Phuket Airport to Khao Lak Ramada Resort

Hi There,

Does anyone have a rough idea how much transport is from Phuket Airport to Ramada Khao Lak?

Or can anyone recommend a driver or recommended company and prices....

26 days to go and counting...

Phuket Airport to Khao Lak Ramada Resort

Hi idtraveller,

Iam leaving for Khao Lak this Saturday and staying at the ramada resort. I have booked transportation with hotel and they will charge one way - 1500 THB.

One day to go!!

Here is another recommendation from an ex-pat living in Khao Lak posted previously on this Forum:

';I%26#39;m not one to usually post things about transportation, but I thought I would plug a dear friend of ours. His name is Sit, he%26#39;s married and has a 3-year-old girl. All of them were literally in the tsunami waters. I helped facilitate the funding for a new car for them so Sit could start a taxi service in Khao Lak. He now is the proud owner of a new Toyota. He is available for transfers and will give you a good rate if you tell him that ';John and Roong'; sent you (We live in Khao Lak). Hand your mobile phone to someone that speaks English/Thai that can help you arrange this transfer. Or call us at 0899900216 in October. We would be glad to help you. I%26#39;m plugging Sit anytime I can to help them get back their lives. They are beautiful people...they%26#39;d be a part of your vacation.

Sit%26#39;s Taxi Service mobile phone is 0810855511. He speaks Thai with a minimal of English. Have an interpretor on hand if possible......

I also might add that Sit is a license taxi service, with green license plates, insurance and permits. Many transfer drivers are not and I tend to give my money to those that have worked hard to secure the proper business requirements. This shows they are indeed in the business and not just %26#39;scab%26#39; labor. The others are actually breaking the law and so you are on your own. For example, without the permitting, they may not be able to take you to the airport. Its a dog-eat-dog out there....';

1500 baht is about the going rate by taxi from the airport. Plenty just outside the Arrivals Hall. Ignore the taxi touts inside.

Thank You very much for your recommendation. Will try to find out about Sit.
