A Phuket Airport experience

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 tuktuk.

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.

| Landing on Phuket explains
why this area had been chosen as a scenic background for one
of the old and classic James Bond movies with Sean Connery and
everything else that had thrilled millions of people from all
over the world. |

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.
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.
