The Basics:
1. Getting there and away
From the airport, catch a bus to Phuket Town for 100 baht. From Ranong road in town it’s easy to catch a songthaew (open-backed bus) or tuk-tuk to any of the beaches from around 7am. Just be sure not to miss the last songthaew back in the late afternoon. Or you can rent a motorbike… put a poodle in the basket and cram on as many people as possible, if you want to go Thai style!
