Phuket is a very large Internationl Airport. Beside being a large European Tourist destination, you can easily arrange connectiing flights from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Peak season sees as many as 40 flights a day! With the rapid expansion of budget airlines in Asia, you should be able to fly at prices cheaper than the trains and just a little bit more than buses!
Phuket Airport is also only 75 KM South of Khao Lak! That's less than one hour away, as we are connected by a very scenic and rapid road. Please allow us to arrange your transit between the airport and Phuket Airport.

If you fly International direct, please expect a long customs/immigration wait - as long as 1 hour!
If you arrive from a domestic flight you should be able to walk right out the door minutes after landing.
Asia has recently liberalized its airways and is now home to the worlds best flight bargains. Budget airlines abound and offer some incredible deals. several of them have great internet booking sites and give you some real peace of mind about travelling to and from our area.
If you arrive in bangkok and then are transferring to a domsetic flight please allow at least 2 hours for various immigration/customs checks - it rarely takes this long, but you never know.
Later in 2006 the second airport will open in Bangkok, and we will update you about changes in procedure.
As with most International Airports, you can easily rent cars (don't forget that we drive on the Left here!)
