How to Get from Khao Lak to Phuket

By Taxi

Need to leave Khao Lak and get to Phuket fast? Taxi is your easiest move.

The distance is about 90 kilometers. On average, the trip takes around 1 hour 30 minutes. The fare usually falls between 1,500 and 2,200 THB, depending on traffic and the time of day. Most taxis offer fixed prices rather than meters. Always confirm the fare before the ride — it saves awkward chats later.

If you're staying at a resort, the front desk can help arrange a trusted local taxi. Grab app might work, but not always reliable this far north.

Private Transfer

Want peace of mind and zero negotiation? Pre-book a private transfer instead.

Kiwitaxi offers transfer service from any address in Khao Lak straight to Phuket. The cost is set when you book. You choose the car type, and the driver shows up right on time. No searching, no waiting. Just a clean, quiet car and a direct ride to your destination.

By Bus

Looking to save some cash? Buses are cheap and fairly dependable.

Public buses from Khao Lak run to Phuket Bus Terminal 2. The trip takes about 90 minutes and tickets cost around 80 THB. They’ve got air conditioning, but don’t expect luxury. It's fine if you’re traveling light and not in a hurry.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

Economy – for 1–2 passengers
Comfort – for families and couples with luggage
Minivan – for groups, extra luggage or strollers
Business – for those who prefer more space and quiet

Transfer with Children

Tired kids, backpacks, and tight timing? Skip the stress.

Kiwitaxi lets you book a car with a child seat in advance. The car arrives with everything ready. Safe, smooth, and quiet — just what you want before the road trip begins.

Transfer with Pets

Not all taxis or buses will take animals. And sometimes they cancel last minute.

Kiwitaxi offers a pet-friendly transfer service. Just select the option when booking. Your pet travels with you — no boxes, no surprises, no drama.

What to Remember Before Leaving Khao Lak

This place moves slow. That’s the charm. One more coffee near the beach won’t hurt. The waves are steady, and the sun is usually kind.

Take a short walk before you go. Palm trees, quiet streets, that salty breeze. You’ll miss it sooner than you think.

Phuket will be busier. But you’ll carry some of Khao Lak’s stillness with you. It’s that kind of place.
