About Travel to Phuket International Airport

We recommend taking a joint speedboat and minivan service from Koh Lipe to Phuket International Airport. You can travel independently by taking a separate speedboat service from Koh Lipe to Phuket, and then organising land transport to travel from the ferry pier to the airport when you arrive. However, taxi services in Phuket are relatively expensive and for couples or individual travellers completing the journey independently works out costing a lot more.

• Location of the Pier in Koh Lipe:

Whether you take a joint service all the way from Koh Lipe to Phuket International Airport, or travel independently, the route you take will be the same. There are several companies providing speedboat services from Koh Lipe to Phuket which take around 5 hours to complete the journey.

The reason it takes 5 hours to travel by speedboat from Koh Lipe to Phuket is because shared speedboat services make a number of stops at other islands along the way rather than travelling direct. The number of islands the speedboat stops at changes according to demand so the journey time can vary. Nearly all services, however, will stop at Koh Lanta (3 hours into the journey) and then Koh Phi Phi (4 hours into the journey) and then take a further hour to reach Phuket.

• Location of Rassada Pier:

The point of arrival in Phuket for speedboat services from Koh Lipe is Rassada Pier. Rassada Pier is located near Phuket Town in the south of the island. Depending on the route you take, Phuket International Airport is located 35 to 43 km by road to the north of Rassada Pier. If you book a joint speedboat and minivan service, then a vehicle will be waiting for you when you arrive at Rassada Pier ready to take you on a 1 hour 15 minute journey by road to the airport.

• Location of Phuket International Airport:

If you decide not to take a joint speedboat and minivan service from Koh Lipe to Phuket International Airport, then you will need to organise your own transport from Rassada Pier. Two options for travelling from the pier to airport include:

• Taxi (booked online):
  • Around 800 THB for a 4 door car
  • Around 1,400 THB for a minivan
• Public Bus:
  • The first bus you need to take is a shared taxi 4 km into Phuket Town. These depart from a bus stop on the Anuphasphuketkarn Road which is about a 1.1 km walk away from the entrance to the bus terminal.
  • From Phuket Bus Terminal 1, which is in the centre of Phuket Town, take the Phuket Airport Bus which completes the journey from Phuket Town to Phuket International Airport in 90 minutes.
