The options

How to choose

  • Leaving in the evening: ask your hotel to keep your bags and enjoy the beach.
  • Changing beach: storage in the Old Town is handy, see Phuket Old Town.
  • Arriving early: drop your bags before check-in rather than carrying them around.
  • Heading to the airport: see Phuket airport and beaches and allow a margin for traffic.

Before booking

Check the maximum size and insurance, keep your passport, money and medication on you, and keep the receipt. A private airport transfer simplifies both arrival and departure.
