Phuket with land prices on this glorious island
at record levels, the pace of development has slowed to a trickle.
Which means that Phuket's wonderfully laid-back and tropical character
remain as before. Visitors can also expect to find a beach or
a bay to suit individual tastes. Patong is fast and glitzy, while
Kata and Karon are serene backwaters. Year-round good weather,
quality hotels at reasonable prices and the amazing choice of
leisure pursuits mean that the island will continue to be one
of Asia's hottest resorts in 1996.
Phuket International Airport (Tel. 076/327320)
is located on the northwest coast of the island, about 32 km northwest
of Phuket town.
There is currently no decent pubic transport system from Phuket airport to the beaches, so you are more or less obliged to take a taxi to your chosen destination. These cost about B400 to the main west-coast beaches of Ao Patong, Ao Karon, and Ao Kata, or about B300 to Phuket town. You can rent cars direct form the airport: both Avis ( Tel. 076/327358 ) and Hertz ( Tel. 076/327230) have desk in the arrivals area.
