Worth knowing about Phuket
- Phuket's airport is at the far north of the island, 32 km from Phuket Town, so the transfer to the main beach areas is a long road journey rather than a short hop.
- The airport uses Terminal 2 for international flights, Terminal 3 for domestic and Terminal X for charters, so a domestic connection means moving between buildings.
- Phuket is Thailand's third-busiest airport, expanded in 2016 from 6.5 million to 20 million passengers a year, so arrivals halls are heavily loaded in season.
