transfer
Knowledgeable people, tell me, please, how to organize a transfer from the airport to the hotel? We booked a hotel (Phuket), but it does not provide a transfer. Do I need to book this service somewhere in advance or catch a taxi upon arrival? We fly to Tai for the first time, hence the question. Who does not complicate, share your experience!) Thank you in advance!

Don't worry about the transfer. When you exit Phuket airport, you will see a lot of taxis (including Tuk-Tuk taxi-boxes) Thais speak English condescendingly, memorize or type the phrase about the transfer with the name of the hotel. I don't know English at all, but everything worked out.

Don't even worry. At the airport, you will simply be attacked with offers of taxis or minibuses, which cost a little less than a taxi, but less comfort and longer rides, with stops to drop off other passengers. A tourist in Thailand will not go unnoticed, will not be left without attention, even if he is a savage))) We only drive a savage, everything is fine! Yes, if a taxi driver on the way to the hotel "accidentally" stops by some kind of travel agency and they start offering tours for excursions there, do not take it in any case - the prices are terribly overpriced. Take it near your hotel - there are a lot of offers. Have a nice rest!!!

Tell me, please, what about luggage, if we consider mini-basses, tuk-tuks ??? where do all the bags fit?) and another question - is payment for this type of transport charged per person or per route? And how do you know when to leave?

Payment on a tuk-tuk is per person, so it is better to take a taxi and pay for the route. Then you will still look for a hotel with bags. The taxi will take you to the porch of the hotel, you only need to show the driver on the printout the name of the hotel and the address. Traveling in Phuket to Patong or Karon is quite long, and the taxi is air-conditioned and comfortable to sit. And tuk-tuks are for short trips without suitcases. The second option is mini-basses, they are also air-conditioned, it comes out a little cheaper than a taxi. We were driving this back from the hotel to the airport and ordered it the day before at some office there and he picked us up from the hotel and picked up 8 more people along the way, so it’s better to order earlier so as not to be late for the flight.
