Very interested in transfer! We are going for the first time, please advise!)
Members of the forum, please tell me how to navigate with a taxi at the place of arrival in Phuket? We are going to Thailand for the first time, we have no idea what the cost of a taxi ride from the airport to the hotel (Karon Beach, Your Place Inn) should be. How do taxi drivers travel, by meter or by agreement? Are they fooling the ignorant?) Thanks in advance!

I don’t remember the counters, I can focus on something about a thousand.

We got from the airport on the transport of the meeting side, but I’ll say for sure - they fool the new ones specifically, and they are very reluctant to bargain. No counters, you need an agreement before the trip (and not when you got into the car). From the airport to Karon should get about 500 baht, but it depends on the greed of the taxi driver, the time of day and the presence of his competitors nearby.

three adults are traveling. I would not like to give 1000, if possible, and 500))) but is there such a thing as an official taxi order at the airport? Or in this case, probably less than 1000 and it will not work?

We traveled from Phuket airport to Karon together for 800 baht. The cost is not according to the meter, but as we understood the official price, since we took a taxi through the office at the airport (there are a lot of them and they all attack with their offers, payment, by the way, through the cashier, not the driver). But it is best to go by taxi, it will take you directly to the hotel, without stops, with air conditioning and comfort. Especially if you eat for the first time, then why should you stray there, it’s better to sit down and drive. On the way, the taxi driver may stop at a travel agency, supposedly checking in. And there they will try to sell you excursions at a price 3 times higher than next to your own hotel in Karon. So be vigilant! Have a nice rest!

Here's another way you can save money. You can buy a minibus ticket. There, besides you, there will be 4-5 more people and, accordingly, you will be taken to the hotels. The cost is 150 baht per person. Tickets can be purchased immediately upon exiting the airport.

To Karon, if memory serves, on a minibus 180 baht per person, and by taxi if you go right to the end of the building, we left for 650 baht.

Yes, when you get your luggage and go out into the city, there will be a lot of offers from taxi companies. Their tax is fixed, show a printout from the hotel and they will announce the cost. We drove to Karon for 700 baht by taxi in comfort.
