language abilities.

English is still not at peak level everywhere and foreign visitors will be better off as soon as they slow down with their talking speed and chose an easy to understand vocabulary.

Very positive is, that Phuket airport connects with more and more other Asian destinations in Malaysia, Singapore etc.

One of the most solid airlines is Air Asia with very friendly and competent services and it can be truly pleasure to fly with them around Asia at highly competitive rates.

Interesting information about Phuket with also videos can be found at Club Absolute TV coming straight from the Island.

In summer 2007 Phuket airport faced a horrible plane crash when a 123go jet failed to land safely. Most passengers died despite massive efforts shown by the Thai authorities and hard working medical experts.
